Material of Steel Strand

Steel strand is made of multiple high-carbon steel wires or multiple low-carbon steel wires twisted together. It is an indispensable material in the field of modern engineering. It shows excellent mechanical properties and durability,it is widely used in key structures such as power transmission lines and railways.

The reason why steel strand stands out among many materials is due to its unique composition. High-carbon steel wire gives it the characteristics of high strength and hardness,which can withstand huge tensile strength and ensure stability and safety of the structure. Low-carbon steel wire is a metal wire made of steel with a low carbon content, and its carbon content is very low to ensure the balance of strength and toughness of steel. In manufacturing process, steel strand adopts advanced twisting technology to tightly combine multiple steel wires to form a structure with extremely high overall strength. This structure not only enhances bearing capacity of steel strand,  but also effectively prevents relative sliding between steel wires, and improves stability and durability of the structure.

1. Basic material of steel strand

The basic material of strand is steel. This material has high strength and is very suitable for occasions requiring high strength and stability.

2. Classification and material characteristics of steel strands

(1) Prestressed steel strands

(2) Galvanized steel strands: Galvanized steel strands have a zinc coating added to carbon steel surface to improve their corrosion resistance. This type of steel strand is often used in places that require high durability. Extended products include epoxy-coated galvanized steel strands (PVC/PE coated) and aluminum-zinc-coated steel strands(Zn-5%Al-mischmetal alloy-coated steel wire strands / galfan strands).

(3) Other types of steel strands: In addition, there are many types, and the materials and performance of these steel strands are also different,suitable for different application scenarios.

In summary, the material of steel strands is mainly steel. Through different surface treatment processes and material ratios, steel strand products suitable for different occasions and needs can be produced. High-strength steel strands are made of high-quality high-carbon steel materials with extremely high tensile strength and stable performance. At the same time, its smooth surface and low friction coefficient are conducive to reducing wear and energy loss during use and extending service life.
