1+12 Stainless Steel Wire Ropes
description1

Production introduction
The 1+12 stainless steel wire rope is engineered to meet the demands of both industrial and architectural applications. In this construction, the single core wire serves as the load-bearing element, while the twelve surrounding wires add to its strength and help distribute tension evenly across the rope. This design offers greater flexibility than 1x7 but retains sufficient rigidity for tension-based uses.
Available in both AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel grades, these ropes cater to various application environments. AISI 304 is suitable for indoor or mildly corrosive settings, while AISI 316—with its superior molybdenum content—resists saltwater and harsh chemicals, making it perfect for marine and coastal use. Manufactured with precision and available in custom diameters and lengths, this product is reliable, durable, and visually appealing thanks to its smooth, polished surface.

Features
- Balanced Construction: 1+12 configuration offers an excellent compromise between strength and flexibility.
- Corrosion Resistance: AISI 316 excels in marine environments; AISI 304 is ideal for general-purpose use.
- Uniform Load Distribution: The surrounding wires enhance strength and reduce wear.
- Smooth Finish: Aesthetic polish makes it suitable for visible installations.
- Versatile Sizing: Can be tailored to meet unique specifications.
- Long-Term Performance: Built for sustained use with minimal maintenance.

Application
Due to its structural reliability and corrosion resistance, the 1+12 stainless steel wire rope is widely used in various industries:
- Architecture: Ideal for tension structures, cable railings, and decorative suspension systems.
- Marine: Frequently used in sailboat rigging, dock lines, and boat lifts (especially AISI 316).
- Agricultural Support: Excellent for fencing, greenhouse framing, and vineyard trellises.
- Industrial: Employed in light lifting, cable assemblies, and hoisting systems.
- DIY and Craft: Used in hanging displays, shelving, and creative interior designs.
