STAINLESS STEEL OPEN SPIRAL STRAND (OSX)
OSX cables are manufactured using layers of helically wound stainless steel round wires around a central core. The standard stainless-steel grade used to produce OSX is 1.4401 (AISI 316). Each wire has a minimum tensile strength of 1470 N/mm2. Stainless steel cables do not need for an internal corrosion inhibitor compound. Therefore, they are usually produced dry or with a light manufacturing oil.
