The importance of tires
Tires play a vital role in supporting and evenly distributing the loads and stresses placed on the vehicle due to friction (air resistance and ground friction) and the forward motion of the vehicle. Among other things, they play an important role in the transmission of traction as well as the braking force on the road surface and the absorption of road shocks. They play a vital role as an integral part of the vehicle's control and steering system and are very useful in regulating and maintaining the vehicle's direction of travel. Tires play an important role in keeping your vehicle safe as they are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road.
Basic raw materials for tires
The manufacture of tires is a complex scientific process that utilizes a variety of raw materials, each with a specific purpose. Tires are composed of approximately 200 different raw materials. Experts use this wide variety of tire elements to blend tire elements, each of which performs a specific role based on the tire's specific purpose. The main raw materials widely used are rubber (natural rubber and synthetic rubber type), carbon black, steel wire, ply, sulfur and some trace ingredients.
Carbon black and steel wire as raw materials for tire industry
Carbon black is a substance produced by the partial combustion of hydrocarbons, lignite or fossil fuels. It has a black appearance and is responsible for the darkening of the tire color. Adding carbon black to rubber compounds can greatly improve the wear resistance of tires. The steel wire combined with the formation of the covering provides a strong physicochemical connection between the elastomer and the steel. Metal reinforcements provide stiffness and rigidity to the tire.
Ply and sulfur reinforcement in tires
Ply has long been used to reinforce tires. Fabric reinforcement is now widely used in high-performance, high-speed tires to improve convenience and longevity. At the same time, the vulcanization of tires is achieved through sulfur. Vulcanization is a chemical process that increases the flexibility, tensile strength and viscosity of rubber.
