Abstract
A method of constructing a wire rope from plural outer strands and a core, the core having one or more core strands, each of the one or more core strands having plural core wires, the method comprising: swaging the core to laterally compress the core to an extent sufficient to cause concave deformation of at least some of the plural core wires; and closing the plural outer strands over the core to produce the wire rope.

A method of constructing a wire rope from plural outer strands and a core, the core having one or more core strands, each of the one or more core strands having plural core wires, the method comprising:
- swaging the core to laterally compress the core to an extent sufficient to cause concave deformation of at least some of the plural core wires;
- and
- closing the plural outer strands over the core to produce the wire rope.
A wire rope comprising:
- an independently swaged core having one or more core strands, each of the one or more core strands having plural core wires, in which at least some of the plural core wires have a concave deformity;
- and
- plural outer strands closed over the core.
A method of constructing a wire rope from plural outer strands and a core, the core having one or more core strands, each of the one or more core strands having plural core wires, the method comprising:
- swaging the core to laterally compress the core to an extent sufficient to cause deformation and lateral displacement between adjacent core wires of at least some of the plural core wires;
- and
- closing the plural outer strands over the core to produce the wire rope.
