Stainless steel wire ropes, made of quality 201,304, 316 steels, are the most corrosive type for marine environments and other places subjected to salt water spray. Meanwhile, bright and shiny appearance can be maintained for years rather than dull as galvanized steel wire ropes.

Different Of Core:
FC stands for fiber core
Made of natural or synthetic fiber, which can provide excellent flexibility and resistance to contact pressure.
The fiber core can store lubrication to reduce the friction between wire strands effectively. Meanwhile, the fiber core makes the rope lower deformable with low elastic rope elongation.
WSC is abbreviation of wire strand core. WSC ropes features better heat resistance than FC ropes, meanwhile, increase metallic section provide added 15% of strength.
However, WSC steel ropes are less flexible than those with fiber cores.
IWRC is short for independent wire rope core, which strengths the rope, reduce tensile stress in individual wires as well as makes the ropes more resistant to crushing.
At the same time, IWRC wire ropes have the maximum heat resistance than others FC or WSC ropes.
Cross laid wire rope means each wire of different layers contacts in points and has relatively large spaces between wires.
It is extremely flexible and generally used in slings. Compared with parallel laid wire rope, this one has smaller contact area which makes it easier to fail due to fatigue and shear over time.
Parallel laid wire rope has wider contact areas with minimal breaks caused by inside abrasion.
They boast low bending fatigue and higher breaking load without any destruction of strand shapes taking advantages of their tight structure. Normally, parallel laid wire ropes can be classified into four types: seale type (S), filler wire type (F), warrington type (W) and warrington & seale type (WS) as shown below:
