Abstract (en)

A cable (10) for wire saw comprises a multi-strand steel cord (20) wherein the steel cord (20) is coated with a second polymer material (30). The steel cord (20) comprises at least one core strand (40) and plurality layer strands (50), while the core strand (40) is coated with a first polymer material (60) before the construction of the steel cord (20). The fine polymer coatings (60,30) on the core strand and the steel cord not only prevent the corrosive and abrasive cooling water from entering into the cable, but also maintains the flexibility of the cable to endure the constant change bending load during the sawing operation. A wire saw and a spring loaded diamond bead wire saw comprising a cable incorporating present invention are also provided.
