る。[Function] As described above, the surface of the ultrafine steel wire used for reinforcing the tire is usually plated with a copper alloy such as brass that bears the adhesive force with the tire rubber. Corrosion observed in the wire in the presence of water causes stress concentration in the pit-like corrosion pit due to galvanic corrosion of steel from the pinhole in the plating layer, and the corrosion fatigue fracture progresses from that point. It is supposed to do.

The dissolution rate of the steel at that time is represented by the current density at the intersection of each polarization curve, and becomes the cathode reaction rate limiting. By the way, the reduction reaction of the dissolved oxygen on the surface of the flat plate electrode is diffusion limited rate of the dissolved oxygen, and the reaction rate is approximately represented by the following formula [5]. i = (n · F · D · C * ) / δ [5] i: Diffusion limit current density n: Number of charges F: Faraday constant D: Dispersion constant of dissolved oxygen C * : Offshore oxygen concentration δ: Apparent Thickness of diffusion layer

That is, the diffusion limit current density (i) on the surface of the linear electrode depends on the radius (r) of the wire and can be approximately represented by the following formula [6]. i = (n · F · D · C * ) / [r · ln (1 + δ / r)] …… [6]

Dependence on the wire diameter is slightly different, and now considering that the wire rod has an elliptical cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 1, an ellipse is an assembly of circumferential portions having different radii of curvature, and The radius of curvature of the ellipse is larger than the radius (r) of the true circle when compared with the radius of curvature of the ellipse. This tendency is expressed by the above formula [6].
When comparing a true circle and an ellipse for a wire having the same cross-sectional area, the diffusion limiting current density (i) of dissolved oxygen becomes smaller when the cross-sectional shape is elliptical, and as a result, the reaction rate control of corrosion is It is thought that the cathode reaction that becomes

It is considered that the diffusion limit current density (i) becomes smaller as it becomes larger (that is, becomes flatter), and accordingly galvanic corrosion is also suppressed and the corrosion resistance of the ultrafine steel wire is enhanced.

The present invention has been completed as a result of such research, and attempts to suppress corrosion fatigue fracture due to galvanic corrosion while ensuring good twisting characteristics by devising the cross-sectional shape of the ultrafine steel wire. Specifically, as described above, the cross-sectional shape of the ultra-fine steel wire, the outline of which is a closed curve obtained by folding back the curve represented by the above formula [1] on the X axis and the Y axis, and the above formula X is the curve represented by [2]
It is specified so as to have a shape represented by an arbitrary closed curve between the closed curve obtained by folding back along the axis and the Y axis, and more preferably, the contour line is the curve represented by the above formula [3] on the X axis and the Y axis. A closed curve obtained by folding back along the axis and a closed curve obtained by folding back the curve represented by the above formula [4] along the X axis and the Y axis are specified to have a shape represented by an arbitrary closed curve, and a / B, that is, the ratio of the major axis (2a) to the minor axis (2b) is 1.05 to 5.0 and 2a,

The curve represented by the formula [1] is represented by X-axis (horizontal symmetry) and Y-axis.

細鋼材に求められる要求適性を満足できなくなる。In FIG. 2, if the outer shape of the cross-sectional shape deviates inside or outside the shaded area, the above-mentioned galvanic corrosion suppressing effect due to the elliptical shape cannot be effectively exhibited. The ratio of major axis / minor axis (a / b) is 1.
When it is less than 05, almost no significant difference is recognized from that of a normal circular cross section. On the other hand, if this ratio exceeds 5.0 or the major axis (2a) exceeds 1.0 mm, the effect of improving the corrosion resistance by setting the sectional shape as described above in the present invention is saturated and further improvement is achieved. Not only can it not be expected, but the cross-sectional shape of the ultra-fine steel wire becomes too flat, and the twisting property is significantly deteriorated, and it becomes impossible to satisfy the required suitability required for the ultra-fine steel material for tire reinforcement and the like.

Expressed by an arbitrary closed curve between the obtained closed curve and the closed curve obtained by folding the curve represented by the formula [4] along the X axis (horizontal symmetry) and the Y axis (vertical symmetry) (hatched area in FIG. 3). And the ratio of the major axis (2a) to the minor axis (2b), that is, a / b is 1.05 to 5.0, and the major axis (2a) is 1.0 mm or less. An ultra-fine steel wire with a cross-sectional shape that has an outline in the area can effectively exhibit the galvanic corrosion inhibition effect while maintaining excellent twisting characteristics, and is extremely useful as a steel cord for tire reinforcement.
