___________________________________________

where the reader pregnant with Noel's child is rescued by the brothers from paparazzi

___________________________________________

Dinner with Liam Gallagher was never meant to be a subdued occasion. Tonight, however, the plan was refreshingly straightforward: you, Noel, and Liam sharing a meal at a little pub, nothing too outlandish.

However, Noel had been unusually vigilant since the plans were made. Ever since you’d told him you were pregnant, he’d been watching you like a hawk, swooping in at the faintest sign of discomfort. As the two of you headed to the car, his concern was already in full swing.

“Yer sure you’re up for this?” he asked, his brow furrowed. “If you’re knackered, we’ll sack it off, no bother.”

You laughed softly, nudging him with your elbow. “I’m pregnant, Noel, not made of glass. Stop fussin’, will you?”

From where Liam stood leaning against the car, putting out his cigarette, his laugh barked through the air. “Him? Fussin’? Nah, couldn’t be our Noelly.”

“Shut it, Liam,” Noel muttered, though his ears turned a bit pink. He opened the passenger door for you, his movements precise, almost rehearsed. Once you were seated, he crouched slightly to adjust your seatbelt.

“Yer comfy, yeah?”

You rolled your eyes but couldn’t help smiling. “Yes, Noel. For the tenth time, I’m fine.”

“She’s fine,” Liam chimed from the backseat, swinging into the car with the casual energy only he could pull off. “But keep at it, and she might lamp ya before we get there.”

Noel gave him a sharp look but didn’t stop sneaking glances at you as he started the car. Liam’s chatter quickly filled the space, jumping from rants about the music industry (“Full of divs, the lot of ’em!”) to animated speculation about the pub’s beer. “If it’s shite, I swear I’ll kick off,” he declared. You caught Noel’s eye and shared an amused smile, his fingers brushing yours for a quick, reassuring squeeze as Liam continued his tirade.

When you arrived, the pub was every bit as inviting as Noel had promised. Warm lighting danced on wooden beams, the scent of food hung in the air, and a roaring fireplace cast a cozy glow. As the three of you slid into a corner booth, Liam wasted no time ordering a pint and a double order of chips. Noel, on the other hand, refused to stop his questions.

“Yer sure you don’t want water or juice? Maybe a tea instead?”

“Honestly, Noel, I’m fine,” you said, as much as you appreciated his care your patience was soon to be teetering on the edge of exasperation.

Across the table, Liam snorted. “She’s havin’ a meal, not a medical exam. Leave her be, nurse Noel.”

The evening unfolded smoothly—or as smoothly as it ever did with Liam at the table. He launched into an array of outlandish stories, complete with exaggerated gestures that had you doubled over in laughter. Noel, ever the counterweight, offered his quieter humor; pointed quips dropped at just the right moments, each one making you laugh harder than the last.

When the conversation lulled for a moment, you stood and announced, “Excuse me, I’ll be back in a minute.”

“Where you goin’ love?” Noel asked quickly, his tone alert.

“To the loo,” you said, giving him an amused look.

“Alright. But if it’s dodgy, just come back. Don’t be faffin’ about.”

“I’ll be fine, Noel.” You kissed him on the cheek, trying not to laugh at his protective streak.

“Relax, mate,” Liam said, smirking as he cradled his pint. “She’s off to the bog, not battlin’ a pack of wolves.”

Noel’s glare was as sharp as his tone. “No one asked you.”

Making your way through the pub, you reached the bathroom only to find a handwritten sign taped to the door: Out of Order—Apologies! Mildly annoyed, you flagged down a server to ask if there was another option. The young woman, clearly flustered, stammered out an apology.

“There’s a café next door letting our customers use their facilities. Just pop over—it’s no trouble.”

“It’s fine, thanks,” you said with a smile, grabbing your coat and stepping outside.

The brisk night air hit your cheeks, refreshing after the cozy warmth of the pub. You’d barely made it a few steps toward the café when a flash of light caught your eye. In an instant, a small swarm of paparazzi seemed to materialize out of nowhere. Cameras pointed at you, shutters clicking furiously as the questions began.

“Over here, love! When are you due?” “Is it true about the secret wedding?” “Excited to be a mum?" "Is Noel supportive enough?"

The cacophony of voices swirled around you, their questions cutting across each other in a dizzying blur. The flashbulbs felt blinding, and you instinctively placed your hands over your belly, your pulse quickening. The crowd surged closer, the chaos making it impossible to think.

Back in the pub, Noel sat in the booth, one leg bouncing anxiously under the table. He glanced at his watch for what felt like the hundredth time. “She’s been gone ages,” he muttered, his voice tight.

“She’s fine,” Liam replied, not even looking up as he reached for another chip. “Probably just some queue or summat.”

“Not for this long.” Noel pushed his chair back abruptly and grabbed his jacket. “I’m goin’ to check.”

Liam sighed, rolling his eyes as he stood too. “You’ll only make it worse if summat’s actually happened,” he said, shrugging on his coat.

“What d’you think I’m gonna do?” Noel shot back, glaring. “Yell at a toilet?”

“Wouldn’t put it past ya,” Liam muttered under his breath, trailing behind his brother as they headed out quickly into the night after being informed about the toilet situation.

The cool air outside did nothing to quell Noel’s growing worry, and he scanned the street quickly, his heart hammering in his chest. It wasn’t long before the source of the delay became clear. A cluster of paparazzi had formed outside the neighboring café, their cameras flashing furiously, their shouts cutting through the quiet evening like a blade.

Noel’s eyes zeroed in on you, caught in the center of the chaos. His stomach dropped at the sight of your pale face, your arms instinctively shielding your belly from the encroaching cameras. Without a second thought, he surged forward.

“Oi!” Noel’s voice cracked like a whip, sharp and commanding. “Back the fuck off, you vultures!”

Liam was right behind him, his voice booming even louder. “Yeah, piss off, ya daft cunts! Can’t you see she’s pregnant?”

The paparazzi froze for a split second, startled by the brothers' sudden appearance. A few lowered their cameras, stepping back slightly, but others continued snapping away.

Noel didn’t stop until he was at your side, his arm wrapping protectively around your shoulders. He pulled you close, his body a barrier between you and the flashing lenses. “You alright, love?” he asked, his voice soft but his tone urgent.

“I’m okay,” you said shakily, though your trembling hands betrayed you. “They just… came out of nowhere.”

His jaw tightened. “You should’ve told me where you were goin’,” he muttered, brushing a loose strand of hair from your face as he checked you over. “I’d’ve come with you.”

“I didn’t think it’d be a big deal,” you murmured, leaning into his touch.

“Well, next time, don’t take any chances,” he said firmly, already steering you back toward the pub with a protective hand on the small of your back. “Come on, let’s get inside love.”

Meanwhile, Liam lingered, his shouts still ringing in the air. “And don’t think about printin’ any of this shite, or I’ll find ya!” He raised a fist dramatically, making one paparazzo flinch knowing Liam's repuation.

Noel glanced back over his shoulder, irritation flaring. “Liam! For God’s sake, come on!”

“Yeah, yeah,” Liam grumbled, waving him off. “Go on, I’ll sort it.”

Once inside, Noel barely paused before pulling you into a tight embrace. His arms wrapped around you, his chin resting against your hair as he exhaled a shaky breath. “God, I’m glad you’re alright,” he murmured, his grip firm like he never wanted to let go.

You tilted your head up, catching his eye. “I’m fine, Noel,” you said gently, your hands moving to his chest. “Promise.”

He held your gaze for a moment, his expression a mix of worry and relief. “Scared the life out of me, y’know.”

“I know,” you whispered, your lips brushing against his in a soft, lingering kiss. His shoulders seemed to relax as he kissed you back, the tension melting away.

The tender moment didn’t last long. Just as you pulled apart, the door to the pub banged open with a loud clatter. You both turned quickly, startled, as Liam strode in, grinning like he’d just won a prize. In his hands were the twisted remnants of a camera tripod and a lens.

“They won’t be botherin’ you again!” he declared proudly, holding up his handiwork like a trophy. “Proper smashed their gear to bits.”

For a moment, there was stunned silence. Then, in perfect unison, you and Noel groaned, “Oh, Liam.”

“What?” Liam asked, genuinely perplexed as he dropped the mangled equipment onto a nearby table. “I did you a favor!”

Noel pinched the bridge of his nose. “You’re impossible.”

“And yet, here I am,” Liam said, grabbing his pint with a smirk. “Yer welcome, by the way.”

You shook your head, laughing despite yourself as Noel pulled you back into the booth. His arm stayed wrapped securely around you, his thumb brushing soothing circles against your arm, while Liam dove back into his chips like nothing had happened.

“Bloody idiots,” Liam muttered, still chewing, but there was a glint of amusement in his eyes. “Can’t even have a quiet dinner without all that drama.”

Noel shot him a look but didn’t reply. His focus was entirely on you now, the concern still evident in the way his eyes flickered over you. “You sure you’re alright, love?” he asked quietly, his voice low, as though anything louder might break the calm you were finally finding.

You nodded, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. “I’m fine, Noel. Honestly. Just a bit of a shock, that’s all.” You gave him a small smile, but it was enough to soften the tension in his shoulders.

Liam, as usual, wasn’t one for long moments of sentiment, and he cleared his throat before swiping another chip from his plate. “Right, well, since we’re all still alive and mostly intact, can we get back to the scran now?”

How on earth did these goats get there?

*****

In reality the goats are lying on their sides on rocky ground, looking up at a crane-mounted camera. The photograph was taken some years ago, part of a series reconstructing Central European folk customs and traditions which have fallen from favour or are now prohibited.

This old-fashioned rural blood-sport was originally practiced in parts of Anatolia, Turkey, where the game was called keçi fırlatmak, and also in the Carpathian Alps of Romania, possibly imported during the Ottoman conquest. The name there was aruncarea caprei.

*****

The goats would have been coated in a strong adhesive traditionally distilled from pine resin.(represented pictorially here by darker patches of dye on the flanks) and were then thrown upwards towards a cliff or rock-face with makeshift catapults, often a primitive form of counterweight trebuchet assembled from wooden beams and weighted with rocks.

The game ended when the glue dried and lost adhesion, and the goats fell to their deaths. They were then cooked and eaten, their meat being valued like that of Spanish fighting bulls.

The meat of the last goat to fall (başarılı keçi or cea mai durabilă capră) was prized as a special delicacy and selected cuts from the legs of this particular “winner” goat were often smoked and dried into a kind of jerky.

*****

In his “Grandes Histoires Vraies d'un Voyageur le 1er Avril” (pub. Mensonges & Faussetés, Paris, 1871) French folk-historian, anthropologist and retired cavalry general Gilles-Etienne Gérârd wrote about witnessing a festival near Sighișoara, Transylvania, in 1868.

There he claims to have seen catapults improvised from jeunes arbres, très élastiques et souples - “very springy and flexible young trees” - which were drawn back with ropes and then released.

Bets were placed before the throw, and marks given afterwards, according to what way up the goats adhered and for how long. The reconstruction, with both goats upright, facing outward and still in place, shows what would have been a potential high score.

The practice has been officially banned in both countries since the late 1940s, but supposedly still occurred in more isolated areas up to the end of the 20th century. Wooden beams from which the catapults were constructed could easily be disguised as barn-rafters etc., and of course flexible trees were, and are, just trees.

*****

Gérârd’s book incorrectly calls the goat jerky “pastrami”, to which he gives the meaning "meat of preservation".

While pastrami may be a printing error for the Turkish word bastırma or the Romanian pastramă, both meaning “preserved meat”, at least one reviewer claims that Gérârd misunderstood his guide-translator, who would have been working from rural dialect to formal Romanian to scholarly French.

Since this jerky was considered a good-luck food for shepherds, mountaineers, steeplejacks and others whose work involved a risk of falling, Gérârd's assumption seems a reasonable one.

However, several critical comments on that review have dismissed its conclusion, claiming "no translator could be so clumsy", but in its defence, other comments point out confusion between slang usage in the same language.

One cites American and British English, noting that even before differences in spelling (tire / tyre, kerb / curb etc.) "guns" can mean biceps or firearms, "flat" can mean a deflated wheel or a place to live, "ass" can mean buttocks or donkey and adds, with undisguised relish, some of the more embarrassing examples.

This comment concludes that since the errors "usually make sense in context", Gérârd's misapprehension is entitled to the same respect.

*****

The good-luck aspect of the meat apparently extended to work which involved "falling safely", since its last known use was believed to be in ration packs issued to the 1. Hava İndirme Tugayı (1st Airborne Brigade) of the Turkish Army, immediately before the invasion of Cyprus in July 1974.

Nothing more recent has been officially recorded, because the presence of cameras near military bases or possible - and of course illegal - contests is strongly (sometimes forcefully) discouraged, and the sport’s very existence is increasingly dismissed as an urban or more correctly rural legend.

The official line taken by both Anatolian and Carpathian authorities is that it was only ever a joke played on tourists, similar to the Australian “Drop-bear”, the Scottish “Wild Haggis” and the North American “Jackalope”.

They dismiss the evidence of Gérârd’s personal observation as “a wild fable to encourage sales of his book”, “a city-dweller’s misinterpretation of country practices”, or even “the deliberate deception of a gullible foreigner by humorous peasants”.

And as for those paratroop ration packs, Turkish involvement in Cyprus is still such a delicate subject that the standard response remains “no comment”.

Right-wing dark money activist Leonard Leo launches $1BN crusade to "‘crush" liberal America

Alex Rogers at Financial Times:

The conservative activist who led the crusade to overhaul the US legal system is making a $1bn push to “crush liberal dominance” across corporate America and in the country’s news and entertainment sectors. In a rare interview, Leonard Leo, the architect of the rightward shift on the Supreme Court under Donald Trump, said his non-profit advocacy group, the Marble Freedom Trust, was ready to confront the private sector in addition to the government. “We need to crush liberal dominance where it’s most insidious, so we’ll direct resources to build talent and capital formation pipelines in the areas of news and entertainment, where leftwing extremism is most evident,” Leo told the Financial Times. “Expect us to increase support for organisations that call out companies and financial institutions that bend to the woke mind virus spread by regulators and NGOs, so that they have to pay a price for putting extreme leftwing ideology ahead of consumers,” he said.

Leo has spent more than two decades at the influential Federalist Society, guiding conservative judges into the federal courts and the Supreme Court itself. In 2018, conservative justice Clarence Thomas joked that Leo was the third most important person in the world. Leo’s efforts culminated under Trump’s presidency, when three Federalist Society-backed judges were appointed to give conservatives on the Supreme Court a 6-3 supermajority, and profound influence over US law. The court has since then ruled to overturn the right to an abortion, among other long-sought rightwing causes. In 2020, after Trump lost the election, Leo stepped back from running the daily operations of the Federalist Society, while remaining its co-chair. The following year, Leo founded Marble, with a $1.6bn donation from electronic device manufacturing mogul Barre Seid, to be a counterweight to what he said was “dark money” of the left. He spent about $600mn in its first three years, according to public financial disclosures.

Leo said his goal was to find “very leveraged, impactful ways of reintroducing limited constitutional government and a civil society premised on freedom and personal responsibility and the virtues of western civilisation”. The $1bn money machine is now funding the conservative mission against private institutions, opposing diversity, equity and inclusion policies, climate and social concerns in investing and the “debanking” of politically conservative customers, in addition to taking on the public sector. The non-profit is increasingly interested in launching campaigns against “woke” banks and China-friendly companies involved in everything from food production to autonomous vehicles in the US and potentially Europe. Leo also intends to invest in a US local media company in the next 12 months, although he has not decided which, and is building conservative coalitions through groups such as Teneo Network, a club with chapters across the country. He also confirmed that Marble had since 2021 helped fund organisations that launched campaigns against companies with DEI, ESG and other initiatives, including BlackRock, Vanguard, American Airlines, Coca-Cola, State Farm, Major League Baseball and Ticketmaster.

The Financial Times interviewed right-wing dark money activist Leonard Leo, as he announced plans to launch a $1BN crusade to "‘crush" liberal America.

Leo has hinted that he’ll invest in an unnamed American media company within the next year.

WIP Wednesday Bonus

With one stylish, custom leather shoe planted firmly on the foot of the microphone stand to counterweight, he pulls your arms back against his chest. The curve of his nose slips through the sweaty valley between your shoulderblades, exposed by your risque (for the era) dress, and you arch into his touch against your better judgment. Don't act desperate, you remind yourself. Make him work for it.

He slides a hand down your leg and presses it against his so hard that you think the seam of your vintage stockings will be permanently etched into the back of your thighs tomorrow.

"Pretty little ingenue," Dieter/Victor snickers against your neck. "I like you. Maybe we do have room for two singers on stage tomorrow night."

You notice, not without a twinge of satisfaction, that Dieter's accent is starting to slip, as well as his consistency of character. You'll give him notes after this -- just like he felt entitled to give you.

