A composite metal foil and a preparation method thereof are provided. The composite metal foil includes a carrier layer, a barrier layer, a striping layer, and a metal foil layer. The carrier layer, the barrier layer, the striping layer, and the metal foil layer are sequentially stacked, the barrier layer includes a metal bonding layer and a high-temperature resistant layer stacked, and the metal bonding layer is disposed between the carrier layer and the high-temperature resistant layer. The striping layer is disposed between the carrier layer and the metal foil layer so as to facilitate peeling of the carrier layer, and the barrier layer is disposed between the carrier layer and the metal foil layer so as to prevent the carrier layer and the metal foil layer from diffusing mutually to cause bonding at a high temperature, so that the carrier layer and the metal foil layer are easy to peel off. In addition, the metal bonding layer is disposed between the carrier layer and the high-temperature resistant layer, so that the barrier layer is not easy to separate from the carrier layer, and peeling between the barrier layer and the carrier layer is prevented.

A steel filament for twisting into a steel cord for the reinforcement of rubber articles, which contains a steel substrate that is coated with a coating comprising brass. The coating is different in that the amount of iron at the surface is distinctively higher than that prior steel filaments. The coating has an average iron content of 4 or more atomic percent compared to the total of iron, zinc and copper atoms in the layer extending from the surface to a depth of 3 nanometer below the surface. The steel filaments show an improved adhesion retention under hot and humid conditions and in organic cobalt compound containing rubbers as well as rubbers that are substantially free of cobalt. The lifetime of the rubber article is extended.
