Abstract:
A cord obtained by twisting a plurality of strands each composed of a plurality of filaments is provided. A circumferential surface of the filament is coated with unvulcanized rubber to improve rubber intrusion, thereby improving corrosion resistance and suppressing twisting-loss.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composite cord (10) for reinforcement of elastomers comprising a core (12) of a high polymer material, a first layer of steel filaments (14) twisted around said core and a second layer of steel filaments (16) twisted around said first layer. The polymer material is present in a sufficient volume to create gaps between adjacent filaments of the first layer and possibly also between the filaments of the second layer. The composite cord is characterized by a decreased fretting of the steel filaments.
Abstract:
A steel cord which is suitable for reinforcing a rubber product and has excellent fatigue resistance. The steel cord has a layer-twisted structure formed by steel filaments respectively having a diameter of 0.15 mm to 0.25 mm. A core of the steel cord is formed by 1 to 4 steel filaments. A least 6 steel filaments are wound around the steel filaments of the core to form at least one layer. When the steel cord is bent from a straight state to a state in which a radius of curvature thereof is d/(17.times.10.sup.-3) wherein d is a diameter in millimeters of each steel filament in an outermost layer of the steel cord, a maximum amount of movement of each steel filament in the outermost layer in a cross-section of the steel cord is less than or equal to (-0.5454d+0.1454).times.10.sup.3 um. The steel cord preferably has a two-layer-twisted structure or a three-layer-twisted structure, and has an arrangement in which the diameters of the steel filaments gradually decrease from the core to the outermost layer.
Abstract:
A steel cord effective for reinforcing a super-large off-road tire wherein strands made by simultaneously twisting together 3 to 6 steel wires in the same twisting direction with the same pitch length are used and the steel cord is made by twisting together 3 to 6 such strands in the same direction as the twisting direction of the strands and with the same pitch length. Each of the steel wires constituting the strands continuously has a small wavy pattern of a pitch length smaller than the lay length of the strands and therefore each of the strands has a compound pattern comprising a wavy pattern formed by the twisting and said small wavy pattern and in a gap is formed between steel wires each of the strands by the small wavy pattern. The lay length P.sub.1 of the steel cord is 8 to 15 times the steel cord diameter D and the elongation on breakage by tension of the steel cord is over 5%.
Abstract:
A steel cord for the reinforcement of the carcass of a pneumatic radial tire comprises a central basic layer comprised of 1 to 4 steel filaments, at least one coaxial layer arranged around the central basic layer and comprised of many steel filaments in which these filaments are twisted in the same twisting direction at the same twisting pitch, and a wrap filament spirally wound around the coaxial layer in the same twisting direction.
Abstract:
A steel cord for the reinforcement of rubber articles is disclosed, which comprises a central base structure composed of 1 to 4 steel filaments, and at least one coaxial layer composed of plural steel filaments arranged around the central base structure so as to adjoin them to each other, these steel filaments being twisted in the same direction at the same pitch. In the steel cord of this type, the steel filaments constituting the central base structure have the same diameter (dc), while at least one steel filament of the coaxial layer has a diameter (dso) smaller than the diameter (dc) of the steel filament in the central base structure.

Abstract:
A composite glass fiber cable is disclosed having a negative linear coefficient of thermal expansion which is controllable by variation of the twist of helically plied glass roving to substantially zero change in length over a wide variation in environmental temperatures under varying load conditions.
Abstract:
Method of manufacturing a multi-layer metal cord having a plurality of concentric layers of wires, comprising one or more inner layer(s) and an outer layer, of the type “rubberized in situ. The method includes the following steps: at least one step of sheathing at least one inner layer with the rubber or the rubber composition by passing through at least one extrusion head; and an assembling step in which the wires of the outer layer are assembled around the inner layer adjacent to it, in order to form the multi-layer cord thus rubberized from the inside. The rubber is an unsaturated thermoplastic elastomer extruded in the molten state, preferably a thermoplastic elastomer of the thermoplastic stirene (TPS) elastomer type such as an SBS, SBBS, SIS or SBIS block copolymer for example.
