Abstract:
Disclosed is a motor vehicle tire reinforced by at least one carbon steel strip that has a very low carbon content and high resistance in the cold-worked state, characterized by the following: - the carbon steel comprises (in percent by weight) 0.05% to 0.4% carbon, 0.5% to 4% manganese, 0.1% to 2.5% silicon, optionally (i) less than 1.5% aluminum, (ii) less than 0.5% of each of the metals boron, chromium, cobalt, copper, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zirconium, et (iii) less than 0.05% of each of the elements phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen or rare earth metal, the remainder consisting of iron and inevitable impurities resulting from the process; - the microstructure of the cold-worked carbon steel is primarily martensitic or ferritic-martensitic; - the resistance Rm of the strip is greater than 1200 MPa, and its elongation at break At ranges from 1% to 5%.
Abstract:
A hybrid rope constructed of a plurality of strands, wherein each strand is constructed of a fiber center, a jacket surrounding the fiber center, and a plurality of wires surrounding the jacket. The fiber center can be constructed of one or more high-strength synthetic fibers or yarns. The jacket can be constructed of polypropylene, thermoplastic polyurethane, high-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, nylon or other similar materials. The jacket can have a braided or woven design and adds a protective layer between the fiber center and the wires. The wires can be constructed of high-strength steel wires, galvanized steel or stainless steel. The fibers or yarns that make of the fiber center are twisted to lay right and then covered with the jacket. The wires then surround the jacket and are twisted to lay to the left. This creates a torque-balanced condition of the hybrid rope.
Abstract:
A flat steel wire has a rectangular shape with rounded corners when a cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction is viewed. In the flat steel wire: a short side of the cross section is 2 mm to 7 mm; a long side of the cross section is longer than 8 mm to 56 mm; a ratio of the long side to the short side is more than 4 to 8; a tensile strength is 1900 MPa or more; and a twisting value is 12 times or more.
Abstract:
The invention provides a high-strength rope and a preparation method thereof The method at least comprises the following step: preparing a body of the high-strength rope from an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene thin film or strip. The high-strength rope at least comprises the body prepared from the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene thin film or strip. The invention replaces traditional ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers with the UHMW-PE thin film or strip to prepare the rope, and the obtained rope has one or more of the advantages of good structural integrity, simple preparation process, high production efficiency, high strength, high strength utilization ratio, light weight, good flexibility, environmental friendliness and the like.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a tire-reinforcing steel cord for a radial tire. The tire-reinforcing steel cord has a double layer structure including a first-layer core (1) and a second-layer core (2) provided on the surface of the first-layer core (1). The first-layer core (1) has an elliptical or rectangular cross section. The tire-reinforcing steel cord can improve processability, fatigue characteristics, and rolling resistance performance of a tire, resulting in improved fuel efficiency. A radial tire using the tire-reinforcing steel cord is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A process for producing a high strength rope comprising the step of i) providing a uniaxially oriented tape (10) comprising ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, the tape (10) having a tensile strength of at least 0.9 GPa, and ii) simultaneously twisting and fibrillating the tape (10) into a twisted strand of fibrillated tape with a coherent network of filaments and fibrils. A rope obtainable by the process and products comprising the rope are also disclosed.
