Tyre Reinforcement Steel Products

Drawn to extremely fine filaments, in some cases no thicker than human hair, it requires steel of the highest cleanness and tensile consistency, adding strength and flexibility to tyres. High purity raw materials and stringent processes ensure that Corus produces wire rod with all the properties essential for tyre reinforcement.

The principal metallurgical properties required for tyre reinforcement are strength, ductility, fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance. 

Corus Wire Rod for tyre reinforcement undergoes extensive tests before being despatched to customers throughout the world. The testing in Corus’ extensive laboratory examines segregation, steel cleanness, scale, surface quality, decarburisation, chemical composition, size, shape and tensile strength properties. Only if the product passes all of these quality tests is it despatched to customers, ensuring it arrives in optimum condition.
