The impact of the surface quality factor in the performance behavior of steel wire ropes for mines

$15.00

In the mining industry, wire ropes are widely used for winding/haulage purposes and are considered safety equipment. Hostile load conditions can seriously damage the rope surface, causing localized stress concentration at the defective sites. Fatigue strength is reduced to a considerable extent leading to premature failure.
