Tyres which are radially reinforced with high tensile steel cords need to develop a bond between the rubber and the steel. Brass coatings on the cord currently used to promote the bond but deterioration takes place with time and corrosion of the underlying steel occurs eventually. Zinc-cobalt coatings have been used as a replacement for brass. These coatings are capable of beeing drawn in the cord making operation provided that the cobalt content is <1.5 weight-%. Pull-out tests after vulcanising show that zinc-cobalt promotes similar adhesive strengths to that achieved with brass coatings. After ageing in warm moist conditions for up to 16 days the zinc-cobalt coating maintained higher levels of adhesion than brass. In tyre tests the zinc-cobalt coatings were superior in preventing red rust formation on the steel.
