Research on Full Nitrogen Vulcanization Process for Steel-belted Radial Tire
A comparison was made between the steam/nitrogen vulcanization process and the full nitrogen vulcanization process,and the vulcanization temperature measurement and analysis were conducted on 205/55R16 91V steel-belted radial tire using two vulcanization processes.The results showed that compared to the steam/nitrogen vulcanization process,the temperature difference between the upper and lower molds of tires using the full nitrogen vulcanization process was lower,the vulcanization time was shortened,the vulcanization degree of each part met the requirements,the performance of the finished tire was improved,and the energy consumption cost of single tire vulcanization was reduced by 40%.
