The rope was retired earlier than expected because it met the criteria for removal based on the number and distribution of wire breaks. Its chemistry, strength and ductility compared favorably to standards for new ropes. Metallography revealed minor anomalies, but these appeared indiscriminately in both the good and the bad segments, and in both broken and unbroken wires. Only one item appeared to be related to the failure of wires, and this was the appearance of a construction anomaly. This anomaly, termed a dive, disrupts the construction of the strand, and may cause excessive crown wear or unusual wear patterns.The wire breaks removed from the rope were all found in the vicinity of dives. The investigation suggests that the dives are responsible for the premature retirement of the hoist rope. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. 1. INTRODUCTION Wire ropes transmit large axial loads, and exhibit extreme flexibility. In addition, a wire rope is designed so that it can withstand some wire breaks without a loss of integrity. These characteristics make wire rope a versatile component in many systems. Wire ropes are used in many industries,with applications that include mining, offshore oil production, and towing or mooring of ships. The Albany Research Center has been studying the degradation mechanisms of wire ropes with the goal of more accurately predicting when the end of the useful life of a rope has been reached. In partnership with Henderson Mine, Albany Research Center personnel investigated a hoist rope that was retired after an unexpectedly short service life.After 9 months of service, the rope was retired because it exceeded the allowable number of broken wires per lay length [1]. Two rope segments were selected for investigation. One segment was at or near the location that r