---

Eventual fic of Dieter playing a slightly sleazy 1940s torch-song-club owner from Havana and an actress playing a cigarette girl who wants to upgrade her role. 😏 I'll need some extra time with this one to flesh out Dieter's characterization, since I've never written him before and am nervous. 😬

Paging @basicoccult @imalrightllama @exquisiteserotonin @youandmeand5bucks @secretelephanttattoo @rifflovesjoey @for-a-longlongtime and of course @rhoorl who hopefully won't judge my Dieter too harshly

finished counter/weight

it wasn't bad!

most actual plays do about 0.5 systems - they nominally use dnd 5e but mainly just do freestyle rp. it's wild to hear someone kitbash together what, 6 fucking systems? multiple groups of players operating at multiple levels asymmetrically? what a big swing! it's so fucking ambitious! i don't even know if it's a good idea!

the big downside of the variety in systems means that a huge chunk of the airtime is spent explaining, discussing and negotiating mechanics. the mechnoir portion was the absolute worst for this and i think part of what made the first session or two so rough was the players just not understanding the game or how to effectively use their characters. the benefit of this immense variety of systems is...i don't know? maybe it's fun to play? i didn't feel like the extended kingdom interlude was that interesting and i would have definitely preferred the events of that to be relayed to me in a 10-minute convo rather than negotiated through another system where the players seem barely cognizant of the stakes.

i found it very difficult to understand what was going on with the setting. a lot of setting names are thrown at you very fast and at this point i still don't know if i could confidently describe all of the big movers and shakers in the setting. still not 100% on who the rapid evening are, who diego rose was, who most of the big corps are and why they matter. i don't hate any of what i learned but i'm not sold on the divines in general. rigour is cool because i understand what rigour is and does. i don't get how righteousness works, nor any of the divines which aren't a giant robot. even at the end, when they were saying shit like 'ooh grace won't like that' i still didn't understand what that meant or why it mattered. maybe i'm just too stupid. that said, the parts that i did understand i thought were pretty decent.

i liked the chime and i liked the cast. audy was cool and had some great moments tho as i said, still don't know why their status as a divine matters. aria seemed like an insanely poor fit for the group but i like ali acampora as an entertainer so it balances out. mako was consistently delightful and the introduction of larry was my favourite character beat in the season. cass didn't make that much of an impression on me and it was too easy to forget they were royalty. i think austin should have laid down the law super hard in the first session and been like 'hey you guys are criminals, you are mercenaries, you do crimes for money, be on that wavelength' instead of like, however the fuck he described their deal with orth.

big fucking mistake: the custom XP triggers he worked out. podcast or no, do NOT ever give players a mechanical incentive to play suboptimally. players already play suboptimally; the mechanics should lead them by the nose into optimal play strategies. i would not recommend giving a player like keith an incentive to fuck up the mission with antics unless you want to ruin your friendships.

i think i would have enjoyed a less structured game along the lines of what is actually suggested by the rules of the sprawl. i guess this is just actual play podcasts in general but the thing is, most PBTA games make it pretty explicit that the game works best when you come in with a set of starting positions and assumptions instead of a predetermined storyline. austin can't help but come in with a big sheaf of predetermined storylines, down to specific planned scenes and even fucking maps. i would love to hear a podcast where someone plays the game as written for once.

i have no idea where to go from here. i'm sure as shit not listening to marielda because i know it will make me big nerd angry. i am not so invested in the setting that i absolutely must find out what happens in twilight mirage. if the hieron stuff is good maybe i'll listen to that next but i think i'm gonna give fatt a break for a while.

my OC for counterweight is the candidate of the divine antipathy.

Gilbert x Reader, Right Ventricle Left Atrium

tags: fluff, slice-of-life

Sometimes the night is for fishing things Gilbert dropped into the ancient, empty well in the shadow of the tallest castle tower when he was younger. Round, square, big, small, light, heavy; objects found in bedrooms, found in gutters, found in front of storefronts but never within; objects with no clear purpose at the time of discovery and yet Gilbert collected them and stored them at the bottom of the well to make new, customized things with to send to his penpals. Then an event happened shortly after and he never got the chance.

You accept what looks like a broken bottle but feels mossy and warm while Gilbert casts his self-rigged reel back into the well. "What were you planning to make with this?"

The clear night lets shadows linger on Gilbert, but he wears them like a happy smile. "I don't remember. I was far more imaginative as a kid than I am now. Hehe. You don't have to shudder like that. I wasn't so different from you at the time." His reel does most of the work, propped and secured on the well's stone lip with a palm-sized matrix of metallic counterweights.

