Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional techniques for grain oriented electrical steel sheets are insufficient in reducing magnetostriction velocity level (Lva), particularly in middle to high magnetic field ranges, and fail to effectively control the texture of the steel sheet to minimize transformer noise and improve iron loss characteristics.

Innovation Solution

A grain oriented electrical steel sheet with a specific chemical composition and controlled texture, including deviation angles and grain sizes, is developed to optimize the alignment of crystal orientations and introduce local and low-angle subboundaries, which reduces magnetostriction velocity and enhances iron loss characteristics.

Solution Approach 1:

The invention introduces grain size ratio parameters (RαL/RβL and RαL/RγL) as new control variables alongside crystal orientation alignment. By controlling both the alignment degree to {110} orientation and the grain size ratios within specific ranges, the invention simultaneously optimizes iron loss characteristics and reduces magnetostriction velocity level, overcoming the limitation of conventional techniques

AI summary

A grain oriented electrical steel sheet includes the texture aligned with Goss orientation. In the grain oriented electrical steel sheet, when a grain size RAαL, a grain size RAβL, and a grain size RAγL are defined in a rolling direction L, the grain sizes satisfy RAβL<RAαL and RAγL<RAαL.
