The invention belongs to the field of application of steel for steel wire ropes, in particular to a method for producing high-speed mute and durable steel wire ropes for elevators. The steel for the steel wire ropes comprises the chemical components in
mass percentage: 0.64-0.69% of C, 0.10-0.30% of Si, 0.30-0.60% of Mn, at most 0.020% of P, at most 0.010% of S and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities, wherein the target
mass percentage of a part of chemical components is as follows: 0.65% of C, 0.50% of Mn and 0.15% of Si; and the size of the impurities is controlled by below 8mu m. The method comprises the following steps: (1) descaling and drawing a steel
wire rod prepared from the steel components for the first-time annealing, drawing again for the second-time annealing, then drawing to obtain steel wires, wherein the drawing pass after the second-time annealing is 6, and finally standing the steel wires to form a semi-finished product of steel
wire rope for elevators; (2)plastic-
coating the semi-finished product of steel
wire rope for elevators to form a flat ribbon, wherein the thickness of the flat ribbon is 3mm, and thus obtaining the high-speed mute and durable steel
wire rope for elevators. The steel wire
rope for elevators produced by the method has the advantages of high strength, muteness, durability, and the method has a simple process and is suitable forproduction application.
