Abstract
Abstract Cross sectional TEM observation was conducted with the aim of investigating the interfacial reaction of commercially manufactured steel cord and rubber during vulcanization. At the initial phase of the reaction, an inter-reacted layer was uniformly generated regardless of uneven brass thickness. As vulcanization progresses, the thickness of the interreacted layer becomes uneven, i.e. the thicker the brass plate, the thicker the inter-reacted layer becomes. Thus, the inter-reacted layer grows unevenly making a mirror image of the uneven brass plate, while a Zn-rich brass layer was formed between the brass plating and the inter-reacted layer.
