Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a metal cord for the reinforcement of a rubber article, having excellent diagonal shear strength and rubber-impregnation property and giving a rubber composite material having satisfiable corrosion resistance. CONSTITUTION:Six to 15 thin metal filaments 1 having metal-plated surface are twisted at a twist pitch of >=20mm to form a single twist structure to suppress the plastic deformation caused by the twist generated by the twist of the filaments. When the twist pitch is >=50mm, a restraining metal filament 2 is wound around the outer circumference of the cord to keep the cord characteristics. The diagonal shear strength of the cord can be suppressed and excellent rubber-impregnation property can be attained by this structure.

Is metal-plated and wire-drawn to a diameter of 0.1 to 0.5 mm, and is single-stranded or layer-twisted and widely used as a reinforcing material for automobile tires, conveyor belts, high-pressure hoses, etc. There is. For example, a metal cord having a 3 + 6 two-layer twist structure is used as a belt reinforcing material for radial tires for trucks and buses. Quality characteristics required for this type of rubber reinforcing material include adhesiveness with rubber, corrosion resistance, and various other mechanical performances (diagonal shear load, cutting load, rigidity, etc.).

Among these, regarding the corrosion resistance, when a rubber-uncovered portion is present in the reinforcing material embedded in the rubber, the tire is stepped on stones, nails, etc. while the tire is running and suffers cuts, and the scratches extend to the reinforcing material. When it reaches, the cutting load and corrosion resistance of the reinforcing material decrease. In addition, the adhesiveness between the reinforcing material and the rubber may be deteriorated and peeled off to cause quality trouble in the cut separation of the tire.

In order to improve the diagonal shear strength of the metal cord or the metal filanment alone, it is considered that the diameter of the metal filament is made as thin as possible to suppress the strength reduction caused by the plastic deformation due to the twist during the twisting process. Further, in the composite, that is, in the metal cord or the metal filament embedded in the tire or the like, it is possible to maintain a high elongation as much as possible, and the rubber vulcanization molding temperature (140 to 170 °).
It is important that the influence of blue heat brittleness (or age hardening phenomenon) is small due to C).

In consideration of the above points, the present invention provides a single twist cord (single layer structure) having a twist pitch significantly larger than the twist pitch (20 mm or less) of the conventional 3 + 6 cord (two layer structure). The plastic deformation due to twisting during twisting was reduced, and the reduction in diagonal shear strength was suppressed. Also, if the characteristics of the metal cord (such as the tightness of the twist) are impaired by increasing the twist pitch, that is, if the twist pitch exceeds 50 mm, n thin metal filaments are wound on the outside, and The structure is such that the filament is restrained so that the characteristics of the metal cord are maintained.

【0018】以下に、数値限定の理由を述べる。The reasons for limiting the numerical values will be described below.

First, the number of the restrained filaments (m small-diameter metal filaments to be twisted) is set to 6 to 15. When the number is less than 6, the filament diameter is the conventional 3 + 6 cord filament in order to secure required strength. This is because the diameter may be larger than the diameter, which is not preferable, and when the number exceeds 15, the corrosion resistance (rubber penetration of the substitute characteristic) in the composite with rubber decreases, and this also leads to undesirable results. .

If the twist pitch is set to 20 mm or more, if the twist pitch is less than 20 mm, the plastic deformation due to twisting during twisting is not much different from that of the conventional 3 + 6 cord, and the effect of suppressing strength reduction can be obtained. Because there is no.

On the other hand, the reason for limiting the number of the n metal filaments wound to the outside to 1 to 5 is that the larger the number, the larger the winding pitch and the higher the productivity.
The effect of restraint can be obtained by at least one filament, and since this filament is intended for restraint and does not contribute to the improvement of the cutting strength of the cord, there is a concern that the weight of the entire metal cord will increase due to excess.

At least the restrained filament is preferably a steel wire having a carbon content of 0.65 to 0.78% by weight because filaments other than steel or carbon content of not more than 0.65% by weight. The steel filament of No. 1 needs to have a large diameter in order to maintain the cutting strength of the reinforcing material, resulting in a decrease in diagonal shear strength and a carbon content of 0.78.
Steel filaments in excess of wt% are greatly affected by blue heat embrittlement due to the temperature at the time of flow molding required for compounding with rubber,
This is because the cutting strength can be increased, but the diagonal shear strength decreases, and it becomes difficult to maintain the balance between the two strengths.

As described above, the smaller the diameter of the restrained filament that contributes to the strength, the smaller the decrease in the diagonal shear strength, but on the other hand, the cost is increased and the required cutting strength is ensured. For this reason, the number of twisted wires is increased, and the number of filament feeders for the twisting machine is increased. Therefore, it is not preferable that the diameter is too thin, and in consideration of the number of twisted metal filaments and the cutting strength, the appropriate diameter range is 0.15 to 0.32.

Next, with respect to each of the above samples, the retention rate of oblique shear strength, which is a substitute characteristic of the cut resistance of the tire tread surface, and the rubber penetration, which is a substitute characteristic of the corrosion resistance, were examined. The tester shown in FIG. 3 was used to measure the retention rate of the diagonal shear strength. This tester is sample 3 (metal code)
Receive both ends of the cylinder with the cylindrical fixing pin 4 and grasp with the chuck 6,
The intermediate portion of the sample is bent by the moving pin 5 whose position can be adjusted with the handle 7, and one chuck is pulled and moved under the condition that the bending angle α is constant, and the tensile force at the time of shearing is obtained.
The test condition here is that the tip R of the moving pin 5 is R = 0.2 mm,
The bending angle α was 40 °.

As described above, since the metal cord of the present invention has reduced plastic deformation due to twisting of the metal filament, the diagonal shear strength is less deteriorated, and the rubber penetration is good and the corrosion resistance is also good. Excellent and fully satisfies the properties required for a reinforcing material for rubber articles. Therefore, the durability of the rubber compound such as a tire, a conveyor belt and a high pressure hose made by using this as a reinforcing material is improved.

Among these, regarding the corrosion resistance, when a rubber-uncovered portion is present in the reinforcing material embedded in the rubber, the tire is stepped on stones, nails, etc. while the tire is running and suffers cuts, and the scratches extend to the reinforcing material. When it reaches, the cutting load and corrosion resistance of the reinforcing material decrease. Further, it reduces the adhesion between the reinforcing material and the rubber is peeled also a risk of quality problems caused by tire cut separation.
