Tire Reinforcement Materials, Applications and Fatigue Testing

2025 in review

This one-day course provided an understanding of the use of materials and constructions for rubber reinforcement in the tire. This course was aimed at tire reinforcement engineers from the design and material laboratory departments of tire manufacturers and their reinforcement suppliers.

The specific requirements of reinforcement were explained for the different tire components. The generic steel and textile cord material properties, constructions and manufacturing were also introduced. Industry specialists from leading reinforcement manufacturers gave further in-depth presentations specifically for steel cord, polyamide, polyester, rayon and aramid reinforcement. The course also included static and fatigue test methods to validate the tire reinforcement in material laboratories for relevant application in the tire.
