High-strength steel wires must meet the core requirements of bridges for long-term load-bearing, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance, with their characteristics concentrated in the following aspects:
1. Excellent Mechanical Properties: The tensile strength reaches over 1600MPa, far exceeding that of ordinary steel bars, which can reduce the self-weight of cables and optimize the cross-section. The elastic modulus is about 200-210GPa, resulting in small deformation under force, ensuring stability under dynamic loads. It also has certain plasticity and toughness to avoid brittle fracture.
2. Strong Fatigue Resistance: Stress concentration is reduced through process optimization, enabling it to withstand millions of cycles of loads. Surface treatments (such as galvanizing) reduce the impact of stress corrosion, meeting the design life requirement of ≥50 years.
3. High Durability and Corrosion Resistance: Hot-dip galvanizing forms a protective layer of ≥85μm, resisting corrosion through sacrificial anodes. Some grades contain alloying elements, forming a self-healing oxide layer. Combined with epoxy coating, PE sheathing, grease filling, etc., to isolate corrosive media.
4. Precise Dimension and Shape Control: Diameter deviation ≤ ±0.06mm to ensure uniform force bearing. Good straightness and winding property ensure no excessive stress during stranding, guaranteeing cable consistency.
