Manufacture6.1 Typical Melting a
16、nd Casting:6.1.1 These fully processed electrical steels may be made bybasic-oxygen, electric-furnace, or other steelmaking practice.6.1.2 These electrical steels are characterized by low car-bon, usually less than 0.020 %. The principal alloying elementis commonly silicon, but aluminum up to about
17、0.8 % issometimes used instead of or in addition to silicon, dependingon mill-processing practice for the desired magnetic grade.Individual producers will often have different silicon or alumi-num contents for a particular grade because of intrinsicmill-processing procedures.6.1.3 Sulfur content is
18、typically less than 0.025 % and isusually lowest in the numbered types representing lowest coreloss. Manganese is typically present in amounts between 0.10and 0.40 %. Phosphorus, copper, nickel, chromium, molybde-num, antimony, and tin are usually present only in residualamounts except in the higher
19、 numbered core-loss types inwhich phosphorus up to 0.15 % and tin or antimony up to0.10 % may be present.6.1.4 The producer is not required to report chemicalcomposition of each lot except when a clear need for suchinformation has been shown. In such cases, the analyses to bereported shall be negoti
20、ated between the producer and the user.6.2 Typical Rolling and AnnealingThe processing se-quence for fully processed, nonoriented electrical steel com-prises hot-rolling, annealing, pickling, cold-rolling, and decar-burizing annealing.6.3 When changes in the manufacture of the material arebelieved t
21、o exert possible significant effects upon the usersfabricating practices and upon the magnetic performance to beobtained in the specified end use, the producer shall notify theuser before shipment is made so the user has an opportunity toevaluate the effects.7. Magnetic Properties7.1 Specific Core L
22、ossEach core-loss type of electricalsteel is identified by a maximum core-loss limit as shown inTable 1.7.2 PermeabilityThe permeability at all inductions shallbe as high as possible, consistent with the required core-losslimits that govern the grade. Typical relative peak permeability(p) values are
23、 given in Appendix X1.7.3 Specific Exciting PowerThe rms exciting power re-quired for the excitation of a particular type of electrical steelis frequently useful to the user. Typical values of specificexciting power are given in Appendix X1.7.4 Magnetic AgingAlthough steel sold to this specifica-tio
24、n is considered non-aging, the maximum core-loss values ofTable 1 are based on tests of freshly sheared specimens. Theguarantee of magnetic properties after an aging treatment issubject to negotiation between the user and the producer. Thedefinition of aging coefficient and the aging treatments usua
25、llyspecified are given in Terminology A 340.8. Surface Insulation Characteristics8.1 Unless otherwise specified, fully processed nonorientedelectrical steels are supplied with a smooth surface finish anda thin, tightly adherent surface oxide (Coating Type C-0 inClassification A 976) which has suffic
26、ient insulating ability formost small cores.8.2 Applied Coatings:8.2.1 Several types of thin, tightly adherent applied coatings(Coating Types C-3, C-4, C-5, and C-6 in ClassificationA 976)with higher levels of insulating ability are available on fullyprocessed nonoriented electrical steels. If an ap
27、plied coating isneeded, the user shall specify the coating type.8.2.2 If the insulating ability of the applied coating isunusually critical to the application, the user shall specify notonly the coating type, but also the test method (either TestMethod A 717/A 717M or Test Method A 937/A 937M) andTA

33、ing ability.8.2.3 A thinner-than-usual applied coating may be preferredwhen the core-fabricating practice involves welding or diecasting. In such cases, the coating type shall be suffixed by theletter “A.”9. Mechanical Requirements9.1 Lamination FactorThe lamination factor shall be ashigh as practic
34、able. It is greatest for thicker gages and when thesurface is smooth, uncoated, and without significant amountsof oxide. Lamination factors can be determined using TestMethodA 719/A 719M. Typical values of lamination factor aregiven in Appendix X1.9.2 DuctilityThe material shall be as ductile as pos
