Some aspects of bead wire design for tires

Abstract

This article examines the priority requirements for bead wire as a key component of tires. It outlines various factors affecting the processing of bead wire and the actions taken by manufacturers to improve it. The most critical challenges encountered in designing new bead wire constructions are highlighted, along with possible solutions. The main stages of developing new bead wire designs are reviewed. The important role of a multifunctional team in promptly resolving emerging issues and reducing design timelines is described. Emphasis is placed on the importance of customers providing complete information about the intended design, including its area of application. The use of DFMEA methodology is discussed as a potential tool to address the issue of insufficient input data during the design phase.
