Wire rope is a deep-processed product with high-carbon steel hot-rolled wire as the main raw material, and occupies an important position in the national economy, especially in mining, metallurgy, petroleum, coal, marine transportation, forestry, ports, construction and other operations. In addition to being used for binding, towing, and slinging, it is mainly used in various forms of transmission and travel equipment to carry people and objects.
