White Metals for Socketting the Rope Ends

Adhesive force of the metals under static tensile stress

Abstract

White metals for socketting the rope ends used in mine haulages, cable cranes and suspension bridges etc. are treated. The adhesive forces between some white metals and the steel wire are compared and the effects of the varing conditions of preparation are investigated.
The relation between the adhesive force and some mechanical properties of the white, metals is also briefly described.
