Wire is a long-cut metalware used as a semi-finished product to manufacture mesh, springs, wire ropes and cables, electric wires, electrodes etc.
- shape;
- condition of surface finish;
- chemical composition;
- mechnical properties and other traits.
According to GOST 2333-74
the wire is classified by:
- uncoated or zinc-coated steel wire per GOST
7372-79 ;
- organic or metal core. Organic cores are made of cotton and polymer thread bast fiber (hemp, sisal, abaca) and cord.
- design;
- core material: organic (ОС), metal (МС);
- designation: cargo/passenger to hoist and transport people and cargoes; cargo – to handle cargo.
- ТК – bracing cargo-protection cables, temporary timber floating lashings etc.;
- ЛК-О – hoisting cables of ships and elevators, hauling cables on cable ways;
- ЛК-Р – cables for smelter cranes, mine winding plants, excavators;
- ЛК 3 – cables for all industries except those assuming cable operation in hostile environments;
- ЛК -РО – cables for operation in hostile environments.
Depending on its designation, the wire is made from different steel grades: commercial wire per
GOST 3282 - from rod and from low-carbon steel per
GOST 1050-74
; spring wire per
GOST 9389-75 - from carbon steel with 0.4 –
1.0% carbon content, alloyed spring wire per
GOST
14963-78 60С2А, 65С2ВА, quality grade wire –
from such steel grades as: 08кп, Ст10, Ст10пс, Ст15кп, Ст20, Ст35, Ст40 & Ст50 etc.
Cable is a product composed of the following materials:
Cable lines are subdivided by several characteristic features including:
