Ternary or quaternary alloy coating for steam ageing and cured humidity adhesion elongated steel element comprising a ternary or quaternary brass alloy coating and corresponding method
An elongated steel element adapted for the reinforcement of rubber products is covered with a ternary alloy or quaternary alloy coating of copper M zinc. M is one or two metals selected out of the group consisting of cobalt nickel tin indium manganese iron bismuth and molybdenum. The copper content inside the coating ranges from 58 weight per cent to 75 weight per cent. The content of the one or two metals inside said coating ranges from 0.5 weight per cent to 10 weight per cent. The remainder is zinc and unavoidable impurities. The one or two metals are present throughout the coating. Phosphorus is present on and/or in the coating in an amount of more than 1 and less than 4 milligram per square meter of the coating. The coating further comprises one or ore compounds which complex with the copper in the coating to form an insoluble film on its surface. Good results are obtained for steam ageing and cured humidity adhesion. Furthermore a corresponding method for manufacturing such an elongated steel element is disclosed.
