Provided is a steel cord for reinforcing rubber articles which has both rubber penetration and productivity and which allows to reduce the weight of a tire without compromising the strength of the tire when applied to a tire, and a pneumatic tire using the same.The steel cord for reinforcing rubber articles of the present invention is a steel cord for reinforcing rubber articles comprising a core formed by arranging two core filaments in parallel without twisting the filaments together, and six sheath filaments twisted around the core. Letting the diameter of the core filament dc (mm), the diameter of the sheath filament ds (mm) and sheath filament twist pitch p (mm), an average sheath filament interval D represented by the following Formula (I): D=[L−6ds{1+(L/p)2}1/2]/6 (I), (where L=(π+2)dc+πds) is from 25 to 80 μm.

A steel cord (10) adapted for the reinforcement of rubber products, the steel cord (10) comprises a core (12) and three or more outer strands (14) twisted around the core (12) in a cord twisting direction. The outer strands (14) comprise outer filaments (16) twisted in a strand twisting direction which is the same as the cord twisting direction. The outer strands (14) have a wavy form which makes spaces between the core (12) and the outer strands. The steel cord (10) has improvements on elongation at break and impact resistance capacity.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a three-layered metal cable of construction L+M+N usable as a reinforcing element for a tire carcass reinforcement, comprising an inner layer C1 having L wires of diameter d1 with L being from 1 to 4, surrounded by an intermediate layer C2 of M wires of diameter d2 wound together in a helix at a pitch p2 with M being from 3 to 12, said layer C2 being surrounded by an outer layer C3 of N wires of diameter d3 wound together in a helix at a pitch p3 with N being from 8 to 20, said cable being characterised in that a sheath formed of a cross-linkable or cross-linked rubber composition based on at least one diene elastomer covers at least said layer C2. The invention furthermore relates to the articles or semi-finished products made of plastics material and/or rubber which are reinforced by such a multi-layer cable, in particular to tires used in industrial vehicles, more particularly heavy-vehicle tires and their carcass reinforcement plies.

A steel cord (10) adapted for the reinforcement of elastomers comprises: a core steel filament (12) with a core steel filament diameter dc and coated with a polymer (14); six intermediate steel filaments (16) with an intermediate steel filament diameter di smaller than or equal to the core steel filament diameter dc; these intermediate steel filaments (16) are twisted around the core steel filament (12); ten or eleven outer steel filaments (18) with an outer steel filament diameter do smaller than or equal to the intermediate steel filament diameter dl; these outer steel filaments (18) are twisted around the intermediate steel filaments (16), the outer steel filaments (18) are preformed in order to allow rubber penetration inside the core (10). The core steel filament (12), the intermediate steel filaments (16) and the outer steel filaments (18) all have a tensile strength at least 2600 MPa. The cord (10) has an outer diameter D according to following formula: D≦dc+2×di+2×do+0.1 wherein all diameters are expressed in millimeter (mm).
摘要:
A tire cord having core filaments (10) performed into a helical configuration while maintaining the core filaments (10) in a parallel, side-by-side relationship. The core filaments (10) are not twisted or stranded together. High tensile strength sheath filaments (11) are also performed into a flattened helical configuration so that the sheath filaments (11) can be wrapped around the side-by-side core filaments such that the sheath filaments (11) do not put such tension on the core filaments (10) as to cause the core filaments (10) to bunch. The core filaments (10) are maintained in a flat side-by-side configuration so that no voids are formed and rubber can penetrate into the tire cord. The core filaments (10) may number from three to six and the sheath filaments (11) from one to seven. The cross-section of the tire cord is flattened and confined within an oval-shaped outer bound (21), the oval outer bound (21) being characterized by a major axis and a minor axis. It is desirable that the minor axis be no greater than 60% of the major axis to create the appropriate difference in the bending modulus of the tire cord in the horizontal versus the vertical direction.
