Abstract

Short steel fiber composite tire tread rubber can greatly combine rigidity of short steel fiber with flexibility of tire tread rubber, which can considerably improve performance of tire. Tire tread used in heavy load vehicles or engineering vehicles has problems of easily cracking, chunking, chipping, quickly wearing and so on under the severely working condition. In order to effectively deal with the problems mentioned above, short steel fiber is used as strengthening substance and tire tread rubber is used as base material through processing surface of short steel fiber with copperizing way. Thus composite formula system and blending technique of short steel fiber and vehicle tire tread can be designed. Physical model of composite strengthening blending of short steel fiber and tire tread composite reinforcement dispersing model under the condition of four sporadic types of short steel fiber can be constructed. Then composite reinforcement mechanism of short steel fiber and tread rubber is explored from the two processes of physics and chemistry, and efficient combination of short steel fiber and tire tread rubber is realized. A contrast experiment on stretching strength, tearing strength, wearing index, hardness and dent resistance rebound resilience of different contents of short steel fiber is carried, so performance effect rules of short steel fiber to tread rubber is achieved. The results show that distribution of short steel fiber in tread rubber has an optimal content value which is the ideal one of reinforcement effect and the performance of composite base is greatly improved, when steel fiber content is about 10%.
