This 1" premium galvanized aircraft cable wire rope features a 6x26 construction, offering flexibility combined with substantial load-bearing capability for demanding applications. Manufactured from extra improved plow steel (EIPS), it delivers enhanced tensile strength with a minimum breaking strength of 103,400 lb. The drawn wire process involves pulling the steel through precision dies, creating a more uniform diameter, smoother surface, and improved consistency in strength throughout the cable. An independent wire rope core (IWRC) provides internal reinforcement, helping the rope resist crushing and maintain its structure under heavy loads. Its galvanized coating helps protect against corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments. This wire rope is commonly used for rigging, crane operations, heavy lifting, winch lines, suspension systems, and structural support in construction, infrastructure, and material handling applications.

Recommended amperage ranges are general guidelines; optimal settings vary with base-metal thickness, joint design, shielding gas, and welding position. Store wire in a dry location to prevent oxidation and ensure smooth feeding.
⚠ WARNING: This product and the fumes and gases produced when welding it can expose you to chemicals including nickel and hexavalent chromium compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, and manganese, which is known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
