Can anyone tell me the material/steel spec for the wire used in the wire belt located in the sole of the tyre?
I'm designing a machine to cut soles to width once sidewalls have been removed, and the ring cross cut. Id like to know what wire it is Im trying to shear when designing/spec'ing the shear blades. This will no doubt spill into the machine forum once I get a spec on what it is Im trying to cut when I need to figure out the shear blade steel.
From testing, I can say the wire is very stiff, cuts like piano wire with a loud click when snipped, and when ground, the sparks tend to cling to the grinding wheel, as well as being emitted. Sparks are more white than yellow.
Thanks in advance.
