Abstract
Abstract A steel wire element useful in the reinforcement of rubber compositions in which the steel wire is provided with an adhesive coating comprising a brass alloy containing 58% to 75% copper and cobalt in an amount sufficient in use to improve the adhesion between the coated steel wire and the rubber composition. Preferably the brass alloy contains 2% to 4% of cobalt. Applications include coated steel cords for use in vehicle tires and conveyor belts and hoses.
