HIGH ELONGATION STEEL CORD AND PNEUMATIC TIRE COMPRISING SAID CORD

摘要

A steel cord having a plurality of strands twisted together with a cord twist pitch. Each strand having a plurality of filaments twisted together with a strand twist pitch. The elongation at break of the steel cord is no less than 5%. The strand having a strand twist angle. The steel cord having a cord twist angle. When the sum of the strand twist angle and the cord twist angle is between 20 and 29 degree, the structural elongation of the steel cord is no less than 2.0%. When the sum of the strand twist angle and the cord twist angle is between 30 and 38 degree, the structural elongation of the steel cord is no less than 2.5%. When the sum of the strand twist angle and the cord twist angle is between 39 and 48 degree, the structural elongation of the steel cord is no less than 3.0%.
