The ST2 Hardwire®
is a high carbon steel cord with a micro-fine brass or AO-brass (Adhesion
Optimized) coating. The ST2 cord is made by twisting two individual wire
filaments together at a medium twist angle. The result is an easy to handle
cord that bends well in a metal break and has great engineering values
in the thinnest Hardwire® profile available. If your application is
requires a thin envelope, yet needs the ductility and tear resistance
Hardwire® provides then ST2 should be your choice.
Characteristics:
Best properties
in tensile applications.
Excellent
mix of engineering properties - Up to 4KIPS/inch.
Extremely
conformable - bends easily and retains its shape.
Asymmetric
shape acts like a screw and gives great mechanical bonding characteristics.
Excellent
fatigue properties in tension and in high-flex situations.
Great choice
for vertical and overhead applications where weight of fabric is critical.
Best used
in applications where thin layers are required.
