PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article, by preventing the preceding breakage of filaments and improving the strength at break of the steel cord as a whole, and to provide a pneumatic tire using the same. SOLUTION: This double-twisted structure steel cord is provided by twisting a core filament 11 with at least one layer sheath filaments 21 as a layer-twisted structure to form one strand, further twisting in a plurality of strands as the layer-twisted structure consisting of a core strand 1 and at least one layer of sheath strands 2 to make one steel cord. The tensile strength of the filament for forming the strand is made as "the tensile strength of the filament in a layer close to the center of the strand"≥"the tensile strength of the filament in a layer far from the center of the filament", and the mean tensile strength of the strand for forming the steel cord is made as "the mean tensile strength of the layer close to the center of the steel cord"

Abstract:
The method for producing a two-layer multi-strand metal cable (10) involves: - winding, in a helix, N wires constituting an outer layer of a strand (Tl, TE) around 2 wires constituting an inner layer of the strand (Tl, TE) in such a way as to form the strand (Tl, TE); - winding, in a helix, L>1 previously formed outer strands (TE) constituting an unsaturated outer layer (C2) of the cable (10) around K>1 previously formed inner strands (Tl) constituting an inner layer (C1) of the cable (10), - overtwisting the wound cable (Tl, TE); - carrying out a step of balancing the overtwisted cable (10) in such a way as to obtain zero residual torque in the cable (10), and - carrying out a step of untwisting the balanced overtwisted cable (10).
Abstract:
A wire rope for a heavy-load crane, such as a ladle crane is provided that is not only almost rotation-resistant but is also unlikely to be broken by wear and fatigue of wires. The rotation-resisting wire rope (1) has a plurality of side strands (3). In side each strand (3), wires (5) are laid in the same direction as the lay of core strand wires (4), around the periphery of a core strand (2). The side strands (3) are laid in a direction opposite to the lay of the core strand wires (4) so as to form the wire rope (1). The side strands (3) preferably have a smaller pitch multiple than a pitch multiple of the wire rope (1). The ratio between a diameter (d2) of the side strands (3) and a diameter (d1) of the core strand (2) is preferably about 1.3 to about 1.8. The pitch multiple of strands (3) is preferably about 5 to about 8 and the pitch multiple of the wire rope (1) is preferably about 8 to about 10. Both the core strand (2) and the side strands (3) preferably have shaped wires (4,5), having a flattened surface, at an outermost ply.
Abstract:
A steel cord (10) has a diameter D and comprises a core strand (12) and up to nine peripheral strands (14) surrounding the core strand. The core strand (12) has a diameter D1 and the peripheral strands (14) have a diameter D2. The ratio core strand diameter to peripheral strand diameter D1/D2 is greater than a predetermined value in order to enable rubber penetration. Each strand comprises a centre of one or more centre filaments (16,22) and two or more layers of filaments (18,20,24,26) surrounding the centre. The twist angle of a radially outer layer is smaller than the twist angle of a radially inner layer of the same strand. A first free space (28) ranging from 0.0015xD to 0.0075xD is provided in at least the core strand (12) between each pair of filaments (18) of the radially most inner layer.
