A steel cord for tire belt ply reinforcement includes a cord formed by periodically twisting n wires, wherein the n wires are compressed by rolling, and at least one of the n wires is compressed into a non-circular shape, when n is an odd number, a cross-section of one wire from among the n wires is circular due to rolling, and cross-sections of n−1 wires from among the n wires are non-circular, and when n is an even number, cross-sections of two wires from among the n wires are circular due to rolling, and cross-sections of n−2 wires from among the n wires are non-circular due to rolling.
A plated steel wire, according to one aspect of the present invention, comprises: a base steel wire; and a zinc alloy plated layer. The zinc alloy plated layer comprises, in percentage by weight: 1.0% to 3.0% of AI; 1.0% to 2.0% of Mg; 0.5% to 5.0% of Fe; and the balance being Zn and unavoidable impurities, and includes a Zn/MgZn2/AI ternary eutectic structure, a Zn single-phase structure, and an Fe—Zn-AI-based crystal structure, wherein the Fe—Zn-AI-based crystal structure is formed adjacent to the base steel wire, and can have an average thickness of ⅕ to ½ with respect to an average thickness of the zinc alloy plated layer.
Provided are a steel cord and a single steel wire having excellent straightness quality for reinforcing tire and a method of manufacturing the steel cord and single steel wire. The steel cord and the single steel wire include a wire undergoing through a drawing process, a heating process performed in a state in which tension is applied to the wire, and a cooling process; and a winding portion on which the wire is wound, the winding portion having a diameter greater than a diameter of the wire, wherein, when an end of the wire that has been wound on the winding portion for six months to one year is fixed on a point and the wire is pulled down vertically to 400 mm, a distance between a first axis that is perpendicular to the point and an opposite end of the wire is 30 mm or less. The method of manufacturing the steel cord and single steel wire having excellent straightness quality for reinforcing tire includes: a wire preparing process, a heating process, a cooling process, and a winding process.
A plated steel wire, according to one aspect of the present invention, comprises: a base steel wire; and a zinc alloy plated layer. The zinc alloy plated layer comprises, in percentage by weight: 1.0% to 3.0% of Al; 1.0% to 2.0% of Mg; 0.5% to 5.0% of Fe; and the balance being Zn and unavoidable impurities, and includes a Zn/MgZn2/Al ternary eutectic structure, a Zn single-phase structure, and an Fe—Zn—Al-based crystal structure, wherein the Fe—Zn—Al-based crystal structure is formed adjacent to the base steel wire, and can have an average thickness of ⅕ to ½ with respect to an average thickness of the zinc alloy plated layer.
The present disclosure relates to an electroplated bead wire having excellent oxidation resistance, of which oxidation resistance and aging adhesive strength with tire rubber are improved by forming a copper- and cobalt-plated layer by electroplating. The electroplated bead wire includes the plated layer formed through electroplating, wherein the plated layer contains 40 to 99 wt % of copper and 1 to 40 wt % of cobalt.
The present invention relates to a steel cord for rubber reinforcement. In the steel cord of the present invention, cobalt is contained by 0.001 ppm to 0.1 ppm within a 4 nm top-surface of the brass-plated steel wire. A method of manufacturing the steel cord includes: providing a brass-plated steel wire; mixing a cobalt compound in a wet lubricant filled in a wet drawing bath provided with a plurality of drawing dies between one pair of multi-stage drawing cones such that the concentration of the cobalt compound becomes 0.1 ppm to 100 ppm; and causing the cobalt to be contained by 0.001 ppm to 0.1 ppm within a 4 nm top-surface of the brass-plated steel wire after the brass-plated steel wire passes through a final die by causing the cobalt to be attached to a surface of the brass-plated steel wire and alloyed with a brass layer while the brass-plated steel wire is passing through the drawing cones and the drawing dies to be subjected to multi-stage drawing.
