The effect of different types of ageing on adhesive properties of steel cord. Salt aging

Abstract

The development of the world automotive industry is aimed at creating new, both in design and properties of tires that can operate in high dynamic loads under different operating conditions. The most probable cause of aging of automobile tires is considered in the article; one of methods of laboratory tests for the accelerated aging of system rubber-metal cord is described. The dependence of the influence of the metal cord design on the adhesion characteristics of the rubberized metal cord and its resistance to aging is also analyzed.
