Abstract
A new technique based on hydrodynamic principles and used previously to apply a thin polymer coating successfully onto wires and strips, has been investigated in relation to the polymer coating of mild-steel wire ropes. A low-density polymer was used as the coating material and coating tests were carried out at different melt temperatures and different speeds. For the same size of rope, two different coating thicknesses were applied by using hydrodynamic pressure units of different outlet diameters. The technical feasibility of the process is discussed based on the experimental results obtained in this study.
