Stainless Steel 8mm Wire Rope Cable 304 Grade-7X19 Core/Construction

SS 304 wire rope is a versatile, corrosion-resistant cable made from the most common stainless steel grade, offering good strength, flexibility, and durability for general indoor, industrial, and some marine/outdoor uses, though less resistant to saltwater than SS 316; it’s used in rigging, fencing, and architectural applications where aesthetics and moderate corrosion resistance are needed, known for its bright finish and good mechanical properties.

Key Characteristics:
Material: Grade 304 Stainless Steel, known for good mechanical properties and resistance to a range of corrosive media.
Corrosion Resistance: Good, making it suitable for indoor, food processing, and mild outdoor/marine environments, but 316 is better for harsh saltwater.
Strength: Offers high tensile strength and load-bearing capacity for lifting, pulling, and securing.
Flexibility: Designed to be flexible for easy handling and bending in various applications, often in stranded constructions (like 6×7, 7×7, 6×19).
Appearance: Often has a bright or polished finish, adding to its aesthetic appeal.

Common Applications:
Marine & Offshore: Mooring, anchoring, and rigging (less severe conditions than 316).
Construction: Cranes, scaffolding, and architectural features.
Industrial: General rigging, fencing (especially electrical), and heavy machinery.
Food/Kitchen: Due to its sanitization ease and corrosion resistance.

Wire Strands-Wire rope is typically composed of multiple strands of steel wire twisted or braided together. The number of strands can vary depending on the specific application and required strength.

Strength- Steel wire rope is known for its high tensile strength, which allows it to withstand heavy loads without breaking. The strength of wire rope is determined by factors such as the diameter of the rope, the number of strands, and the grade of steel used in its construction.

Flexibility-Despite its strength, wire rope remains flexible, allowing it to bend and conform to various shapes and configurations. This flexibility is essential for applications that require maneuverability and adaptability.

Durability-Steel wire rope is highly durable and resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and fatigue, making it suitable for use in challenging environments such as construction sites, marine settings, and industrial facilities.
