What are the categories of wire rope?

According to the contact state of the adjacent layers of steel wire in the strand, the steel wire rope can be divided into three basic structural forms: point-contact steel wire rope, line-contact steel wire rope and face-contact steel wire rope. According to the form of strand section, the wire rope can be divided into round strand wire rope and special-shaped strand wire rope (the special-shaped strand wire rope mainly includes triangular strand wire rope, elliptical strand wire rope and sector strand wire rope). According to the surface state of steel wire (wire rope), wire rope can be divided into smooth wire rope, galvanized (zinc aluminum alloy) wire rope and coated (coated) plastic steel wire rope.