"I don't remember doing... I take that back." There was that time with the kids in town and the rose tea heist. Semantically speaking, you'd committed your first and only crime at the age of seven. What Gilbert had done was far less illegal but just as whimsical in the way only a child could be.

Gilbert's chuckles ride on the soft hiss of his reel at work. He's come to hug you while he waits and while you continue to study the broken bottle. "I could have chosen a better storage than the bottom of a well, right? I wish I could say what was going through my mind then." He speaks like he's sharing someone else's anecdote and that's how you know that he absolutely remembers why he chose this place.

"I'm sure he cherished that time with you too," you say as you set the bottle beside the reel. "Children... People are funny like that. And it's the kind of thing that makes them loveable, don't you think?"

Gilbert drops his forehead against the back of your head. His embrace hasn't changed, but it somehow becomes more of what it is. His answer, silent everywhere the syllables are open, arrives and departs and leaves its gifts and ghosts at the threshold of your heart.

"If that's what you think... then I must have thought the same."

The Future of Tungsten: Market Size, CAGR, and Key Industry Insights to 2030

Automotive engineering is a sector where the choice of materials can significantly impact performance and safety. Among these materials is tungsten, a dense, hard, and highly heat-resistant metal. Its exceptional mechanical strength, high melting point of over 3,400°C, and superior wear resistance make it a natural fit for demanding automotive applications. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures means it plays a critical role in enhancing the durability and longevity of vehicle components, particularly in high-performance or heavy-duty vehicles.

Traditionally, tungsten has been used in engine components, counterweights, and braking systems, but recent innovations have significantly expanded its presence. For instance, tungsten alloys are now being utilized in crankshafts and piston pins, where their high density helps optimize balance and reduce engine vibration. The metal has 60% higher density than lead . Tungsten’s application in brake pads and rotors is also growing, as it offers safer and more durable braking systems in vehicles.

A major trend reshaping the tungsten market is the shift toward electric vehicles (EVs). As the automotive industry pushes for lighter, more efficient designs, tungsten is gaining attention due to its outstanding electrical conductivity and radiation shielding properties. Its role in heat sinks and thermal management systems in EVs is becoming especially vital, ensuring optimal battery performance and longevity.

Only about 2 kg of tungsten goes into every EV , but without that 2 kg, EVs would be more like a “glorified golf cart” than a high-performance vehicle, asserts Lewis Black, CEO of Almonty Industries. Automotive applications of the metal hold around a 25% share of the overall $37.8 million market . Due to its rising importance, the European Union, the United States, Japan, and China have listed tungsten as a critical mineral .

Market Movements

Several automakers and suppliers are adopting tungsten-based technologies. For example, Porsche has integrated tungsten-carbide-coated brake discs in its high-performance models such as the Porsche Macan Turbo, marketed as Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB). These offer reduced wear, extended component life, and 90% less brake dust.

In the electric vehicle segment, manufacturers are exploring tungsten’s use in battery pack shielding and high-performance connectors, where its thermal stability and radiation shielding capabilities help maintain safety and efficiency under high current loads. Tungsten’s role is especially important in fast-charging infrastructure, where components must handle intense heat and electrical stress without failure.

Meanwhile, automotive suppliers are developing advanced tungsten alloys for engine and drivetrain components. Sandvik, for instance, has invested in additive manufacturing technologies that use tungsten to 3D-print high-performance parts, pushing the boundaries of customization and production efficiency.

Other companies are leveraging tungsten-heavy alloys in engine valve seat inserts and turbochargers, especially for vehicles operating under high loads, such as trucks and performance vehicles. Their materials demonstrate superior resistance to thermal fatigue and corrosion, making them ideal for modern downsized, high-efficiency engines.

The Way Ahead

As the automotive industry accelerates toward more sustainable and high-performance vehicles, tungsten is cementing its role as a critical enabler of innovation. Its unmatched physical properties and versatility open the door for continued advancements in engine design, electric vehicle development, and safety systems.

We know, China is the global leader in the tungsten industry, accounting for over 80% of the world’s production. However, geopolitical concerns and supply chain risks have prompted manufacturers to diversify their sourcing strategies and invest in recycling programs. For instance, companies such as Global Tungsten & Powders (GTP) are expanding their tungsten recycling operations, recovering materials from used tooling and industrial scrap for re-entry into the supply chain.

