Abstract
A hybrid strand includes a core and outer wires arranged around the core, wherein at least a part of the outer wires is compressed, wherein the compressed outer wires include a flattened cross-sectional shape, the outer wires are composed of steel, and the core is a fiber core. A corresponding production method produces such a hybrid strand.
Claims6
Hybrid strand comprising a core and outer wires arranged around said core,
- wherein at least a part of the outer wires is compressed, the compressed outer wires comprise a flattened cross-sectional shape, the outer wires are composed of steel and the core is a fiber core,
- wherein a first compressed outer wire is spaced apart from an adjacent compressed outer wire, and
- wherein a lateral flattened area of the first compressed outer wire faces a lateral flattened area of the adjacent compressed outer wire at a distance.
Method for the production of a hybrid strand, wherein outer wires made of steel are wrapped and compressed around a fiber core,
- wherein the outer wires during compression contact each other in a lateral contact area,
- wherein after compression at least a part of the outer wires comprises a flattened cross-sectional shape in the contact area,
- wherein the outer wires support each other in a vault-like manner during the compression, and
- wherein the outer wires are pressed against the fiber core during compression prior to the vault formation and spring back to a corresponding extent after compression, so that the deformed outer wires of the compressed hybrid strand are spaced apart.
