teel cords like nylon or polyester cords are one of the
most important component of tire in industry. The
adhesion strength between these cords and the rubber
depends on the surface properties of the cords which is the
main component of tyres. Adhesion property can be varied
by various modifications of surface of steel cords. One of
various modifications of surface is roughen of the cord
surface by irradiation. In our previous study, it has previously
investigeted the effect of suface properties of the UV-laser
irradiated nylon cord on adhesion. In this study, steel cords
which are the most important additives, are irradiated with
UV excime laser with different pulses and fluences and
roughened with the effect of laser beam on the surface.
The presence of the shagginess was examined via optic
microscopy and then, adhesion properties of the natural
rubber tyre after adding UV Laser beamed steel cords was
observed via measuring their tensile strengths. Maximum
elongation load, stress at break, elongation at break, change
of modulus properties with pulse and fluence are examined.
The results showed that the load, stress, elongation and
tension at break point is increased up to 300 pulse, and then
decreased. Also modulus decreased up to 300 pulse and
then increased.
