Steel strand is a kind of steel product made by twisting multiple steel wires. In order to extend the performance, the steel wire can be coated or coated with metal or HDPE. There are many types of steel strands, and the performance of different types is also different. There are many things that need to be paid attention to when using. The following editor will introduce the types of steel strands and many precautions for use in detail.

Classification of Steel Strand

1. Classified by purpose

Prestressed steel strands, (electricity supply) galvanized steel strands and stainless steel strands. The prestressed steel strands are coated with anti-corrosion grease or paraffin wax and then covered with HDPE, which are called unbonded prestressed steel strands. Prestressed steel strands The line is also made of galvanized or galvanized aluminum alloy steel wire.

2. Classified according to material characteristics

Steel-stranded wire, aluminum-clad steel-stranded wire, and stainless steel-stranded wire.

3. Classified by structure

Prestressed steel strands can be divided into 7 wires, 2 wires, 3 wires, and 19 wires according to the number of steel wires. The most commonly used structure is 7 wires.

Galvanized steel strands and aluminum-clad steel strands for power users are also divided into 2, 3, 7, 19, and 37 structures according to the number of steel wires, and the most commonly used is the 7-wire structure.

4. Classification by surface coating

It can be divided into (smooth) steel strand, galvanized steel strand, epoxy-coated steel strand, aluminum-clad steel strand, copper-plated steel strand, HDPE-coated steel strand, etc.

Precautions for Use of Steel Strand

1. During the construction of the prestressed steel strand, it is forbidden to use any heating method to deform the steel strand which will reduce the performance of the prestressed steel.

2. During construction, it is forbidden to weld it, because the height of its welding point is higher than the welding point of its steel. In the process of our construction, it is easy to cause the welding point to be disconnected.

3. When cutting, a toothless saw should be used. Cutting by electric or gas welding will cause damage to the surface around the steel, and at the same time cause localized heat generation, which reduces its own performance.

4. When circulative arranging ribs on it, its bending degree should not be less than three times that of steel.

5. The steel strands that have not been packaged should be placed in a vertical position, starting from the inner ring. The drawn steel strand presents a spring-like steel strand and can be automatically straightened. The twisting direction of the drawn steel strand should be the same as that of the strand, otherwise, it will become twisted or chaotic.

6. The direction of the steel strand used in the mine is different from what we usually use, but the opposite. If it is not, it is difficult to use it with anchors.

7. The quality of the prestressed steel wire pier has nothing to do with the quality of the steel wire itself. However, it is very effective to produce steel wire under excessively high strength, but it is not very good to produce the pier. I suggest that you still choose to use anchors as piers so that the overall effect will be better.
