Composite materials of steel cords and rubber and a method of producing the same

摘要

A composite material of steel cords and rubber having improved corrosion fatigue resistance and fretting fatigue resistance and a method of producing the same are disclosed. The composite material is produced by bonding rubber to steel cords through vulcanization. Before the vulcanization, steel cords are treated with a rust preventing material consisting of at least one particular surfactant and at least one particular film-former to form a protect layer on the surface of the steel cord.
