(0.30 mm).1.1.1 Refer to Specification A677 for properties of flat-rolled nonoriented fully processed electrical steel in nominalthicknesses of 0.014 in. (0.36 mm) to 0.025 in. (0.64 mm).1.1.
4、2 Refer to Specification A876 for properties of flat-rolled grain-oriented fully processed electrical steel.1.1.3 Thin-gauge nonoriented electrical steels with a highsilicon content (typically 6 %) manufactured using siliconvapor-deposition or similar processes are not included in thisspecification.

Desirable core loss and permeabilitycha
6、racteristics are developed during mill processing; however,lamination manufacturing processes may adversely affect thesemill-produced properties. Additional stress-relief heat treat-ment by the user may therefore be helpful in remediating theseproperties in the manufactured laminations. Stress-relie

20、ll be negotiated between the user andthe producer.6. Manufacture6.1 Typical Melting and Casting:6.1.1 These thin-gauge fully processed nonoriented electri-cal steels may be made by basic-oxygen, electric-furnace, orother steel making practices.6.1.2 These thin-gauge fully processed nonoriented elect
21、ri-cal steels are characterized by low carbon content, usually lessthan 0.02 %. The principal alloying element is commonlysilicon, but aluminum up to about 0.8 % is sometimes usedinstead of or in addition to silicon, depending on mill-processing practice for the desired magnetic grade. Individualpro
22、ducers will often have different silicon or aluminum con-tents for a particular grade because of intrinsic mill processingprocedures.6.1.3 Additional alloying elements that may be presentdepending on mill processing procedures include sulfur, typi-cally less than 0.025 %, manganese in amounts betwee
23、n 0.10and 0.40 %, and phosphorus, copper, nickel, chromium,molybdenum, antimony, and tin in residual amounts.6.1.4 The producer is not required to report the chemicalcomposition of each lot except when a clear need for suchinformation has been shown. In such cases, the information tobe reported shal
24、l be negotiated between the producer and theuser.6.2 Typical Rolling and AnnealingThe processing se-quence for thin-gauge fully processed, nonoriented electricalsteel comprises hot-rolling, annealing, pickling, cold-rolling,and decarburizing annealing.6.2.1 Commercial RerollingWhen commercial practi

Typical relativepeak permeability (p) values are given in Appendix X1.7.3 Minimum Magnetic Flux DensityThe minimum mag-netic flux density of ma
29、terials at specified magnetic fieldstrengths is frequently useful to the user. Typical values ofminimum magnetic flux density are given in Appendix X1.7.4 Magnetic AgingAlthough steel sold to this specifica-tion is considered non-aging, the maximum core loss values ofTable 1 are based on tests of fr

Surface Insulation Characteristics8.1 Unless otherwise specified, thin-gauge fully processednonoriented electrical steels are supplied with a smooth surfacefinish and a thin, tightly adherent surface oxide (coating typeC-0 in Classif
35、ication A976) which has sufficient insulatingability for many small cores.8.2 Applied Coatings:8.2.1 Several types of thin, tightly adherent applied coatingswith higher levels of insulating ability, including coating typeC-5 in Classification A976 as well as other standard andproprietary coating typ
36、es are available on thin-gauge fullyprocessed nonoriented electrical steels. If an applied 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 al
37、so the test method (either TestMethod A717/A717M or Test Method A937/A937M) and testconditions to be used to evaluate the insulating ability of thecoating as well as the corresponding minimum value ofinsulating ability.8.2.3 A thinner than usual applied coating may be preferredwhen the core fabricat
38、ing practice involves welding or diecasting. In such cases the coating type and characteristics shallbe determined by agreement of the user and producer.9. Mechanical Requirements9.1 Lamination FactorThe lamination factor shall be ashigh as practicable. It is greatest for thicker gages and when thes
39、urface is smooth, uncoated and without significant amounts ofoxide. Lamination factors can be determined using TestMethod A719/A719M.

40、rdness is affected by chemistry and by the grain size andmicrostructure of the final product and may differ betweenproducers. If tests for hardness are to be included with aproduction order, the test method or methods to be used andacceptable hardness values shall be negotiated between theuser and t
41、he producer.10. Dimensions and Permissible Variations10.1 ThicknessNominal thicknesses of each core-loss typeare shown in Table 2.10.2 Thickness VariationsThe average thickness of thematerial supplied shall be as close as possible to the orderedthickness. Measurements made with a contacting micromet
42、erat points no closer than 0.375 in. (0.95 mm) from the edge ofa sheet or coil of specified width shall not differ from thespecified thickness by more than the values (which includetaper) shown in Table 2.10.3 TaperThe rolling of flat-rolled sheets inherentlyproduces an edge which is thinner than th
43、e 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 thickness variation permi
44、tted by 10.2. Edge taperis defined and may be measured in accordance with TestMethod A971/A971M; allowable taper as measured along astraight line perpendicular to the mill edge within the first 2 in.(51 mm) or less from either edge of the ordered width ispresented in Table 3. It may be expected that
