1.0mm Stainless Steel Wire Rope – Marine Grade

This is super easy to use wire for the DIY guy who wants that economical balustrading – used by both Professionals and DIY’s, it is excellent with all fittings however, it is NOT
recommended for coastal or marine applications. Other uses extend to:

• Picture Hanging
• Shop Fitting
• Artistic Installations
• Trellis structuring
• ‘Green Wall’ construction
• Light Hanging
• Security Cable
• Prop Construction

…and whatever the creative genius can imagine.

This 1.0mm Stainless Steel Wire Rope is considered a flexible wire making it easy to work with and has virtually no stretch coefficient. Its ease of use makes it excellent for use with Thimble and Ferrule fittings as well as hydraulically swaged fittings.

Our international supplier is dedicated to high carbon wire and rope manufacturing. Their long experience of wire and rope manufacturing enables them to design and  manufacture wire and rope with optimal balance between high tensile strength, fatigue resistance, abrasion resistance, and structural stability. The added bonus is that they provide a special treatment for bright and smooth surface of wire and cable to deliver a truly top-shelf, long lasting product that will look new for ages…

Wire Structure:

Three common wire strand constructions are:

• 1×19 indicates 19 thin wires twisted together in a silky and therefore smooth finish. Consequently, 19 individual wires twisted together construct a single strand of our premium wire. This is the least flexible wire structure. As a result, it is the easiest to keep clean.
• 7×7 indicates a collection of 49 individual wires grouped as 7 sub-strands of 7 wires each. Consequently, 7 wire bundles twisted together form a single strand. This is more (medium) flexible wire than 1×19. As a result, it is for ‘general purpose’ applications and is most economical because it is commonly available.
• 7×19 indicates a collection of 133 individual wires grouped as 7 sub-strands of 19 wires each. Consequently, 7 wire bundles of 19 wires twisted together form a single strand. This is our most flexible wire for use in rigging or small cranes or winches rather than balustrade construction. Low Cost Wire does not recommend 7×19 wire for balustrade construction.

…In conclusion, the more wires twisted to make a strand, the more flexible is the strand of wire because it deforms/bends without damage.

Specifications:

• Quality: Marine
• AISI Grade: 316
• Lay: Right Hand
  
• Swaging Method:  Manual
  
• Wire Structure: 7×7, 7×19, 1×19
• Diameter of Wire: 1.0mm

Application & Use

• This wire may be manually or hydraulically swaged.
• Cutting of the wire  is best done using Parrot Beak cutters (collapsing trapezoidal design) rather than shears or a grinder.
• Terminal Loops are formed with Mechanical fastening or manual swaging. Terminal loops must use stainless steel thimbles  (eyelets) to retain the strength of the wire by distributing the load along  the entire length of wire in the terminal loop
• Manual swaging is done using Ferrules (or crimps or hand swages) must be Nickel Coated Copper to avoid catastrophic swaging failure (aluminium swages WILL corrode the wire). A Manual All -in-1 swaging tools or pliers are recommended.
• Hydraulic swaging is done using a hydraulic press which is either bench mounted or hand held. Therefore, hydraulic swaging for architectural purposes may  economically use a  Professional Hydraulic Swaging Tool. These tools generate pressure ‘spot’ welds. Low Cost Wire strongly recommends that hydraulic swaging for lifting and marine
  applications use a bench mounted hydraulic press which can generate pressure ‘seam’ welds.

Features & Benefits:
