Abstract

The efficiency of diamond wire saw upon ex plo i tation of natural stone depends on the right choice of the const ructional and technological fac¬tors of the machine, diamond wire and conditions, and way of explora¬tion in the particular kind of the rock. One of these parameters is the steel rope of diamond wire.
A long-standing work on testing and certifying of hoisting ropes, experience and knowledge acquired upon these testings, aroused us to a detailed analysis and testing of the ropes which are used in diamond wire shaping. The paper presents the results of testings of steel ropes of diamond wire and the testings of rope joints i.e. tensile strength which can resist the joints between separate rope sections. The suggested idea regarding construction desings of steel rope of diamond wire, which is used in natural carbonate stone exploitation, is based on this experimen¬tal testing of steel ropes.
