Fig. 19 Fretting fatigue failure of steel wire rope after seawater service. Wire diameter was 1.5 mm (0.06 in.). See also Fig. 20 . Courtesy of R.B. Waterhouse, University of Nottingham More

Fig. 1 End of a steel wire-rope wire that failed in tension because of overloading. Necking at the end of the wire indicates ductile fracture. More

Fig. 20 Optical images of typical wire-rope surface. Several external wire breaks (arrows) were observed. More

Fig. 1 End of a steel wire rope that failed in tension because of overloading. Necking at the ends of the wires indicates ductile fracture; no worn or abraded areas were found at the break. More

Fig. 5 Steel wire rope with heavy corrosion and broken individual wires resulting from intermittent underwater service. More

Fig. 6 Steel wire rope, used on a cleaning-line crane, that failed from fatigue resulting from vibration caused by shock loading. (a) Section of the wire rope adjacent to the fracture. Approximately 1 1 2 ×. (b) Unetched longitudinal section of a wire from the rope showing fatigue More

Fig. 8 Wire rope, made of improved plow steel with a fiber core, that failed because of heavy abrasion and crushing under normal loading. (a) Crushed rope showing abraded wires and crown wear. 1.8×. (b) Nital-etched specimen showing martensite layer (top) and uniform, heavily drawn More

Fig. 4 Optical images of typical outer wire-rope surface (a) remote from and (b) near to the fracture surface. Some abrasion (arrows in a) was observed along the crowns of the wires. Internal wire breaks (shown in b) were observed frequently near the fracture. More

Fig. 5 Optical images of typical outer strands of core wire rope near the fracture surface. The observed interstrand nicking (white arrows) and fractures (red arrows) are shown in (b). More

Fig. 8 Steel wire rope with heavy corrosion and broken individual wires resulting from intermittent underwater service More

Fig. 10 Optical images of typical outer strands of the wire rope. Interstrand nicking (arrows in a) as well as wire breaks through the nicking damage (arrows in b) were observed. More

Fig. 14 Photographs of typical sections of wire rope. The polymer sleeve was removed due to abrasion and wear, exposing the crown of the wires; plastic damage was observed along the crowns of the wires. More
