Application of 4×0.38UT Steel Cord in Belt of Steel-belted Radial Tires
The application effect of 4×0.38UT steel cord instead of 2+7×0.28HT steel cord in belt of the semi-steel radial tire was studied.The results showed that,in the case of the same production process,the performance of the finished tire using 4×0.38UT steel cord was comparable to the previous configuration,tire weight was decreased,and the cost was reduced,having significant economic benefits.
