Steel cord for reinforcing a rubber structure

摘要

A steel cord having a basic construction constituted by a group of at least two wires of the same diameter twisted together and a single wire or a bundle of a plurality of parallel wires are intertwisted. This steel cord provides better adhesion between a rubber compound and the steel cord because of better infiltration of the rubber compound into a central cavity formed by adjoining steel cords and also better elastic force in the lengthwise direction of the cord.
