A bladder for a vulcanizer includes, as a constituent member, a low
elongation material with stable properties at vulcanization temperatures.
During a vulcanization-molding process, the bladder is pressed against the
inner surface of a green tire using a pressurized medium. The pressurized
medium can be at vulcanization temperatures. The bladder has substantially
the same shape as the inner wall surface of the tire that is formed using
the bladder. As a result, irregularities in the shape of the inner wall
surface of a tire rarely occur, and the frequency of exchange of bladders
can be reduced. The vulcanizer bladder can include a conductive material
or a magnetic material, both of which can be heated by using an induction
heating coil. The use of both heat from the pressurized medium and heat
generated in the bladder to vulcanize a green tire can shorten the period
of time required for vulcanizing-molding.
