ʻO ke kaula kū'ē he kaula ia i manaʻo ʻia no ka hana ʻana i nā pale uila (i hoʻohana ʻia e kāohi i ka nui o ke au i loko o kahi kaapuni). ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi inā he kiʻekiʻe ke kū'ē ʻana o ka mea hao i hoʻohana ʻia, ʻoiai hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia kahi kaula pōkole. I nā kūlana he nui, ʻo ke kūpaʻa o ka pale he mea nui ia, a no laila ke pāʻani nui nei ke koina mahana o ka mea hao o ka kū'ē ʻana a me ke kū'ē ʻana i ka palaho i ke koho ʻana i nā mea.

Ke hoʻohana ʻia ke uea kū'ē no nā mea hoʻomehana (i loko o nā mea hoʻomehana uila, nā toasters, a me nā mea like), he mea nui ke kū'ē kiʻekiʻe a me ke kū'ē'ē oxidation.

I kekahi manawa, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ke kaula kū'ē e ka pauka seramika a ua uhi ʻia i loko o kahi paipu o kahi hui hao ʻē aʻe. Hoʻohana ʻia kēlā mau mea hoʻomehana i loko o nā umu uila a me nā mea hoʻomehana wai, a ma nā ʻano kūikawā no nā kapuahi kuke.
UeaʻO ke kaula he mau kaula hao i wili ʻia i loko o kahi helix e hana ana i kahi "kaula" hui pū ʻia, ma ke ʻano i kapa ʻia ʻo "kaula kau". ʻO ke kaula uea nui aʻe ke anawaena he mau kaula he nui o ia kaula i kau ʻia ma ke ʻano i kapa ʻia ʻo "uweai kau ʻia”.

ʻO ka maʻamau, hana ʻia nā uea kila no nā kaula uea me ke kila kalapona ʻaʻole me ka nui o ke kalapona he 0.4 a 0.95%. ʻO ka ikaika kiʻekiʻe loa o nā uea kaula e hiki ai i nā kaula uea ke kākoʻo i nā ikaika tensile nui a holo ma luna o nā puʻu me nā anawaena liʻiliʻi.

Ma nā kaula i kapa ʻia ʻo cross lay, keʻa nā uea o nā papa like ʻole kekahi i kekahi. Ma nā kaula like i hoʻohana nui ʻia, ua like ka lōʻihi o nā papa uea a pau a ua like nā uea o nā papa ʻelua i hoʻopili ʻia, e hopena ana i ka pilina linear. Kākoʻo ʻia ke uea o ka papa waho e ʻelua mau uea o ka papa o loko. He mau hoalauna kēia mau uea ma ka lōʻihi holoʻokoʻa o ke kaula. Hana ʻia nā kaula like i hoʻokahi hana. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ke ahonui o nā kaula uea me kēia ʻano kaula ma mua o nā mea (kākaʻikahi ka hoʻohana ʻia) me nā kaula like. Loaʻa i nā kaula like me ʻelua mau papa uea ke kūkulu ʻia ʻo Filler, Seale a i ʻole Warrington.

Ma ke kumu, he mau kaula poepoe nā kaula wili no ka mea he hui o nā papa o nā uea i kau ʻia ma luna o ke kikowaena me ka liʻiliʻi o hoʻokahi papa o nā uea i kau ʻia ma ke ʻano ʻē aʻe i ka papa o waho. Hiki ke ana ʻia nā kaula wili i ke ʻano ʻaʻole lākou e wili ana ʻo ia hoʻi ma lalo o ke kaomi ʻana kokoke i ka ʻole o ka torque kaula. ʻO ke kaula wili hāmama he mau uea poepoe wale nō. ʻO ke kaula wili hapalua-paʻa a me ke kaula wili piha-paʻa mau he kikowaena i hana ʻia me nā uea poepoe. Loaʻa i nā kaula wili paʻa hoʻokahi a ʻoi aku paha nā papa o waho o nā uea profile. Loaʻa iā lākou ka pōmaikaʻi ʻo kā lākou kūkulu ʻana e pale ai i ke komo ʻana o ka lepo a me ka wai i kahi nui a pale pū ia iā lākou mai ka nalowale ʻana o ka lubricant. Eia kekahi, loaʻa iā lākou kekahi pōmaikaʻi koʻikoʻi loa ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki i nā wēlau o kahi uea waho i haki ke haʻalele i ke kaula inā loaʻa iā ia nā ana kūpono.

