Description
SPECIFICATION
Improvements in electro magnetic steels
This invention relates to steels for electromagnetic applications and is particularly directed to non-oriented steels displaying magnetic ageing resistance.
Non-oriented silicon steels for electromagnetic applications are well known in the art and are produced generally in the form of sheet or strip in the fully annealed condition which is subsequently sheared or stamped into laminations. These laminations are stacked to form the cores of static or rotating electrical machines such as transformers and alternators and are magnetically excited by current flow through conductors wound around the cores.
In conventional non-oriented silicon steel particular attention must be paid to the processing of the material to avoid deterioration in the magnetic properties after processing has been completed. This deterioration of magnetic properties with time is termed magnetic ageing and is usually expressed as a percentage increase in total power loss (Watts/kg) at a specified induction. (e.g. 1.5 Tesla).
It is now accepted practice to reduce magnetic ageing by a decarburising anneal; decarburising is thus a vitally important but unfortunately expensive stage in the production of a nonoriented silicon steel. The process requires an atmosphere of either pure hydrogen or one rich in hydrogen which has to be saturated with water to achieve a specific dew point. This atmosphere can be expensive and difficult to handle.
Temperature/times of annealing have to be closely controlled for optimum decarburisation rates.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a process route which will produce a magnetic ageing resistant, non-oriented silicon steel and which avoids a decarburising treatment in the finishing plant.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for producing non-oriented steel sheet for electromagnetic applications comprises hot rolling steel having less than 0.025% carbon, between 0.05% and 3.5% silicon, between 0.2% and 0.8% manganese, between 0.10% and 0.35% aluminium, between 0.003% and 0.008% nitrogen, together with a nitride/carbide former selected from the group consisting of titanium, niobium, tantalum, vanadium and zirconium, the remainder being iron except for incidental impurities, coiling the hot band at a temperature of not less than 6800C and subjecting the subsequently cold reduced material of substantially final gauge to a non-decarburising anneal at a temperature lying within the range 9000Cto 10000C.
Ideally, the non-decarburising final anneal should be carried out at a temperature in excess of 9400C and preferably within the temperature range 9500C to 10000C.
The steel of this invention may be produced by any conventional steelmaking process. For
example basic oxygen steelmaking, open hearth
refining or electric arc steelmaking may be
employed, with the required composition being
achieved by techniques well known in the art. In the case of steel produced by basic oxygen
steelmaking or open hearth refining, the carbon
concentration is conveniently reduced by vacuum degassing. Alloying of the melt to produce the required composition may occur during, or after the vacuum degassing operation.
Preferably the hot band, which ideally is hot rolled at a finishing temperature of not less than 9000C is coiled at a temperature in excess of 7000C to produce optimum results.
The concentration of nitride/carbide former in the material of the invention suitably is selected to lie within the range by weight of 0.05% to 0.2% for titanium, 0.06% to 0.3% for vanadium, 0.05% to 0.3% for nobium, 0.12% to 0.3% for zirconium, and 0.10% to 0.3% for tantalum.
When phosphorus and sulphur generally are present at incidental impurity levels and can be tolerated at these levels, the concentration by weight of phosphorus should not exceed 0.04% while the concentration by weight of sulphur should not exceed 0.025%. In practice however where the steel of the invention before inoculation is produced by basic oxygen steelmaking, a lower concentration limit of 0.01% of phosphorus and 0.02% or possibly 0.015% of sulphur is likely to be achieved.
The hot band produced according to the present invention may be cold reduced to substantially final gauge in a single cold rolling operation or may be reduced to substantially final gauge in two stages with an intermediate anneal.
In the case where two stage cold reduction is employed, the intermediate anneal conveniently is at a temperature lying within the range 8500C to 10000C although a temperature lying within the range 9000C to 10000C is preferred. While the intermediate anneal may be in a decarburising atmosphere, a non-decarburising anneal may equally be used and will of course display a number of advantages including cost benefit.
The use of a non-decarburising atmosphere in the final anneal of the cold reduced material of substantially final gauge produces no reduction of carbon concentration. However in conventional silicon steels a decarburising atmosphere is necessary to produce the low level of carbon required to minimise magnetic ageing resistance.
If conventional silicon steels were processed in a non-decarburising atmosphere unsatisfactory levels of carbon would result which would be detrimental to the magnetic ageing characteristics.
The use of the process route according to the present invention displays the cost benefit of avoiding a decarburising anneal atmosphere previously necessary to achieve the low levels of carbon concentration essential to produce acceptable ageing and magnetic characteristics.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the following examples.

0.025% S
0.014% P
0.095% Ti 0.15% at 0.0059% N - balance iron and incidental impurities, was
made, cast into ingots, hot rolled into slabs and subsequently hot rolled to strip of nominal thickness 2.0 mm. The hot strip rolling was conventionally performed using a finishing temperature of 9350C (17200 F) and a coiling temperature of 6800C (12500F).
The hot rolled material was pickled and cold reduced in a single rolling operation to a final thickness of 0.50 mm. The cold rolled material was then subjected to a final anneal in a nondecarburising atmosphere at 9000C for approximately 2.5 minutes.
A typical power loss of 6.1 5 W/kg was obtained at 1.5T, 50 Hz on a longitudinal Epstein sample from material processed in this way.
Ageing tests, which consist of treating the samples at a temperature of 1 500C for 14 days followed by re-testing were carried out and substantially no deterioration in total power loss was found.
EXAMPLE 2

After pickling the hot rolled material was cold reduced to an intermediate thickness of 0.55 mm and given an inter anneal at 9000C in a nondecarburising atmosphere.
The material was then cold reduced to a final thickness of 0.50 mm followed by final annealing in a non-decarburising atmosphere at 9000C for approximately 2.5 minutes.
A typical power loss for material processed in this manner is 4.97 W/kg at 1.5T, 50 Hz on a longitudinal sample. Magnetic ageing tests confirmed good ageing resistance.

8. A method as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the hot band is cold reduced to substantially final gauge in a single cold rolling operation.
9. A method as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 7 wherein the hot band is cold reduced to substantially final gauge in two stages of cold rolling with an intermediate anneal.
10. A method as claimed in claim 9 wherein the intermediate anneal is at a temperature within the range 8500C to 100000.
11. A method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the intermediate anneal is at a temperature within the range 9000Cto 100000.
12. A method as claimed in any one of claims 9 to 11 in which the intermediate anneal is in a nondecarburising atmosphere.
13. A method as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the nitride/carbide former is selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, niobium, zirconium and tantalium.
14. A method as claimed in claim 13 wherein the concentration of nitride/carbide former is selected to lie within the range 0.05%--0.2% by weight for titanium, 0.06%--0.3% for vanadium, 0.05%0.3% for niobium, 0.1 2%-0.3% for zirconium and 0.1 0%-0.3% for tantalum.
15. A method as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the concentration by weight of phosphorus and sulphur is not greater than 0.04% and 0.025% respectively.
16. A method as claimed in any preceding claim in which the steel is subject to vacuum degassing and the nit;nde/carbide former is adding during or aftervaccum degassing.
17. A method for producing non-oriented steel sheet for electromagnetic applications substantially as herein described with reference to any of the examples.
18. A non-oriented steel sheet for electromagnetic applications herein produced by the method of any preceding claim.
