I'm doing a report on the manufacturing process for wire rope used in ski lifts. I've found general information on how wire rope is put together but I need some specific details (ie. how thick each wire is, how many wires make up each strand, how many strands are used to make the rope, and how they determine all of those factors based on the load it's expected to carry).
The report format is very flexible, but my professor does want us to focus the majority of the report on a primary manufacturing process. The problem is that one of the questions I need answered is what wire diameter they use, since that determines whether or not the wire was drawn or extruded (the two possible primary manufacturing processes for producing circular wires). However, that question only needs to be answered if I have to make an educated guess as to how the wire is produced, unless someone knows the actual process that is used to produce the wire that's used...
I'm hoping someone here has some answers for me...
