Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 cold-rolled sheetsheet manufactured from hot-rolled descaled coils by cold reducing to the desired thickness,generally followed by annealing to recrystallize the grainstructure. In the case of magnetic lamination steels,
10、 particularlysemiprocessed lamination steels, temper rolling is used afterannealing to enhance flatness and optimize magnetic propertiesduring the users lamination anneal.3.1.2 magnetic lamination steelsspecialty cold-rolled car-bon sheet steel melted to controlled levels of carbon withadditions of
11、manganese, phosphorus, silicon, and aluminum.Residual elements are generally held as low as possible.

Materials and Manufacture5.1 Melting PracticeThese steels are typically made bythe basic-oxygen or electric-furnace process.5.2 Typical Rolling and AnnealingThe processing se-quence for magnetic
19、lamination steel comprises hot rolling,pickling, cold rolling, annealing, and temper rolling.5.2.1 Magnetic lamination steels (all types) are cold reducedto thickness. The non-guaranteed core-loss type product canalso be sold in the as-annealed condition or after a temper millpass to flatten and to
20、impart the required surface texture(surface roughness). Magnetic lamination steels are usuallytemper rolled after box or continuous annealing to enhancemagnetic property development during the users laminationanneal. In addition, the temper pass is used to improve sheetflatness and punchability and
21、to obtain the required surfacetexture. Special emphasis may be placed on high extensions (2to 10 %) during the temper roll after annealing.5.2.2 When changes in the manufacture of the material arebelieved to exert possible significant effects upon the usersfabricating practices and upon the magnetic
22、 performance to beobtained in the specified end use, the producer shall notify theuser before shipment is made so that user has an opportunity toevaluate the effects.6. Chemical Composition6.1 Magnetic lamination steels have low-carbon contents.For the non-guaranteed core-loss type, the carbon conte
23、nt isless than 0.06 %. For higher quality core-loss types, the carboncontent is typically less than 0.04 % and may be reduced to lessthan 0.02 % by means of vacuum degassing, argon stirring, orother steel refining practices when such low-carbon contentsare required to facilitate decarburizing during
24、 annealing. Somemagnetic lamination steels are produced to carbon contents lessthan 0.005 %. In these steels, decarburization during annealingmay not be required.6.2 Magnetic lamination steels may have manganese, phos-phorus, silicon, and aluminum added to enhance punchabilityand to improve magnetic
25、 characteristics by increasing electri-cal resistivity. Other elements in small controlled amounts maybe used in the manufacture of these steels. In the past, the alloyadditions to magnetic lamination steels have been restrictedsuch that the density of the steel was maintained above 7.825g/cm3(7825
26、kg/m3). However, higher quality core-loss typemagnetic lamination steels may have alloy contents withdensity values less than 7.825 g/cm3(7825 kg/m3) andsubsequent testing for magnetic properties shall be in accor-dance with the procedure of Test Method A 343/A 343M (seeSection 12).6.3 Residual elem
27、ents found in steels are generally held aslow as practical.7. Magnetic Properties7.1 The magnetic properties of these steels are optimizedwhen the stamped laminations or assembled core structures areannealed to reduce the carbon content to 0.005 % or less. Toavoid sticking of laminations and assure
28、adequate decarburiza-tion, the annealing temperature should be in the range from1350 to 1500F (730 to 845C). Time at temperature will varywith lamination dimensions, charge size, surface finish, andannealing furnace characteristics. A partially combusted natu-ral gas atmosphere with suitable dew poi
29、nt is often used. Also,some users of lamination steels use a hydrogen-nitrogen gasmixture with a suitable dew point. For steel containing man-ganese, silicon, and aluminum, annealing conditions shall besuch that subsurface oxidation of these elements is minimized.7.2 Core losses of higher quality co
30、re-loss types are guar-anteed and shall conform to the limits given in Table 1.Relative peak permeability is a dimensionless quantity which isthe same in all unit systems. The typical values of relative peakpermeability for higher quality core-loss types are given inAppendix X1.8. Mechanical Propert
31、ies8.1 Hardness in the finished product depends on chemicalcomposition and mill processing. For the mill process annealedand temper rolled condition, hardness values typically rangefrom Rockwell 45 to 85 HRB.8.2 Specific ranges of hardness are subject to negotiationand should be specified on the ord
32、er.8.3 Rockwell hardness measurements are normally deter-mined by a superficial test (R30T and R15T) and converted toa B scale value in accordance with Test Methods E18 andTables E 140.8.4 When mechanical tests are required, test specimensshall be prepared and mechanical tests conducted in accor-dan
33、ce with Test Methods and Definitions A 370.9. Dimensions and Permissible Variations9.1 Tolerances for thickness, width, and camber applicableto magnetic lamination steels are shown in Table 2, Table 3,and Table 4.9.2 Thickness VariationsThe average thickness of thematerial supplied shall be as close
34、 as possible to the orderthickness. Measurements made 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 value (which includes taper) shownin Table 2.9.3 TaperThe rolling
35、of flat rolled sheets inherently pro-duces an edge which is thinner than the rest of the sheet. Thischaracteristic is termed tapered edge or feather or gamma andA726052occurs primarily within 1 or 2 in. (25 or 50 mm) from theas-rolled edge of the material. The thickness variation, classi-fied as edg
36、e taper, is often the major portion of the total overallthickness variation permitted in 9.2. It may be expected that inthe case of edge slit coils, the following limits on thedifferences in thickness measured within the first 2 in. (50 mm)or less from either edge of the ordered width will apply:Ord

45、ot be used due to their effects on magneticproperties. Special flatness requirements for a particular appli-cation should be made known on the purchase order.10. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance10.1 The steel shall have a workmanlike appearance andshall be reasonably free of imperfections of a na
46、ture or degreethat will be detrimental to the fabrication of the finishedlamination. Coils may contain some abnormal imperfectionswhich render a portion of the coil unusable because theinspection of coils does not afford the producer an opportunityto remove portions containing imperfections.10.2 Mag
47、netic lamination steel is supplied with a surfacetexture produced by rolling on mill rolls which have beenroughened by mechanical, chemical, or electrical means tovarious degrees of surface texture. The roughened texturespromote decarburization and minimize sticking during thelamination anneal. Depe
48、nding upon the application require-ments, surface roughness is usually within the range from 40-to 160-in. (1.0- to 4.0-m) arithmetic average (RA) at 0.030-in. (0.76-mm) cutoff and 0.125-in./s (3.2-mm/s) tracing speedand a minimum 1-in. (25-mm) stroke.10.3 Cut edges made at the continuous pickler be
49、fore coldreduction (non-side trimmed last) will be furnished unlessotherwise specified.10.4 Magnetic lamination steel is customarily furnished notoiled (dry). If it is to be oiled, it must be so specified.11. Sampling11.1 Tests for magnetic properties, when required, shall betaken in a manner to assure representative sampling of the testlot. For quality control purposes, a test lot comprises one heatand it is usual practice to sample one coil from a cast or heat.Frequency of sampling when magnetic properties are guaran-teed shall be subject to negotiation.12.
