Steel Strand Manufacturers Introduction What issues should be paid attention to when choosing steel strands? It seems to be an inconspicuous wire, but it is composed of many steel wires. Its application is not very common in life, but it is relatively common in some large-scale projects, such as bridges, so more attention should be paid to some details when choosing it.

　　1. Outer packaging. After receiving the goods, the first thing to check is the outer packaging. If the outer packaging is damaged, the contents inside will be more or less worn. Finished steel strands are usually tightly wrapped in rust-proof aluminum foil. When purchasing, check whether the outer packaging is intact and check the nameplate parameters on the packaging, which indicate the brand, origin, and strength grade of the steel strand. Pay attention to checking and confirming.

　　2. Deformation and wear. After checking the outer packaging, you can tear off the outer wrapping paper and look at the appearance of the wire inside, and see if the outside is a smooth steel strand. If the surface of the steel strand is found to be rough or even deformed, it indicates that the production process of this batch of steel strands has problems, and the quality has safety hazards and cannot be used normally.

　　3. Raw materials. Next, we need to look at the raw materials. Because the main material of the wire is steel wire, and the normal steel strand produced should have a round outer shape, but there are some steel strands on the market with elliptical steel wires. We should pay attention to distinguishing them when purchasing. After checking the appearance and parameters, the next step is to use a vernier caliper and other corresponding measuring tools to measure and test the specifications of the steel strand to ensure that its specifications and quality meet the standards.

　　4. Random inspection. Although all inspections are completed, they need to be transported to the construction site later. After the purchased steel strands arrive at the site, check and keep the delivery note and warranty certificate, and conduct random sampling inspection of the batch of steel strands that have arrived. Only steel strands that pass the inspection of specifications, models, and mechanical properties can be used for engineering construction. If there are any unqualified or non-compliant wires during the acceptance, you can request a return or exchange.

　　5. Selected manufacturers. Many people think that steel strands are actually a consumable product, so they don't care much about whether the company provides relevant after-sales service. This is not the case. After-sales service does not mean service after using the steel strand, but exists from the moment the order is placed. If accidents occur during delivery, or if the quality is found to be unqualified after receiving the goods, these all fall within the scope of after-sales service, so it is necessary to choose a factory with after-sales service to cooperate with.

　　The above is an introduction to steel strand manufacturers and what issues should be paid attention to when choosing steel strands. There are many types of steel strands on the market, and different wires are used in different occasions, so many manufacturers customize wires according to different requirements, which leads to price differences. In order to ensure quality, you must compare several manufacturers when purchasing.
