31、use, the producer shall notify the user beforeshipment is made so the user has an opportunity to evaluate the effects.7. Magnetic Properties7.1 Specific Core LossEach core-loss type of electrical steel is identified by a maximum core-loss limit as shown in Table 1.7.2 PermeabilityThe permeability at

32、 all inductions magnetic flux density values shall be as high as possible, consistent withthe required core-loss limits that govern the grade. Typical relative peak permeability (p) values are given in Appendix X1.7.3 Specific Exciting PowerThe knowledge of the approximate value of rms exciting powe

33、r required for the excitation of aparticular type of electrical steel is frequently useful to the user. Typical values of specific exciting power are given in AppendixX1.7.4 Magnetic AgingAlthough steel sold to this specification is considered non-aging, the maximum core-loss values of Table1 are ba

34、sed on tests of freshly sheared specimens. The guarantee of magnetic properties after an aging treatment is subject tonegotiation between the user and the producer. The definition of aging coefficient and the aging treatments usually specified aregiven in Terminology A340.8. Surface Insulation Chara

35、cteristics8.1 Unless otherwise specified, fully processed nonoriented electrical steels are supplied with a smooth surface finish and a thin,tightly adherent surface oxide (Coating Type C-0 in Classification A976) which has sufficient insulating ability for most smallcores.8.2 Applied Coatings:8.2.1

36、 Several types of thin, tightly adherent applied coatings (CoatingTypes C-3, C-4, C-5, and C-6 in Classification A976) withhigher levels of insulating ability are available on fully processed nonoriented electrical steels. If an applied coating is needed, theuser shall specify the coating type.8.2.2

37、 If the insulating ability of the applied coating is unusually critical to the application, the user shall specify not only thecoating type, but also the test method (either Test Method A717/A717M or Test Method A937/A937M) and test conditions to beused to evaluate the insulating ability of the coat

38、ing, as well as the corresponding minimum value of insulating ability.8.2.3 Athinner-than-usual applied coating may be preferred when the core-fabricating practice involves welding or die casting.In such cases, the coating type shall be suffixed by the letter “A.”9. Mechanical Requirements and Physi

39、cal Properties9.1 Lamination FactorThe lamination factor shall be as high as practicable. It is greatest for thicker gages and when thesurface is smooth, uncoated, and without significant amounts of oxide. Lamination factors can be determined using Test MethodA719/A719M. Typical values of lamination

40、 factor are given in Appendix X1.9.2 DuctilityThe material shall be as ductile as possible. When required, the ductility can be determined by the bend test forductility as described in Test Method A720/A720M. Ductility is a function of microstructure and may differ between producers.The users anneal

41、 may also affect ductility. Typical values for ductility are given in Appendix X1.9.3 HardnessThe hardness of these materials can be determined using Test Methods E18 or Test Method E92E384. Hardnessis affected by chemistry and by the grain size and microstructure of the final product. Typical value

42、s for the hardness of“as-produced” materials are given in Appendix X1.10. Dimensions and Permissible Variations10.1 ThicknessSpecified thickness should be one of the common thicknesses as follows:Thickness, in. (mm)Thickness, mm (in.)0.0140 (0.36)0.36 (0.0140)0.0185 (0.47)0.47 (0.0185)0.0250 (0.64)0

(10 mm)10 mm (0.375 in.) from the edge of asheet or coil of specified width shall

44、not differ from the specified thickness by more than the values (which include taper) shownin Table 2.A677 16310.3 TaperThe rolling of flat-rolled sheets inherently produces an edge which is thinner than the rest of the sheet. Thischaracteristic is termed “tapered edge,” “feather,” or gamma and occu

45、rs primarily within 1 to 2 in. (25 to 51 mm)25 to 51 mm (1to 2 in.) from the as-rolled edge of the material. The thickness variation involved in edge taper sometimes is the major portion ofthe total overall thickness variation permitted by 10.2. Edge taper is defined and may be measured in accordanc

46、e with Test MethodA971/A971M. It may be expected that the following limits on the differences in thickness measured along a straight lineperpendicular to the mill edge within the first 2 in. (50 mm)50 mm (2 in.) or less from either edge of the ordered width will apply:Ordered Thickness, in. (mm) Max
