Tire cord steel wire (GB/14450-199) is one of the most common kinds of steel wires used in the production of tires. It is a major component in automotive tires, used mainly to reinforce the tires air chamber(s). The wires provide stability and strength to the rubber layers of the tire. Tire cord steel wire is also essential for overall tire performance, as it contributes to the overall performance of the tire as a whole, while also providing compression, durability and abrasion resistance.
Tire cord steel wire is made from high carbon steel, high carbon steel alloy, and stainless steel in the form of a round, wire-like material. These wires are high-performance wires and provide excellent corrosion resistance, elasticity, resistance to wear, and high-tensile strength in tires.
The tire cord wires are generally made from high-carbon steel which can handle high temperatures and provide exceptional wear and resistance. The steel wires are then hot-drawn, cold-drawn or cold-bent to a certain size. The final product is a fine, round, and smooth wire, ready for use in tires. The wires can also be plated with galvanized or aluminum finishes to provide additional protection.
Tire cord steel wire is usually coated with a polyester or rubber coating, to improve its strength and durability. The coating also helps to protect the steel wires from the elements and allows them to better absorb mechanical loads and shocks.
Tire cord steel wire can also be made with other alloys such as stainless steel and titanium, in order to achieve even higher levels of strength and performance. These wires can also be made to different shapes, sizes, and lengths to be used in different applications.
Some of the key benefits of using tire cord steel wire in tires include: improved braking performance, better tread wear, improved handling and grip, and better ride comfort. Additionally, tire cord steel wire provides excellent resistance to cutting, abrasion, and corrosion.
In conclusion, tire cord steel wire is an integral part of tire production and provides unparalleled strength and performance. Tire cord steel wire is also highly durable and can withstand extreme temperatures and loads. Tire cord steel wire is cost-effective, and most importantly, it provides excellent performance in various applications.
