Description
7t7~
A method for coating grain oriented silicon steel to improve its magne~ic properties; the method includes applying to the surface of said steel a coating of Mg(OH)2 and SiO2 and thereafter final texture annealing said steel ln ~he conven~ional manner with said coating thereon.
It is known to produce for electrical applications grain oriented silicon steel. More specifically, for this purpose the steel is melted, cast, hot rolled, subjected to one or more cold rollings, and intermediate normalizing treatment when two or more cold rollings are employed, decarburizing, application of a refractory oxide coating and final texture annealing to provide the desired grain orientation essential for achieving the required magnetic properties.
It is a primary objec~ of the presen~ invention to provide an improved electroly~ic coating practice for use with grain oriented silicon steels which results in improved magnetic properties.
This and other objects of the invention as well as a more complete undcrstanding thereof m2y be ob~ained from ~he following description and specific ex~ples.
The method of ~he invention provides an improvement in the conventional practice Gf producing grain oriented silicon steel wherein a melt of the steel is produced containing fro~
.02 to .06% carbon, up to .008% boron, up ~o .01% nitrogen, up to .05% aluminum and from 2.5 ~o 4% silicon, with the balance iron. In the conventional manner the ~elt is cast, hot rolled, cold rolled and decarburized. In accordance wi~h the invention a coating is applied to the surface of the steel comprising Mg(OH)2 and SiO2 and thereater the s~eel is final texture annealed wi~h the coating thereon. It has been fo~md that wi~h this coating a significan~ improvement is achieved with respec~ to the magnetic propcr~ies of the steel after ~exture annealing. With respec. to the coating it should preferably comprise in percen~ by weight, 87.5 to 97 Mg(OH)2 and 3 to 12.5 SiO2, or 88 to 96 Mg(OH)2 and 4 to 12 SiO2. It is preferred practice tha~ the coating be electrolytically applied by the use of a magnesl~m acetate electrolyte. The coating may also be applied by mixing the coating consti~uents with wa~er and applying as a slurry, but this practice is not preferred. Also the constltuents could be applied as individual layers, but this is likewise no~
preferred.
As a specific example o the practice of the invention a silicon steel of the following composition was used;
In Percent by Weight C B N _Al Si Fe .033 .0003 .0040 .003 3.17 Balance This steel was in the conventional m~nner hot rolled, and cold . rolled to a thickness of .0104 in. prior to conventional decarburization. The surfaces of various samples of the steel were coated both in the conventional pxactice and in accordance with the practice of the invention and the magne~ic properties, e.g. core loss and magnetic permeability at 10 oersteds, were determined as reported in Table I.
