2. Ultimate tensile strength - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_strength

   Ultimate tensile strength (also called UTS, tensile strength, TS, ultimate strength or in notation) [ 1] is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. In brittle materials, the ultimate tensile strength is close to the yield point, whereas in ductile materials, the ultimate tensile strength ...

3. Wire rope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_rope

   Wire rope. Steel wire rope (right hand lang lay) Wire rope is composed of as few as two solid, metal wires twisted into a helix that forms a composite rope, in a pattern known as laid rope. Larger diameter wire rope consists of multiple strands of such laid rope in a pattern known as cable laid. Manufactured using an industrial machine known as ...

4. Aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium-conductor_steel...

   Aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable. Sample cross-section of high tension power (pylon) line, showing 1 strand (7 wires) of steel surrounded by 4 concentric layers of aluminium. Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable ( ACSR) is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines.

5. Wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire

   Wire-cloth of all degrees of strength and fineness of mesh is used for sifting and screening machinery, for draining paper pulp, for window screens, and for many other purposes. Vast quantities of aluminium, copper, nickel and steel wire are employed for telephone and data cables, and as conductors in electric power transmission, and heating.

6. PC strand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pc_strand

   PC strand. PC Strand, or prestressed concrete steel strand, is a twisted steel cable composed of 2, 3, 7 or 19 high strength steel wires and is stress-relieved (stabilized) for prestressed concrete or similar purposes.

7. Copper-clad steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-clad_steel

   Copper-clad steel ( CCS ), also known as copper-covered steel or the trademarked name Copperweld is a bi-metallic product, mainly used in the wire industry that combines the high mechanical strength of steel with the conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper . It is mainly used for grounding purposes, line tracing to locate underground ...
