BRASS PLATED STEEL WIRE HAVING GOOD ADHESIVENESS TO RUBBER

摘要

PURPOSE: To produce a brass plated steel wire having an excellent adhesiveness to rubber by regulating the content of Fe in the extreme surface layer of plating in particular, with respect to a technique for improving the adhesiveness of the steel wire for reinforcing the rubber to the rubber. CONSTITUTION: This extremely fine wire to be used by executing drawing after subjecting the steel wire to brass plating mainly composed of Cu and Zn contains Fe in the brass plating layer and the concn. ratio of the Fe in the extreme surface layer of the brass plating interns of Fe/(Cu+Zn+Fe) is 2 to 50%. The brass plated steel wire described above has the good adhesiveness to the rubber. The extreme surface layer of the brass plating described above is 0.01 to 0.03μm from the plating surface.
