Abstract:
A reinforcement cord (10), configured to be used for example in a tyre (100) for vehicle wheels, comprises at least two steel wires (1) having a carbon content lower than or equal to about 0.40 % and chrome content lower than or equal to about 2% by weight. Such steel wires (1) are twisted together with a winding pitch (P) greater than or equal to about 14 mm. The use of steel having low carbon content allows the costs to be advantageously kept down without negatively impacting on the rigidity of the reinforcement cord. The possibility of using winding pitches of at least about 14 mm makes it possible to increase both the rigidity of the reinforcement cord and the productivity in the winding step, with consequent further reduction of the production costs, and without there being problems of fraying.

cordonel de metal, processo para fabricar um arame de metal, e, aparelho para fabricar um cordonel de metal. e descrito um cordonel de metal que compreende pelo menos um arame de metal elementar pré-formado, o dito cordonel de metal tendo: um alongamento na ruptura, medido no cordonel descoberto, maior ou igual a 3 %, preferivelmente de 4 % a 6 %; um alongamento na ruptura, medido no cordonel emborrachado ou vulcanizado, que difere em uma quantidade não superior ou igual a 15 %, preferivelmente de 2 % a 10 %, em relação ao alongamento na ruptura medido no cordonel descoberto; um alongamento com carga parcial (ple), medido no cordonel descoberto, maior ou igual a 0,4 %, preferivelmente de 0,5 % a 1,5 %, um alongamento com carga parcial (ple), medido no cordonel emborrachado e vulcanizado, que difere em uma quantidade não maior ou igual a 15 %, preferivelmente de 0,5 % a 10 %, em relação ao alongamento com carga parcial (ple) medido no cordonel descoberto.
Abstract:
A metal cord includes at least one preformed elementary metal wire. The metal cord has an elongation at break, measured on the bare cord, higher than or equal to 3%, preferably 4% to 6%; an elongation at break, measured on the rubberized and vulcanized cord, which differs in an amount not higher than or equal to 15%, preferably 2% to 10% with respect to the elongation at break measured on the bare cord; a part load elongation, measured on the bare cord, higher than or equal to 0.4%, preferably 0.5% to 1.5%; a part load elongation, measured on the rubberized and vulcanized cord, which differs in an amount not higher than or equal to 15%, preferably 0.5% to 10%, with respect to the part load elongation measured on the bare cord.
