The dependence of the adhesive properties of the steel cord from the different test methods and application of various compounds

Abstract

One of the most important indicators of the quality of the metal cord is the strength of its adhesion to the compound, i.e. adhesive strength. This is due to the fact that the value of adhesive strength significantly affects the performance of tires.The article analyzes how the use of different test methods could determine the adhesive strength and the use of compounds of different consumers affect the amount of adhesion of the metal cord. Three methods of testing of different consumers are considered and compared, the features of each method are revealed. Tests were carried out using different methods and compounds of different consumers; the factors affecting the value of adhesive strength were determined.
