Wire ropes commonly used in hoists include phosphating coated wire ropes, galvanized wire ropes and stainless steel wire ropes, which are used in atmospheric environment. The manganese phosphating coated steel wire rope produced by patented technology has the longest service life. At present, the fatigue test data show that the fatigue life of phosphating coated steel wire rope is about 3-4 times that of smooth steel wire rope with the same structure (under comparable conditions in the laboratory), and the reason for the extremely long service life of steel wire rope is that it is not easy to wear and rust, which has far exceeded that of imported steel wire rope. In heavy corrosive environment, hot dip galvanized-phosphating double-coated steel wire rope is preferred for reference only.
