Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a steel cord adapted for the reinforcement of elastomer products.
  • the steel cord comprises a core filament with a core filament diameter and layer filaments twisted around the core filament in the same direction and with the same step.
  • a steel cord adapted for the reinforcement of elastomer products.
  • the steel cord comprises a core filament with a core filament diameter d c and 3N layer filaments twisted around said core filament in the same direction and with the same step. N ranges from four to five.
  • the 3N layer filaments are arranged in an intermediate layer of N intermediate layer filaments and in an outer layer of 2N outer layer filaments.
  • the layer filaments in the intermediate layer have an intermediate layer diameter d i .
  • the core filament diameter d c is smaller than the intermediate layer diameter d i .
  • This invention cord is a compact cord.
  • the cord has a good fretting behavior, a high breaking load per unit of cross-section and a small diameter.
  • the cord has a symmetric stable construction.
  • the steel cord is adapted for the reinforcement of elastomer products, which means that it has a steel composition along the following lines : a minimum carbon content of 0.60 % (e.g.
  • the steel filaments are generally covered with a coating layer to increase the resistance against corrosion or to enhance the adhesion with rubber. This coating may be a chemical primer or may be a metallic coating.
  • Corrosion resistant coatings are zinc or a zinc aluminum alloy.
  • Adhesion coatings are brass in the case of rubber, or a so-called ternary brass such as copper-zinc-nickel (e.g. 64% / 35.5% / 0.5%) and copper-zinc-cobalt (e.g. 64% / 35.7% / 0.3%), or a copper-free adhesion layer such as zinc-cobalt or zinc-nickel.
  • the final diameters of the steel filaments range from 0.05 mm to 0.60 mm. In case of reinforcement of carcass plies of tires, the filament diameters preferably range from 0.05 mm to 0.35 mm.
  • N is preferably equal to five, which means that the steel cord comprises sixteen filaments. Five is preferred to four since five filaments in the intermediate layer fill more the intermediate layer in a stable way.
  • the core filament diameter d c is greater than the diameter of a circle tangent to each of the cross-sections of the intermediate layer filaments in the hollow space that remains free when their cross-sections have the highest packing density.
  • all 3N layer filaments i.e. all N intermediate layer filaments and all 2N outer layer filaments have a same intermediate layer filament diameter d i .
  • This first preferable embodiment may be summarized by following formula : 1 xd c
  • the outer layer of 2N filaments has N filaments facing two intermediate layer filaments with a diameter equal to the intermediate layer diameter d i and has N filaments facing only one intermediate layer filament with a diameter smaller than the intermediate layer diameter d i .
  • This second embodiment has the advantage of a so-called Warrington construction with a round cross-section.
  • FIGURE 1 shows a cross-section of a first embodiment of a steel cord 10.
  • the steel cord comprises a core filament 12 with a core filament diameter d c .
  • Five intermediate layer filaments 14 form an intermediate layer around core filament 12.
  • the intermediate layer filaments have a diameter d i .
  • Ten outer layer filaments 16 form an outer layer around the intermediate layer.
  • the outer layer filaments 16 also have the same intermediate layer filament diameter d i . All intermediate layer filaments 14 and all outer layer filaments 16 are twisted in the same twisting direction and with the same twisting step so that a compact configuration is formed.
  • the cross-section has the typical form of a pentagon.
  • the core filament diameter d c is smaller than the intermediate layer filament diameter d i .
  • the core filament diameter d c is greater than the diameter of a circle 15 tangent to each of the cross-sections of the intermediate layer filaments 16 in the hollow space that remains free when their cross-sections have the highest packing density.
  • a suitable example of a cord according to the first embodiment of the invention is : 1x0.14
  • Other examples are :
  • FIGURE 3 shows a cross-section of a second embodiment of the steel cord 20 according to the invention.
  • the steel cord 20 comprises a core filament 22.
  • Five intermediate layer filaments 24 with an intermediate layer filament d i have been twisted around the core filament 22.
  • An outer layer of outer layer filaments 26, 28 is formed around the intermediate layer.
  • those five outer layer filaments 26 facing two intermediate layer filaments 24 have a diameter equal to said intermediate layer diameter d i .
  • Five outer layer filaments 28 facing only one intermediate layer filament 24 have a diameter smaller than the intermediate layer diameter d i .
  • the cross-section has a round form.
  • the steel cord can be carried out in various tensile versions, ranging from a normal tensile strength to an ultra high tensile strength.
  • the steel cords according to the invention can be manufactured by means of a tubular twisting machine or preferably by means of a double-twisting device.
  • both embodiments may be provided or not with a wrapping filament wrapped around the other filaments.
  • the non wrapped version is preferred.
  • non sleeving of the steel cord may be obtained by suitably preforming the outer layer steel filaments so that the outer layer filaments exert a force which is directed radially inward. Such a preforming is disclosed in EP-B1-0 627 520.
  • Table 1 hereunder summarizes some properties measured on steel cords according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
  • Table 1 0.14
  • Tensile strength MPa 3261 3404 E-modulus MPa 189986 190397 Total elongation at fracture % 2,44 2,36
  • Tensile test embedded Breaking load N 1346,7 1415,7 Tensile strength MPa 3547 3686 E-modulus MPa 198183 197668 Total elongation at fracture % 2,1 2,16
  • PLE or part load elongation expresses the elongation at very small loads below 50 Newton.
