Abstract

A steel cord adapted for the reinforcement of an elastomer comprises steel filaments of a pearlitic structure. The steel cord has a plastic and elastic elongation at break of x % and a plastic and elastic elongation capability in the vulcanized elastomer of y %, the values x and y fulfilling following equation: EQU y-0.50.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.y+0.50, which means that the total elongation at break does not fall down considerably after embedding the steel cord into an elastomer.
