Adhesion between steel tire cords and rubber is a very important characteristic largely influencing the performance of tires. Steel tire cords are generally plated with brass. The composition of brass that obtains good adhesion to a given rubber is shown. An analysis of brass/rubber interface was conducted to clarify the fundamental mechanism of adhesion degradation. Degradation was found to have resulted from preferential zinc corrosion in the brass.
