A STEEL CORD FOR RUBBER REINFORCEMENT

The invention is relating to a steel cord for rubber reinforcement. The steel cord has a construction comprising an outer layer and an inner strand surrounded by and adjacent to the outer layer, the inner strand comprises at least one steel filament with a number of Nand an average diameter of dexpressed in mm, the outer layer comprises steel filaments with a number of Nand an average diameter of dexpressed in mm, the inner strand has a torque Tand the outer layer has a torque T, the relation between Tand Tare defined. By doing this, the tip rise problem of the rubber ply reinforced by steel cords is reduced.
