Abstract: The coatings are galvanized, aluminized, nylon or plastic coated. Galvanized steel is divided into thin coating of steel wire first and then drawn and thick coating of galvanized steel after drawing. The mechanical performance of thick coating is lower than that of smooth steel wire rope, so it should be used in severe corrosive environment. Aluminum-plated steel wire rope is more corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant and heat-resistant than galvanized steel wire rope. It is mainly used in fishing trawlers and H2S-containing mines. It is produced by the method of first plating and then drawing. The steel wire rope coated with nylon or plastic is divided into two types: coated rope and coated stranded rope. The former is used for static cables and the latter is used for moving cables.
