A device for use in the manufacture of wires for reinforcing rubber articles

摘要

A device for the manufacture of steel wires for reinforcing rubber articles, e.g. tyres, comprises a zincing cell 1 located immediately upstream of a wiredrawing machine 2. A layer of zinc is deposited on a brass-coated wire suitable for wiredrawing in an amount of zinc of between 0.1 and 1 gram per kilogram of steel, and the wiredrawing operation to the desired diameter is carried out continuously with the zincing operation.