Applications of Wire Ropes Across Industries and Sectors

Wire ropes are an integral part of modern engineering and industrial operations. Built from strands of metal wire twisted into a strong, flexible structure, they are trusted for their durability, load-bearing capacity, and resistance to wear. From lifting and hoisting to securing and towing, wire ropes are used in a variety of industries, each demanding specific performance characteristics.

In this post, we explore the wide-ranging applications of wire ropes across industries and sectors, while also understanding how a reputable wire rope company in India plays a crucial role in supplying top-tier solutions.

What Is a Wire Rope?

A wire rope consists of multiple strands of metal wires, twisted in a helical pattern around a core. This structure enhances flexibility while maintaining high tensile strength, making it ideal for mechanical operations.

The wire rope making process involves careful selection of materials (often high-carbon steel), precise engineering, and rigorous testing to meet industry-specific standards.

1. Construction and Infrastructure

Wire ropes are heavily used in the construction sector for:

Tower Cranes and Lifting Equipment

Suspension Bridges

Concrete Formwork and Structural Support

Construction requires wire ropes with high tensile strength and fatigue resistance. Reliable wire rope manufacturers in India produce ropes tailored to perform in these heavy-duty applications.

2. Mining Industry

Wire ropes are essential in mining operations for:

Hoisting and Dragging Ore

Underground Mining Lifts

Slope and Shaft Transportation

Given the abrasive environment, mining demands ropes with exceptional abrasion resistance and tensile capacity. A specialized wire rope company in India will often design ropes specifically for these challenging settings.

3. Oil and Gas Sector

In offshore drilling and rig operations, wire ropes are employed for:

Drilling Line Operations

Mooring and Anchoring

Winching and Hoisting

Ropes here must resist corrosion, extreme temperatures, and constant pressure. The wire rope making process for oil rigs includes galvanizing and using plastic-impregnated cores for added durability.

4. Marine and Shipping

In this sector, wire ropes support:

Anchor Handling

Fishing Nets and Trawling

Mooring and Towing Vessels

Marine-grade ropes must resist saltwater corrosion. Most wire rope manufacturers in India offer customized options specifically for marine applications, often using stainless steel or galvanized coatings.

5. Elevators and Lifts

Elevators rely on wire ropes for:

Suspension Systems

Counterweight Support

Safety and Braking Mechanisms

The ropes must provide smooth operation with minimal elongation. Advanced wire rope making techniques ensure elevator ropes meet safety and durability standards.

6. Cranes and Hoists

Whether it’s a mobile crane, gantry crane, or industrial hoist, wire ropes are used for:

Load Lifting

Boom Extensions

Winch Systems

For this, high fatigue resistance and flexibility are essential. A certified wire rope company in India will ensure the ropes are pre-stretched and tested for performance.

7. Agriculture and Forestry

Wire ropes in these fields are used for:

Winching Logs

Suspending Tools or Machinery

Fencing and Structural Supports

These ropes need to be lightweight yet strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install, making galvanized and PVC-coated options popular.

8. Adventure Sports and Safety Systems

Wire ropes are used in:

Ziplining and Rappelling

Bridge Walks and Canopy Tours

Safety Harness Anchors

Safety is critical, so wire rope manufacturers India adhere to international safety norms. These ropes often undergo magnetic flaw detection and ultrasonic testing.

9. Railways and Transport

Wire ropes find their place in:

Cable Cars and Trams

12. Renewable Energy (Wind & Solar)

In the green energy sectors, wire ropes are utilized for:

Wind Turbine Installation

Solar Panel Mounting

Maintenance Equipment Lifts

With high exposure to environmental conditions, these ropes are made to withstand UV radiation and corrosion.

Why Choosing the Right Wire Rope Company Matters

Not all wire ropes are made the same. Choosing a professional and certified wire rope company in India ensures you receive:

High-quality, tested products

Industry-specific engineering

On-time delivery and support

Compliance with global safety standards

With years of expertise in wire rope making, the top wire rope manufacturers in India provide custom solutions across sectors, optimizing performance and safety.

Conclusion

Wire ropes are far more than simple lifting tools—they’re the backbone of countless industries. From mining to marine, from construction to aerospace, they support and secure vital operations around the world. As industries evolve, so does the technology behind wire rope manufacturing, with a clear focus on durability, flexibility, and safety.

When looking for reliable solutions, partnering with a reputed wire rope company in India makes all the difference. Whether you need heavy-duty ropes for cranes or corrosion-resistant solutions for offshore rigs, trusted wire rope manufacturers India will deliver the quality and performance you can count on.
