Abstract:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf temperaturbeständiges, elastisches Strangelement (10), insbesondere in Form eines Profilbandes(11), einer Kordel, einer Litze oder einer Rundschnur. Das Strangelement (10) besitzt für erhöhte Anforderungen im Bereich Automotive insbesondere eine Dauerelastizität in einem weiten Temperaturbereich von -40°C bis 120°C. Ein solches Strangelement (10) umfasst mindestens einen Mantel (20), der eine in Längsrichtung des Strangelements (10) verlaufende strangförmige Seele (30) aus Silikonmaterial umgibt, wobei vorzugsweise ein oder mehrere textile Lagen den Mantel (20) bilden und die einzelnen Lagen aus einem Geflecht, einem Gewebe (22) oder einem Gewirk bestehen und diese Lagen die Seele (30) in Längsrichtung vollständig umgeben (Fig.1a).
Abstract:
The present invention aims to provide a polypropylene fiber (PP fiber) excellent in strength, heat resistance, and water-absorption properties, a method of producing the same, and a hydraulic composition, a rope, a sheet-shaped fiber structure, and a composite material with an organic polymer each using the PP fiber. The present invention provides: a PP fiber having a fiber strength of 7 cN/dtex or more and having either or both of (i) DSC properties such that the endothermic peak shape by DSC is a single shape having a half width of 10°C or lower and the melt enthalpy change (ΔH) is 125 J/ g and (ii) irregular properties such that the single fiber fineness is 0.1 to 3 dtex and irregularities are formed on the surface, the irregularities having an average interval of 6.5 to 20 µm and an average height of 0.35 to 1 µm as a result of alternate presence of a protruded portion having a large diameter and a non-protruded portion having a small diameter along its fiber axis; a method of producing the PP fiber by pre-drawing an undrawn PP fiber having an IPF of 94% or more at 120 to 150°C at a drawing magnification of 3 to 10 times, and then post-drawing the resultant at 170 to 190°C and a drawing magnification of 1.2 to 3.0 times under the conditions of a deformation rate of 1.5 to 15 times/min and a draw tension of 1. 0 to 2.5 cN/dtex; and a hydraulic composition, a rope, a sheet-shaped fiber structure, and a composite material with an organic polymer each using the PP fiber.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a bead wire which has the following chemical composition: Mn: 5 to 35 at%; and Al: 5 to 20 at%, with the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities, and has an austenite single-phase structure as the steel texture. In the bead wire, the reduction in weight and the improvement in drawability can be achieved without reducing strength.
Abstract:
An annular metal cord and an endless metal belt are provided which have superior breaking strength and which are easy to be produced. The annular metal cord includes an annular core portion 3 and an outer layer portion 4. The annular core portion 3 is formed by connecting together both ends of a first strand material 1 which is made up of six twisted first metal filaments 5. The outer layer portion 4 is formed by winding spirally a second strand material 2 which is made up of six twisted second metal filaments 6 around the annular core portion 3. The second strand material 2 is wound at a predetermined winding angle relative to a center axis of the annular core portion 3, and a winding initiating end portion and a winding terminating end portion thereof are connected together. Since it is not that six second strand materials 2 are not wound but that the second strand material 2 is wound six rounds, there only has to be the single second strand material 2, and there is only one connecting portion. As a result, the breaking strength of the annular metal cord can be made large, and the production thereof can be facilitated.
Abstract:
Wholly aromatic synthetic fibers spun from liquid-crystalline polymer solutions, having a crystal size (110 plane) of not greater than 50 Å and an ionic substance content of no more than 1.0 wt% are disclosed. Said fibers having a low ionic substance content while retaining the inherent high heat resistance and high Young's modulus, and are useful particularly for electrical and electronic parts.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a stainless steel filament made of a two-phase stainless steel having two-phase of austenite and ferrite, which is used as a PC tension material being a standing wire and as a wire rope being a running wire. The stainless steel filament contains 0.01-0.10 wt% of C, 0.1-1.0 wt% of Si, 0.30-1.50% of Mn, 0.010-0.040 wt% of P, 0.001-0.030 wt% of S, 18.0-30.0 wt% of Cr, 3.0-8.0 wt% of Ni, 0.1-3.0 wt% of Mo, and 0.10-0.45 wt% of N, the balance being essentially Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein the volume ratio of the ferrite amount to the sum of the austenite amount and the ferrite amount is specified to be in the range from 20.0 to 80.0%. Upon drawing, the drawing draft is in the range from 40 to 97%, the average aspect ratio (M R value) is in the range from 4 to 20, and the aging temperature is in the range from 150 to 750 °C.