35、sible.When required, the ductility can be determined by the bend testfor ductility as described in Test Method A 720/A 720M.Ductility is a function of microstructure and may differbetween producers. The users anneal may also affect ductility.Typical values for ductility are given in Appendix X1.9.3
36、HardnessThe hardness of these materials can bedetermined using Test Methods E18 or Test Method E92.Hardness is affected by chemistry and by the grain size andmicrostructure of the final product. Typical values for thehardness of “as-produced” materials are given inAppendix X1.10. Dimensions and Perm
37、issible Variations10.1 ThicknessSpecified thickness should be one of thecommon thicknesses as follows:Thickness, in. (mm)0.0140 (0.36)0.0185 (0.47)0.0250 (0.64)10.2 Thickness VariationsThe average thickness of thematerial supplied shall be as close as possible to the orderedthickness. Measurements m
38、ade with a contacting micrometerat points no closer than38 in. (10 mm) from the edge of a sheetor coil of specified width shall not differ from the specifiedthickness by more than the values (which include taper) shownin Table 2.10.3 TaperThe rolling of flat-rolled sheets inherentlyproduces an edge
39、which is thinner than the rest of the sheet.This characteristic is termed “tapered edge,” “feather,” orgamma and occurs primarily within 1 to 2 in. (25 to 51 mm)from the as-rolled edge of the material. The thickness variationinvolved in edge taper sometimes is the major portion of thetotal overall t
40、hickness variation permitted by 10.2. Edge taperis defined and may be measured in accordance with TestMethod A 971. It may be expected that the following limits onthe differences in thickness measured along a straight lineperpendicular to the mill edge within the first 3 in. (76 mm) orless from eith
41、er edge of the ordered width will apply:Ordered Thickness, in. (mm) Maximum Taper, in. (mm)0.0140 (0.36) 0.0010 (0.025)0.0185 (0.47) 0.0012 (0.030)0.0250 (0.64) 0.0014 (0.036)10.4 Width TolerancesMaximum deviations from the or-dered width shall be as shown in Table 3.10.5 Length TolerancesThe maximu
42、m deviations fromthe ordered length shall be as shown in Table 4.10.6 CamberCamber is the greatest deviation of a sideedge from a straight line, the measurement being taken on theconcave side with a straightedge. It is limited to14 in. (6.4 mm)per 96 in. (2.4 m) of length.10.7 Out of SquareThis tole
43、rance applies to cut lengthsonly and represents the deviation of an edge from a straight lineplaced at a right angle to the side, touching one corner andextending to the other side. It shall not exceed116 in. (1.6 mm)per 6 in. (152 mm) of width or fraction thereof.11. Workmanship, Finish and Appeara
44、nce11.1 FlatnessAdequately defining the degree of flatnessnecessary for the general application of fully processed elec-trical steel sheets is extremely difficult; therefore, no specificlimits for flatness have been established.11.1.1 It is intended that flatness shall be suitable for theintended ap
45、plication, and consequently, the user should informthe producer of any requirements for a degree of flatness morecritical than that obtained from usual commercial practices.Processes used to improve flatness may affect magnetic andmechanical properties.11.1.2 Commercial practices recognize that shar
46、p, shortwaves and buckles are objectionable.11.1.3 Procedures for judging the degree of critical flatnessnecessary shall be subject to negotiation between user andproducer.11.2 Surface ImperfectionsThe surface shall be reason-ably clean and essentially free of manufacturing defects such asholes, bli
47、sters, slivers, indentations, and so forth, which wouldinterfere with its effective use in the intended application.12. Sampling12.1 The producer shall assign a number to each test lot foridentification. The test lot shall not exceed 20 000 lbs (9100kg) in weight.12.2 Test samples shall be obtained
48、after final mill heattreatment or other operation which is the final operation to havesignificant influence on the magnetic properties of fully pro-cessed electrical steel.12.3 The full width coil identified as a test lot shall besampled in accordance with Practice A 34/A 34M.TABLE 2 Thickness Toler
