A wire strand (10) comprises a plurality of wires (12, 16, 20). The wires comprise a central king wire (12), a first layer (14) of wires (16) arranged around the king wire, and a second layer (18) of wires (20) arranged around the first layer. The king wire is formed of steel having a carbon content of at least 0.3 wt %. Each wire of the first layer is formed of steel having a carbon content which is less than the carbon content of the king wire. Each wire of the second layer is formed of steel having a carbon content which is greater than, or the same as, the carbon content of the wires of the first layer.

The invention can be used in the production of prestressed reinforcement. The problem of interest consists in developing a reinforcing cable having an increased degree of bonding, said cable having guaranteed structural stability and providing an increased degree of bonding with concrete, durability, and stress relaxation resistance. In a reinforcing cable, a central wire (1) is disposed along the axis of the cable, and is configured with spiral grooves (2) having a pitch that is equal to the pitch of the lay of the cable. Strand wires of an inner layer are disposed within the grooves, each of said wires being in contact with the central wire and with two adjacent wires of the inner layer. Strand wires are helically arranged at equal intervals from one another in an outer layer, each of said wires being disposed in a groove between the strand wires of the inner layer, and being in contact with the latter.

Rubber article-reinforcing steel cord in which corrosion resistance is improved without an increase in weight. In a rubber article-reinforcing steel cord (1), plural sheath strands (3) each formed by twisting together plural steel filaments are twisted together around at least one core strand (2) formed by twisting together plural steel filaments. Core strand (2) and sheath strands (3) are each formed by twisting together one or two core filaments (2c) and (3c) and plural sheath filaments (2s) and (3s), respectively, and a relationship represented by the following Formula (1) is satisfied when a wire diameter of core filament(s) (2c) of core strand (2), a wire diameter of sheath filaments (2s), a wire diameter of core filaments (3c) of sheath strands (3), and a wire diameter of sheath filaments (3s) are defined as dcc, dcs, dsc and dss, respectively: dcc>dcs≥dsc>dss (1).

The invention relates to the technological field of bridge structures, in particular to a long-service-life PWS cable with replaceable sleeve and shielding gas. It consists of wire strands, wrapping tape covering the wire strands, and a sheath arranged outside the wire strands, and is characterized in that the sheath is covered with an outer protective sleeve and shielding gas is filled between the wires in the wire strands. The wire strands of the present invention is completely under protection in a shielding gas environment which effectively avoids the corrosion of the wire strands; the protective sleeve outside the sheath of the PWS cable is a replaceable segmented and fragmented sleeve structure, which is convenient to be replaced and installed, substantially prolonging the service life of the PWS cable system with great promotional value achieved.

A steel wire having a flat shape in a cross-section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction, wherein an outer shape of the cross-section includes a first straight portion, a second straight portion arranged opposite to the first straight portion, and a first curved portion and a second curved portion that connect the first straight portion to the second straight portion, wherein the first curved portion is arranged opposite to the second curved portion, and wherein a ratio of W1 to W2 is 75% or less, where W1 is an average value of a length of the first straight portion and a length of the second straight portion, and W2 is a maximum distance between the first curved portion and the second curved portion.
