Abstract:
The invention relates to a steel cord (30) comprising cylindrical layers, said cord including: an inner layer (C1) formed by M wires, an intermediate layer (C2) formed by N wires helically wound around the inner layer (C1), and an outer layer (C3) formed by P wires helically wound around the intermediate layer (C2), in which the inter-wire distance D2 of the wires of the intermediate layer (C2) is greater than or equal to 25 µm and the inter-wire distance D3 of the wires of the outer layer (C3) is greater than or equal to 25 µm.
Abstract:
Le câble (30) métallique à couches cylindriques comprend : - une couche interne (C1) constituée de 3 fils, - une couche intermédiaire (C2) constituée de 9 fils enroulés en hélice autour de la couche interne (C1), - une couche externe (C3) constituée de 14 fils enroulés en hélice autour de la couche intermédiaire (C2).
Abstract:
A reinforcement rope to be used in production of prestressed reinforced concrete constructions has a variable diameter (D1 and D2) along its length and its sections (2) of large diameter (D2) alternate periodically with the sections (3) of the small diameter (D1), smoothly blending one with the other. The proposed rope is produced either by use of a core with periodically changing diameter or by use, for the outside layers, of a wire with periodically changing diameter.
Abstract:
A steel cord (1) for the reinforcement of elastomers, especially for the reinforcement of breaker layers in a tire, said steel cord comprising two strands of at least two filaments (11, 12) each, said strands being twisted around each other and forming helicoids of a same pitch, the filaments (11) of the first strand having a pitch differing from the pitch of said helicoids and having a value of more than 300 mm, the filaments (12) of the second strand having the same pitch as said helicoids and being twisted in the same sense as said helicoids, all the filaments of both of said strands having a diameter between 0.08 and 0.45 mm, wherein the diameter of the filaments of one of said strands is at least 0.02 mm greater than the diameter of the filaments of the other of said strands. Preferably the diameter of the filaments (12) of said second strand is at least 0.02 mm greater than the diameter of the filaments (11) of said first strand.
Abstract:
A steel cord for rubber reinforcement comprises a first group of core filaments (105) having a number of m and a second group of sheath filaments (110) having a number of n, m is three or four, the core filaments (105) are forming a helix, the core filaments (105) are not twisted together and being substantially parallel or the core filaments (105) have a twist pitch being more than 300mm; the second group and the first group are twisted with each other, and the sheath filaments (110) are forming a flattened helix in the same direction of the helix of the core filaments (105), and the sheath filaments (110) have a cord twist pitch, at any cross-section of the steel cord, at least one interstice between two adjacent core filaments (105) is present. The steel cord has improved abrasion resistance and can contribute to the reduction of the weight of the tire.
Abstract:
A steel cord (38) comprises a first group and a second group. The second group is helically twisted around the first group with a cord twisting step. The first group comprises a first number of first steel filaments (10). The first number ranges between three and eight. The second group comprises a second number of second steel filaments (26). The second number is equal to or greater than the first number. The first filaments (10) having a twisting step greater than 300 mm. At least one of the second filaments (26) is polygonally preformed in order to allow rubber penetration.
Abstract:
A fabric (144) for use as a stab-resistant insert in protective textiles comprises a plurality of steel cords (100). Each of the steel cords (100) comprises a longitudinal axis (102) and two or more steel filaments (104). Each of the steel filaments (104) form a twisting angle alpha with the longitudinal axis (102) of the steel cord (100). The steel cords (100) have two or more of such twisting angles which are substantially different from each other so that any penetrating stab or knife is stopped.
