Wire for mining ropes (underground mining and open-pit mining)

Advantages

  • High tensile strength leading to outperforming breaking load = solution for higher depths
  • Consistent steel wire quality leading to wear resistant ropes
  • Excellent ductility on wire level leading to optimal fatigue properties on rope level
  • Solutions for improved corrosion resistance in order to cope with the harsh environments
