Abstract
The galvanized high strength steel wire with a tensile strength of 180 kgf/mm2 has been developed. This wire is characterized by that it contains 1%Si. The ductility, delayed fracture characteristic and corrosion resistance of this wire are equal to those of the conventional wires, while the fatigue strength, creep strength and low temperature toughness of this wire are higher than those of the conventional wires. This wire also provides excellent cable characteristics, such as resistance to lateral pressure and bending stress and socket fitting.
