(評価方法)
まず、以下の実験例において作製したスチールワイヤーの評価方法について説明する。
(1)スチールワイヤーの断面形状の評価
得られたスチールワイヤーを透明樹脂に埋め込み、スチールワイヤーの長手方向と垂直な面(断面)が露出するように試料を切り出した。
(W2に対するW1の割合(%))=W1/W2×100
また、測定、算出した厚さTと、第1の曲線部13と、第2の曲線部14との間の最大距離W2である幅とから、以下の式により扁平率を算出した。
(2)耐久性試験
以下の各実験例で作製したスチールワイヤーを、ゴムシートの上に配置し、さらにその上からゴムシートを被せた。これにより、トータル厚さがスチールワイヤーの厚さの5倍である、直方体形状を有するゴムシートと、スチールワイヤーとの積層物を用意した。そして、係るゴムシートと、スチールワイヤーとの積層物について160℃、20分の条件で加硫した。
