This will help the producer toprovide the most suitable material for the users fabricatingpractices), and6.1.11 Exception to the specification or special require-ments.7. Materials and Manufacture7.1 Normally, these steels contain approximately 3.2 %silicon and the balance

30、 iron with residual elements at aminimum. When requested, the producer shall provide astatement of chemical composition typical of the materialbeing supplied.7.2 These electrical steels may be made by the basic-oxygenor electric-furnace process.7.3 When changes in the manufacture of successive ship-

The sampling,specimen preparation, and testing practices that are describedherein must be followed when confo

For the conventional grain-oriented grades, the value ofrelative pat 10 Oe (796 A/m) is commonly above 180

35、0.

Surface Insulation Characteristics9.1 The surfaces types produced in each of the materialconditions of 5.1 normally have different levels of insulatingability. Interlaminar resistance of two adjacent test surfaces isdetermined

37、with Test Method A 937/A 937M. Surface insula-tion resistivity of a single test surface is determined with TestMethod A 717/A 717M. Typical ranges for surface insulationeffectiveness of the various surface types are given in Appen-dix X1.9.2 When insulative characteristics substantially differenttha

Physical and Mechanical Properties10.1 Lamination FactorThe lamination factor shall be ashigh as practicable consistent with the mater

39、ial thickness andcondition. Lamination factor may be determined using TestMethod A 719/A 719M. Typical lamination factor values forthe various material thickness and condition combinations areshown in Appendix X1.10.2 DuctilityThe ductility shall be as high as practicable.When the application requir

40、es forming around a sharp radiusduring fabrication, and an evaluation of the ductility is re-quired, the ductility rating shall be determined in accordancewith Test Method A 721. Ductility ratings in the followingclasses are appropriate for grain-oriented steels in any thick-ness and condition when

Procedur

48、es for judging orevaluating the degree of flatness in such cases shall be subjectto negotiation between the user and the producer.12.2 Surface DefectsThe surface of the material shall bereasonably clean and essentially free from manufacturingdefects such as holes, mill marks, slivers, and so forth,
