Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a rubber-steel hybrid cord which makes it possible to sufficiently reduce the proportion of an adhesion promoter or sulfur while maintaining good adhesiveness, and to provide a pneumatic radial tire using the same as a reinforcement layer.To achieve this object, a rubber-steel hybrid cord of the present invention is characteristically formed by twisting a plurality of sheath filaments or sheath strands around a core in which a periphery of and space surrounded by one or a plurality of core filaments or a core strand are coated or filled with a filler rubber (A) containing an adhesion promoter, thereby forming a multilayer-twist steel cord or a multi-twist steel cord, and coating an outer surface of the multilayer-twist steel cord or the multi-twist steel cord with a coating rubber (C). Further, an amount of an adhesion promoter contained in the coating rubber (C) is equal to or more than an amount of the adhesion promoter contained in the filler rubber (A).
Abstract:
A tire having a radial carcass reinforcement, comprised of at least one layer of metal reinforcing elements, said tire comprising a crown reinforcement, which is itself covered radially with a tread, said tread being joined to two beads via two sidewalls. The metal reinforcing elements of at least one layer of the carcass reinforcement are non-hooped cords having, in the permeability test, a flow rate of less than 20 cm3/min and at least one layer of the carcass reinforcement being provided on at least one side with at least one layer of textile threads of straight orientation and said textile threads forming an angle with the direction of the metal reinforcing elements of said at least one carcass reinforcement layer of more than 10°.
Abstract:
Method of manufacturing a metal cable having two layers (Ci, Ce) of construction M+N, comprising an inner layer (Ci) having M wires of diameter d1 wound together in a helix at a pitch p1, M varying from 2 to 4, and an outer layer (Ce) of N wires of diameter d2, wound together in a helix at a pitch p2 around the inner layer (Ci), the method comprising the following steps performed in line: a step of assembling the M core wires by twisting to form the inner layer (Ci) at a point of assembling; downstream of the point of assembling of the M core wires, a step of sheathing the inner layer (Ci) with a diene rubber composition called “filling rubber”, in the raw state; a step of assembling the N wires of the outer layer (Ce) by twisting around the inner layer (Ci) thus sheathed; and a step of twist balancing. Also disclosed is a device for implementing such a method.
Abstract:
A steel cord comprises a metal core strand and adjacent layer of steel elements. Between the metal core strand and adjacent layer of steel elements, a polymer layer with a minimum thickness of more than 0.02 mm is provided. These steel cords are to be used to reinforce off-the-road tires or conveyor belts.
Abstract:
A reinforcement for a building works structure comprising an assembly of solid wires. The wires are mutually parallel to form a bundle and the reinforcement comprises a sheath made of plastic material enclosing the bundle and providing it with cohesion.
Abstract:
A wire rope is disclosed, which has at most 18 outer strands and an independent wire rope core, with the strands of the core being laid in the opposite direction to the outer strands of the rope, and a nylon jacket is provided between the core and the outer strands of the wire rope.
Abstract:
A wire rope with a standard-size independent wire rope core and a standard outer diameter, the core being filled with a heavy viscous lubricant and impregnated with a thermoplastic material to entrap the lubricant in the core.
