Abstract:
A tire having a radial carcass reinforcement, including at least one layer of reinforcing elements, said tire comprising a crown reinforcement, which is itself covered radially with a tread, said tread being joined to two beads via two sidewalls. The reinforcing elements of at least one layer of the carcass reinforcement are hybrid cords having at least two layers. At least one strand of the core of each of said hybrid cords includes textile multifilament yarns. The strands of the intermediate and/or outer layers are metallic, and at least one inner layer is sheathed with a layer including a polymeric composition such as a crosslinkable or crosslinked rubber composition.
Abstract:
A steel cord having a 1×2 construction formed by twisting two wire strands together is used as a reinforcing layer of a pneumatic tire. The steel cord has a carbon content of from 0.60 to 0.75%, a strength in the tire of from 2,900 to 3,500 MPa, and a twisting angle of from 1.5 to 3.0°. Therefore, productivity can be enhanced while fatigue resistance of the steel cord used in the reinforcing layer is maintained. Additionally, fatigue resistance of the steel cord is further enhanced due to the average value of the forming factor of the steel cord of this tire being set to from 95 to 105% and the standard deviation σ being set to from 5 to 20%. As a result, tire durability can be enhanced.
Abstract:
A steel cord for reinforcing rubber article having a 1×n structure composed of a plurality of steel filaments stranded in the same direction at the same stranding pitch, the number of the steel filaments being 6 to 12 and the diameter of the steel filaments being 0.08 to 0.21 mm. In the pneumatic radial tire having a carcass, as a framework, extending toroidally between a pair of bead parts, with a crown part of the carcass being reinforced with a belt layer, the above-described steel cord for reinforcing rubber article is applied to a cord constituting the belt layer.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire for a passenger car includes a belt layer and a belt cover layer formed by winding a steel cord member in the tire circumference direction on the outer peripheral side of the belt layer. The steel cord member has a structure in which element wires made of steel and having a diameter smaller than 0.18 mm are twisted together to form each strand and the strands are twisted together in the same direction as the direction of twisting of the element wires. The twist pitch on each of the strands is smaller than the twist pitch on the steel cord member, the twist pitch on the strand is 1.0 mm to 2.1 mm, and the twist pitch on the steel cord member is 2.0 mm to 5.25 mm.
Abstract:
A steel cord comprises more than one steel filament (10). At least some of the steel filaments have a zinc iron alloy layer (14) partially covered with a zinc cover (16). The zinc cover is only present in valleys formed in the zinc-iron alloy layer. The processability and adhesion level in rubber products of the steel cord are increased.

Abstract:
Provided by the present invention is a technique which can, in a pneumatic radial tire using corrugated steel cords in the circumferential bent, improve the durability of the corrugated steel cords in order to prevent fatigue rupture thereof caused by an increase in energy input.The present invention is a pneumatic radial tire which has a carcass 1 as the skeleton extending in a toroidal shape between a pair of bead portions on either side of the tire, as well as a belt layer 2 and a tread layer 5 successively arranged thereonto at the outer part in the tire radial direction. The belt layer 2 comprises at least one layer of circumferential belt 3 which comprises a plurality of corrugated or zigzag-shaped steel cords extending along the tire circumferential direction, and when the steel cords are removed from the circumferential belt 3, the bending radius of curvature (R) of the steel cords is within the range from not less than 18 mm to not more than 125 mm.
