14、ctrical steels may be made bybasic-oxygen, electric furnace, or other steelmaking prac-tice(s).6.1.2 These electrical steels are characterized by low car-bon, usually less than 0.030 %. The principal alloying elementis commonly silicon, but aluminum up to about 0.8 % issometimes used instead of, or
15、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 as a result of intrinsic millprocessing procedures.6.1.3 Sulfur content is typically less than 0.025 % and
16、isusually lowest in the numbered types representing lowest coreloss. Manganese is typically present in amounts between 0.10and 0.70 %. Phosphorus, copper, nickel, chromium, molybde-num, antimony, and tin are usually present only in residualamounts except in the higher numbered core-loss types wherep
17、hosphorus, tin, or antimony up to 0.15 % may be present.6.1.4 The producer is not required to report chemicalcomposition of each lot except where a clear need for suchinformation has been shown. In such cases, the analyses to bereported shall be negotiated between the producer and user.6.2 Typical P
18、rocessingThe processing sequence for semi-processed nonoriented electrical steel comprises hot rolling,pickling, cold rolling, and annealing. An additional annealingoperation may precede or follow the pickling operation.6.3 When changes in the manufacture of the material arebelieved to exert possibl
19、e 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.

22、cs8.1 Unless otherwise specified, semiprocessed electricalsteels are supplied with a thin, tightly adherent surface oxide(coating Type C-0 in Classification A976) which has sufficientinsulating ability for most small cores. The insulating ability ofcoating Type C-0 can be enhanced during the users h
23、eattreatment by using a slightly oxidizing atmosphere.8.2 Applied Coatings:8.2.1 Semiprocessed electrical steels may also be suppliedwith a thin applied coating (coating Types C-4AS andC-5AS in Classification A976) which has sufficient insulatingability for most small cores. A major purpose for usin
24、g coatingTypes C-4AS and C-5AS is to reduce surface-to-surfacesticking during the users heat treatment.8.2.2 When essential, higher levels of insulating ability maybe obtained by coating semiprocessed electrical steels withthicker applied coatings (coating Types C-4 and C-5 inClassification A976). U
25、sage of such coatings should be ap-proached with great caution since the coatings may have aninhibiting effect on decarburization and thereby limit theattainment of the lowest core losses in the users heat treat-ment.9. Mechanical Requirements9.1 Lamination FactorThe lamination factor shall bedeterm
26、ined using Test Method A719/A719M and shall be ashigh as practicable. It is normally greater for 0.025-in. (0.64-mm) thick steel than for 0.0185-in. (0.47-mm) thick steel andwhen the surfaces are smooth and have no applied coating.9.2 DuctilityThe material shall be as ductile as possible,consistent
27、with meeting magnetic requirements. When requiredthe ductility shall be determined by the bend test for ductilitydescribed in Test Method A720/A720M. Ductility is a functionof microstructure and may differ between producers. The usersanneal may also affect ductility.10. Dimensions and Permissible Va

(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 Edge TaperThe rolling of flat-rolled strip inherentlyproduces an edge that is thinner than
30、 the rest of the strip. Thischaracteristic is termed “edge taper,” “feather,” or “gamma.”TABLE 1 Core-Loss TypesAand Maximum Core LossesBat aMagnetic Flux Density of 15 kG (1.5 T) and 60 HzCof QualityEvaluation Annealed Epstein SpecimensD0.0185-in.

40、tnessAdequately defining the degree of flatnessnecessary for the general application of semiprocessed electri-cal steel sheets is extremely difficult; therefore, no specificlimits for flatness have been established.11.2.1 It is intended that flatness shall be suitable for theintended application, an
