Abstract

PURPOSE:To remarkably delay the occurrence of abrasion of a tire or stud and to lengthen the life thereof by forming a high wear-resisting material such as diamond or the like set to an ultrathin film less than a specified numerical value on the surface layer of a tire. CONSTITUTION:A high wear-resisting material 2 is formed as a very thin film on the surface layer of a rubber tire 1 including grooves 3. In this case, as a high wear-resisting material 2, diamond, diamond-like carbon or oxide, nitride, carbide and boride of group III-IV metal of the periodic table is used. The film thickness of the high wear-resisting material 2 is set to less than 5mum to form an ultrathin film. Thus, the occurrence of abrasion in a tire or stud can be remarkably delayed to lengthen the life of the tire or the stud.

In addition, conventional tire spikes during freezing and snowy seasons have the problem of generating dust and damaging the road surface, and although spikeless studded tires may be used for this purpose, the studs wear out quickly. That is the problem.

In view of the above, the present invention has been developed with the aim of significantly delaying the occurrence of problematic tire or stud wear and improving the lifespan of tires or studs.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' That is, the present invention provides an ultra-thin film of diamond or diamond-like carbon with a film thickness of 5 μm or less or II of the periodic table.
This rubber tire is characterized by containing oxides, nitrides, carbides, and borides of group I to VI metals in the tire surface layer, thereby significantly reducing the wear of studs or grooves formed on the tire surface.

The present invention will be explained in detail below. FIG. 1.2 is a sectional view illustrating the tire of the present invention. In the figure, (1) is the rubber tire body, (2) is an ultra-thin film of diamond or diamond-like carbon, or oxides, nitrides, carbides, and borides of metals from groups III to VI of the periodic table (after (2) is an ultra-thin film of diamond or diamond-like carbon). (abbreviated as high wear-resistant material), (3) is a groove.

That is, the present invention significantly delays the occurrence of problematic tire or straddled wear by forming an extremely thin coating of a highly wear-resistant material such as diamond on the outermost layer of a rubber tire, thereby improving its lifespan. It is.

Here, if the thickness of this coating is more than several tens of micrometers, it will not be able to follow the elastic deformation of the tire when running on the road, and the coating will peel off early, so it must be an ultra-thin film of less than 5 micrometers. This is necessary.

"Function" An ultra-thin film of highly wear-resistant material (2) is formed as the outermost layer, and this film is also formed in the grooves (3) on the tire surface (see Figure 1).

Therefore, parts that constantly come into contact with the road surface wear out and the coating disappears in the early stages of use, but durability is maintained due to the coating of highly wear-resistant material formed on the walls and bottom of the groove (all black in Figure 2). It is used as a tire for practical use.

Example 1: Amorphous diamond was formed on the surface of a tire with a sulfur layer to a thickness of 0.1 μm by plasma CVD. This coating is translucent and ultra-thin, so it looks no different from conventional products.
The amount of wear on the stud after running for m was approximately half that of the conventional product.

Example 2 Titanium nitride and alumina were coated on the surface of a tire with a film thickness of 0.1 μm and 0.0 μm using the ion-blating method.

The outermost layer, alumina, is transparent, but titanium nitride is yellow, so the prototype tire had a yellow appearance.

When we checked the tires after 20 km of running test, we found that the coating had disappeared on the parts that were in constant contact with the road surface, and only remained on the inner walls and bottom of the grooves. However, when we continued the running test, we found that the tire film had disappeared after 2 km of running. The amount of abrasion was about 70 - smaller than that of conventional products.

Example 3: A test was conducted using the same configuration as in Example 2 except that the coating components were changed from titanium nitride to titanium carbide, and the durability improvement effect was the same.

The effects of the present invention are exhibited by performing the ultra-thin film coating in a temperature range in which the rubber constituting the tire does not deteriorate due to heat.

However, since it is an ultra-thin film, the coating of the present invention formed only on the flat portion has little practical effect. In other words, it is difficult to expect the effect of the surface modification of the present invention on the surface of rubber belts for conveyors, etc., but it is highly effective in modifying the surface of tires with grooves and studs. It is effective when used in tires of work vehicles, etc.
