Common Stainless Steel Cable Applications

Carl Stahl Sava Industries has been using stainless steel to manufacture wire rope throughout its 50 years in business. Sava has produced stainless steel cable for NASA, which is used in solar arrays and the legendary Space Shuttle. Likewise, Sava uses this reliable wire rope material in complex medical instruments used to treat Atrial fibrillation, as well as in endoscopic devices and an array of other lifesaving applications. Broadly speaking, the stainless steel cable Sava produces is found in aircraft, defense systems, lighting and even costume jewelry. While less ideal under extreme heat than tungsten cables, stainless steel anti-rotation cable is a cost-effective and well-performing alternative in the growth of semiconductor crystals.
