Method of Extending the Fatigue Life of Wire Rope.
Abstract
A method of prestretching a wire rope to substantially increase its useful life. Wire rope is stretched with loads less than its measured tensile breaking strength, which causes a slight plastic stretch. This plastic stretch has been found to increase its useful life by extending the fatigue life of the wire rope. (Author)
