Two major and opposing characteristics of wire rope slings are flexibility and resistance to abrasion. To a great extent, these traits are a direct function of the number of wires. Fewer wires means larger diameter wires, better abrasion resistance, and reduced flexibility. More wires result in decreased wire diameter, reduced abrasion resistance, increased flexibility and kink resistance.
