Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Non-oriented electrical steel sheets struggle to achieve high magnetic flux density without incurring significant iron loss, due to limitations in controlling crystal orientation and chemical composition across the sheet thickness.
Innovation Solution
A non-oriented electrical steel sheet with a specific chemical composition and manufacturing process that maintains an appropriate relationship between chemical composition and crystal orientation, including controlled columnar grain ratio, average grain size, and rolling reduction, to enhance magnetic characteristics uniformly across the sheet.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional techniques are used to improve magnetic flux density, then magnetic flux density increases, but iron loss deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes chemical composition parameters (C: 0.0030% or less, Si: 2.00% or less, Al: 1.00% or less, Mn: 0.10% to 2.00%, S: 0.0030% or less) and processing parameters (columnar grain ratio: 80% or more, average grain size: 0.10 mm or more, rolling reduction: 90% or less) to achieve both high magnetic flux density and low iron loss simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The invention controls crystal orientation locally throughout the sheet thickness by maintaining specific chemical composition and processing conditions, ensuring uniform {100} orientation from surface to center, which optimizes magnetic properties while controlling iron loss
