Abstract
A critical assessment of the merits of core-spinning by means of comparisons of the strength and extension of core-spun yarns with all-staple-fibre yarns forms the basis of this paper. Core-spinning was done by introducing the filament under tension into the drafted strand as the latter entered the front rollers of the ring-frame. A 20-den (2.2-tex) nylon monofilament was used as core, and three types of staple-fibre covering were investigated. The effects of twist, pre-tension, and feeding arrangements on the geometrical disposition and tensile properties of the yarns were examined. Improvements in strength are, in general, realized at low twists by the incorporation of the filament and by further constraining it to occupy the core. The contribution of the components to the yarn strength and the process of breaking were also subjected to a detailed study. The studies reported provide an interesting insight into the extent of cohesion developed between the fibres during the straining of the yarn and its influence on the process of breaking and ultimately on yarn extension.Keywords
