Available in FC fibre core and IWRC independent wire rope core, full popular constructions including 1×7, 1×19, 7×7,
7×19, 6×19 and 6×37 are covered. Manufactured in strict accordance with GB/T 20118, ASTM A368, ISO 2408 and EN 12385
international standards. The finished rope features mirror smooth surface, uniform strand arrangement and burr-free
finish
with stable mechanical properties.
Stainless Steel Wire Rope is perfectly applicable for harsh working scenarios such as coastal marine engineering,
outdoor
landscape decoration, food and medical clean equipment, precision instruments, new energy PV systems and intelligent
equipment tensioning. We provide one-stop deep processing services including fixed-length cutting, mirror polishing,
end

Material & Performance Data
1. 304 Austenitic Structure
The 304 Stainless Steel Wire Rope is stranded from 304 austenitic stainless steel wire, so corrosion resistance comes
from
the material itself, not a surface coating. There is no zinc layer to peel, flake or wear through. It resists
coastal salt
spray, outdoor rain exposure and mild acid-base media. Service life in these conditions is 3–5 times that of
ordinary
galvanized wire rope.
2. No Coating Debris
Because there is no coating, the rope produces no zinc particles, scale or rust debris during operation. The surface
is
burr-free and easy to clean. This meets cleanliness requirements for food processing equipment, medical device
suspension
and precision instrument rigging, where coating debris would contaminate the process.
3. Non-Magnetic Property
304 austenitic stainless steel is naturally non-magnetic. Stranding introduces a slight residual magnetism, which is
normal and does not affect conventional use. For medical nuclear magnetic equipment, precision electronic
instruments and
security sensors that require stricter limits, custom demagnetization is available.
4. Stranding Structure for Repeated Bending
Multi-strand precision stranding distributes stress evenly across the wires. The rope withstands frequent bending,
pulley
reciprocating motion and micro tension deformation without fatigue failure, wire breakage or strand loosening. This
suits
precision automation equipment, intelligent lifting systems and suspension applications with continuous movement.
5. Diameter and Strength Range
Diameter range is 0.3mm–32mm, with 1570MPa and 1770MPa tensile grades available. FC fibre core and IWRC steel core
are
both supplied. Constructions cover 1×7, 1×19, 7×7, 7×19, 6×19 and 6×37. Fixed-length cutting, end grinding and
precision
polishing are available.
6. Batch Inspection and Export Documentation
Each batch is inspected for dimensional accuracy, surface condition, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
Material certificates, test reports and factory qualifications ship with every order. SGS and BV third-party
inspection is
supported. English export documents comply with the destination market's import and engineering acceptance
requirements.
Application Scenarios
1. Coastal & Marine Engineering
Marine equipment tensioning, coastal building curtain wall landscape cables, and offshore structure rigging for high
salt-spray environments.
2. Architectural & Landscape Decoration
High-end commercial decorative suspension cables, outdoor art landscape tensioning, and curtain wall fixing for
cultural
tourism projects.
3. Medical & Food Clean Equipment
Clean instrument suspension, medical equipment lifting traction, and food processing equipment rigging requiring high
cleanliness and zero precipitation.
4. Precision Instruments & Automation
Precision instrument lifting traction, automatic equipment tensioning, and intelligent lifting systems requiring
non-magnetic and low-noise performance.
5. New Energy & Smart Home
PV bracket wind-resistant tensioning, wind power equipment rigging, and smart home lifting and drying equipment
traction
systems.
6. Chemical & Light-Duty Anti-Corrosion Structures
Chemical mild anti-corrosion structures, light-duty equipment fixation, and security rigging for indoor and outdoor
applications.
Successful Cases
• Southeast Asia Coastal Landscape & Curtain Wall Renovation Project (2025): We supplied 360
tons of
7×19 structured 304 stainless steel wire rope for coastal cultural tourism landscape upgrading projects in Singapore
and Malaysia, applied to curtain wall tension fixation, landscape light suspension and outdoor art modeling
tensioning.
Adopting mirror polishing and anti-oxidation oil sealing technology for local high salt-spray and high-humidity
marine
climate, the products maintain rust-free, fade-free and breakage-free performance in long-term outdoor service,
satisfying dual demands of high-end decoration and structural load-bearing. The project passed one-time acceptance
and
established long-term annual strategic cooperation.
• European Medical Clean Equipment Supporting Project (2025): We undertook customized orders from
German
precision medical equipment manufacturers and supplied 180 tons of ultra-fine non-magnetic 304 steel wire rope with
1×7
& 1×19 structures for clean instrument suspension and automatic equipment lifting traction. Featuring high
cleanliness, zero precipitation, zero magnetic interference and burr-free surface, the products fully comply with EU
medical equipment safety and cleanliness standards. Complete English qualifications ensured smooth customs clearance
and stable continuous bulk supply.
• Australian Smart Home & PV New Energy Project (2024): We delivered 280 tons of multi-spec 304
stainless steel wire rope for Australian distributed PV power stations and smart home industrial parks, used for PV
bracket wind-resistant tensioning and smart drying equipment traction systems. With excellent fatigue resistance, UV
exposure resistance and high dimensional accuracy, the products adapt to high-frequency reciprocating operation of

FAQ
Q1: What are the core differences between 304 steel wire rope and galvanized wire rope?
A: 304 stainless steel wire rope adopts intrinsic material anti-rust technology without coating peeling risk,
featuring
salt spray resistance, acid-base resistance, high cleanliness and non-magnetic environmental performance, suitable
for
high-end harsh scenarios such as coastal areas, outdoor projects, medical & food equipment and precision
instruments.
Galvanized wire rope relies on surface coating for rust prevention and is prone to peeling and rusting, only
applicable
for ordinary dry indoor conditions. 304 stainless steel rope is the priority for high-end anti-corrosion, clean and
long-term service projects.
Q2: Is stainless steel wire rope completely non-magnetic?
A: 304 austenitic stainless steel is naturally non-magnetic. Slight residual magnetism generated during stranding
processing is a normal industrial phenomenon, which has no impact on conventional usage and meets most non-magnetic
working requirements. Custom demagnetization service is available for ultra-high non-magnetic standard scenarios
such as
medical and precision instrument applications.
Q3: How to choose between FC fibre core and IWRC steel core?
A: FC fibre core delivers better flexibility, smoother bending and lighter weight, ideal for high-end decorative
suspension, precision equipment traction and high-frequency small-amplitude bending scenarios. IWRC steel core
features
higher structural strength, better crush resistance, deformation resistance and breaking load, suitable for
high-load
scenarios such as outdoor tension fixation, medium load-bearing and equipment reinforcement.
Q4: Are non-standard specifications, precision cutting and personalized customization available?
A: Full-dimensional customization is supported. We produce non-standard diameters from 0.3mm to 32mm and arbitrary
fixed
lengths, providing mirror re-polishing, burr removal, end grinding and cutting deep processing. Strict production
according to engineering drawings and rigging parameters meets various high-end non-standard project requirements.
Q5: About certificates, lead time and warranty policy?
A: Each batch is equipped with material certificates, factory qualification certificates, mechanical performance and
anti-corrosion test reports, supporting SGS and BV third-party inspection. Mainstream sizes are in stock with
small-batch
delivery within 3-7 working days, and bulk customization is scheduled according to process cycle. The products
feature
stable anti-rust and anti-corrosion performance, with formal after-sales warranty and technical support for
non-artificial
material and process quality problems.