Ua haku ʻia ke kaula stranded me kekahi mau kaula liʻiliʻi i hoʻopili ʻia a i ʻōwili ʻia paha e hana i kahi alakaʻi nui aʻe. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ke kaula stranded ma mua o ke kaula paʻa o ka huina ʻāpana like. Hoʻohana ʻia ke kaula stranded i ka wāke kū'ē kiʻekiʻepono ka luhi metala. ʻO ia mau kūlana e pili ana i nā pilina ma waena o nā papa kaapuni i nā mea hana papa kaapuni i paʻi ʻia he nui, kahi e hoʻopuka ai ka paʻakikī o ka uea paʻa i ka nui o ke kaumaha ma muli o ka neʻe ʻana i ka wā o ka ʻākoakoa a i ʻole ka lawelawe ʻana; nā kaula laina AC no nā mīkini; nā kaula mea kani; nā kaula ʻiole kamepiula; nā kaula electrode kuʻihao; nā kaula hoʻomalu e hoʻopili ana i nā ʻāpana mīkini neʻe; nā kaula mīkini eli; nā kaula mīkini hope; a me nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui.

Ma nā alapine kiʻekiʻe, hele ke au kokoke i ka ʻili o ke kaula ma muli o ka hopena ʻili, e hopena ana i ka hoʻonui ʻia o ka pohō mana i loko o ke kaula. Me he mea lā e hōʻemi ana ke kaula wili i kēia hopena, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻili o nā kaula ma mua o ka ʻili o ke kaula paʻa like, akā ʻaʻole hōʻemi ke kaula wili maʻamau i ka hopena ʻili no ka mea ua pōkole nā ​​kaula āpau a hana like me ke alakaʻi hoʻokahi. E loaʻa i kahi kaula wilike kū'ē kiʻekiʻema mua o kahi uea paʻa o ke anawaena like no ka mea ʻaʻole keleawe āpau ke keʻa o ka uea i wili ʻia; aia nā hakahaka hiki ʻole ke pale ʻia ma waena o nā kaula (ʻo kēia ka pilikia hoʻopaʻa pōʻai no nā pōʻai i loko o kahi pōʻai). ʻO kahi uea i wili ʻia me ka ʻāpana like o ke alakaʻi e like me ka uea paʻa e ʻōlelo ʻia he anawaena like like a he nui mau ke anawaena.

Eia nō naʻe, no nā noi alapine kiʻekiʻe he nui, ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi o ka hopena kokoke ma mua o ka hopena ʻili, a i kekahi mau hihia palena ʻia, hiki i ka uea kaula maʻalahi ke hōʻemi i ka hopena kokoke. No ka hana maikaʻi aʻe ma nā alapine kiʻekiʻe, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka uea litz, nona nā kaula pākahi i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia a milo ʻia i nā ʻano kūikawā.
ʻO ka nui o nā kaula uea pākahi i loko o kahi pūʻolo uea, ʻo ka ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi, ka pale ʻana i ka ʻoki ʻana, ka pale ʻana i ka haki ʻana, a me ka ikaika o ka uea. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka nui o nā kaula e hoʻonui ai i ka paʻakikī o ka hana ʻana a me ke kumukūʻai.

No nā kumu geometric, ʻo ka helu haʻahaʻa loa o nā kaula i ʻike pinepine ʻia he 7: hoʻokahi ma waena, me 6 e hoʻopuni ana iā ia me ka pili kokoke. ʻO ka pae aʻe i luna he 19, ʻo ia kekahi papa o 12 mau kaula ma luna o ka 7. Ma hope o kēlā, ʻokoʻa ka helu, akā he mea maʻamau ka 37 a me 49, a laila ma ka pae 70 a 100 (ʻaʻole pololei ka helu). ʻO nā helu nui aʻe ma mua o kēlā e loaʻa pinepine ʻia ma nā kaula nui loa.

No ka noi ʻana ma kahi e neʻe ai ke kaula, ʻo 19 ka haʻahaʻa loa e hoʻohana ʻia (pono e hoʻohana wale ʻia ʻo 7 i nā noi kahi i kau ʻia ai ke kaula a laila ʻaʻole neʻe), a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o 49. No nā noi me ka neʻe mau ʻana, e like me nā robots hōʻuluʻulu a me nā kaula headphone, pono ka 70 a 100.

No nā noi e pono ai ka maʻalahi hou aku, hoʻohana ʻia nā kaula hou aku (ʻo nā kaula kuʻihao ka laʻana maʻamau, akā ʻo kekahi noi e pono ai ke hoʻoneʻe i ka uea ma nā wahi paʻa). ʻO kekahi laʻana he uea 2/0 i hana ʻia mai 5,292 mau kaula o ka uea #36 gauge. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā kaula ma ka hana mua ʻana i kahi pūʻolo o 7 mau kaula. A laila hoʻohui ʻia 7 o kēia mau pūʻolo i loko o nā pūʻolo super. ʻO ka hope loa, hoʻohana ʻia 108 mau pūʻolo super e hana i ke kaula hope loa. Hoʻopili ʻia kēlā me kēia hui o nā uea i loko o kahi helix i ka wā e pelu ai ka uea, neʻe ka ʻāpana o kahi pūʻolo i hohola ʻia a puni ka helix i kahi ʻāpana i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e ʻae i ka uea e emi ke kaumaha.
