Tire Cord Wire
Tire cord wire is made from silicon-killed, hot-rolled, Stelmore-cooled steel rod. The electrolytic brass-coated, high-carbon (0.65%-0.85%) steel wire is drawn to high strength levels and cabled or stranded into constructions suited for reinforcing belts and carcasses of pneumatic tires. It reinforces a tire’s shape, size-stability, bruise resistance, durability and load-carrying capability. This type of wire has very demanding requirements for properties such as tensile strength, adhesion, durability and modulus.
