More information is needed really as the answer depends hugely on the application.
For example, yes you could tow a friends broken down car with a steel cable of equal strength to the nylon tow rope.
....but not, you could not replace a nylon rope used to moor a boat with (untreated) steel cable as it wuold rust.
Nylon rope also has some "give" in it, allowing it to absorb some shock as tension is taken, it is also an excellent insulator. Steel has almost no give at all and is a fairly good conductor (though not brilliant when efficient conduction is required).
So it depends massively on your application - all answers from "absolutely not" to "it would be even better" can appy.

Nylon wire is stronger than steel wire?
Nylon.
In comparing a 16 and 20 gauge steel casket the 16 gauge casket would be?
The strength, durability, and longevity of steel caskets depends first of all on the quality and thickness of the metal sheets used. The United States Standard Gauge for the thickness of metal sheets is based on the number of sheets required to total one inch. The gauge number (ga) informs about the thickness of the steel sheets in such a way that the lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel. Low cost carbon steel caskets are usually made of 20-gauge steel. (20 sheets of 20ga steel have a thickness of one inch.) Twenty gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 1/20" or 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobile body panels. More expensive steel Caskets are made from 18- and 16-gauge steel. 16 ga steel sheets have a thickness of 1/16" or 1,3 mm. 16 ga steel is twice as heavy as 20 ga steel, 140% stronger and has a 140% longer life than 20ga.
How do you calculate mild steel thickness from stain steel thickness?
By thick control.
Which is stronger 1010 carbon steel or 1015 carbon steel?
1015 is stronger
What metal is stronger stainless steel or metal?
Stainless steel or WHICH metal? BTW, there are numerous grades of stainless steel. Some are stronger than others.
Is steel stronger than nylon?
Steel is stronger than nylon
Nylon wire is stronger than steel wire?
Nylon.
The materials to make a parachute?
You will need: Ripstop nylon fabric for the wing Nylon thread of various weights for sewing Polyester cord for the lines Steel hardware for the links Nylon webbing for the harness and risers
How has the steel products industry changed?
Computer controlled operations within the steel processing industry have improved thickness tolerances, resulting in stronger, yet thinner steel.
Does a 20 gauge casket last as long as a 18 gauge casket in a cyrpt?
Probably not, but it depends on the circumstances. Generally speaking, one can say that twenty-gauge steel sheets (meaning that 20 sheets of 20ga steel have a thickness of one inch) have a thickness of 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobiles.18 ga steel sheets, on the other hand, have a thickness of 1 mm. 18 ga steel is 33% heavier, 60% stronger and has a 60% longer life than 20ga steel.
Which is stronger steel or brass?
Steel is stronger.
Can you put steel strings on a nylon guitar?
No, it is not recommended to put steel strings on a nylon guitar as it can damage the instrument due to the higher tension of steel strings.
Can I put nylon strings on my steel string guitar?
No, it is not recommended to put nylon strings on a steel string guitar as the tension and construction of the guitar may not be suitable for nylon strings.
Are all-season blackwall tires steel belted?
Steel and/or nylon
Can you put steel strings on a nylon string guitar?
No, it is not recommended to put steel strings on a nylon string guitar as it can damage the instrument. Nylon string guitars are designed to handle the lower tension of nylon strings, while steel strings require a higher tension that can potentially warp the neck or damage the bridge of a nylon string guitar.
The thickness of one sheet of steel in a steel casket is how many inches?
Low cost carbon steel caskets are usually made of 20-gauge steel. This means that 20 sheets of 20 ga steel have a thickness of one inch. Twenty-gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobile body panels. Standard steel caskets use 18 ga steel sheets which have a thickness of 1 mm. Upper end steel caskets use 16 ga steel sheets with a thickness of 1,3 mm. 16 sheets of 16 ga steel have a thickness of one inch.
