The Longevity and Applications of 1/4 Inch Stainless Steel Cable Casting

[EllieMayB]

Hey everybody, I'm curious about the durability of 1/4 inch stainless steel cable casting. Does any individual have any experience with it?

[Lillian123]

I've employed it for various projects, mainly in construction and exterior installations. I find it incredibly enduring and resistant to corrosion. Get you considered using it for a specific application?

[Copeland3]

Thanks for sharing! I'm actually looking into incorporating it into a suspension span style for a school project. Do you think it would shouldered well under constant stress and exposure to the elements?
