A 4.9 mm steel core wire is a type of steel wire rope with a central steel core and a diameter of 4.9 mm. It is often made from high-carbon steel, though stainless steel options are also available.
- Material: Typically made from high-carbon steel, but can also be found in galvanized or stainless steel versions.
- Core: Features a steel core, providing increased strength and resistance to crushing and distortion.
- Construction: Common constructions include 6x7, 1x19, or a combination like 6x7+1x19.
- Diameter: 4.9 mm (with a potential tolerance of +/- 0.05 mm).
- Tensile Strength: Can be high, reaching 2160 N/mm² in some cases.
- Finish: Can be galvanized for corrosion resistance.
Applications
4.9 mm steel core wire rope is commonly used in industrial settings requiring high strength and durability, such as:
- Diamond wire cutting of marble and granite.
- Concrete cutting.
- Marble and granite block squaring.
- General mining applications.
