|
Surface wear on the wires of a wire rope |
| Acceleration Stress |
|---|
|
Additional stress imposed on a wire rope due to increasing the velocity of the load |
| Aircraft Cables |
|---|
|
Strands, cords and wire ropes made of special strength wire primarily for aircraft controls and miscellaneous uses in the Aircraft Industry |
| Alternate Lay |
|---|
|
Lay of a wire rope in which the strands are alternately regular and lang lay |
| Area, Metallic |

| ASTM |
|---|
|
ASTM International, originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials; Publishes many standards concerning the design, manufacture, and material used in wire, wire rope, and wire rope slings |
| Austenitic Types |
|---|
|
Stainless steels that have high ductility, low yield stress, and relatively high ultimate tensile strength, when compared to typical carbon steel. Added alloys (such as Nickel and Chrome) help increase corrosion resistance, among other properties |
