Summary of the invention
About import partial strain to surface of steel plate, the sectionalization of 180 ° of magnetic domain width is reduced this laser magnetic domain control of iron loss, comprise as most of motion prior art patent document 1, up to now, the result who attempts, further define the more radiation parameters such as kind, laser beam condensation point shape, laser energy density, laser radiation interval of laser, the content of motion is very unilateral, lacks unity.Its reason is: do not relate to as the strain of the principal element that causes magnetic domain sectionalization, reduction iron loss or the quantitative discussion of unrelieved stress.Say, improving by laser radiation aspect the iron loss, even identical illuminate condition, according to the specific absorption (forming decision) of steel plate, the difference of leather film thickness by optical maser wavelength, surface texture, shape, epithelium, can be also different by laser to the conversion of heat energy (temperature distribution, temperature course), even therefore laser irradiation condition is identical, because the proterties difference of steel plate, the strain of importing is also different.And even identical heat energy (temperature distribution, temperature course), because composition (for example Si content) difference of steel plate, physics value (for example Young's modulus, yield value of stress) is also different, so unrelieved stress is also different.Therefore, promptly allow to obtain laser irradiation condition for the best of the steel plate of certain condition, as long as it is the state of tunicle changes a little, also different by the strained mode of entrance that laser causes, core loss value can change, so lasing condition is not corresponding one to one with the reduction of iron loss.Therefore, for iron loss, require to find more essential factor of influence.Though speak of to patent documentation 2 quantitative property unique strain, unrelieved stress, if just only control strain, the stretching unrelieved stress of surface of steel plate, then there is the limit in the reduction of iron loss.
Problem of the present invention is, the iron loss of one-way electromagnetic steel plate is divided into magnetic hysteresis loss and eddy-current loss, especially from the viewpoint of eddy-current loss, not only surperficial, also comprise inner thickness of slab direction, quantitatively with the suitable condition controlling strain and the distribution of unrelieved stress, provide thus compared with the past aspect iron loss the one-way electromagnetic steel plate of excellence.
Present inventors carry out the experiment of magnetic domain control, import strain, unrelieved stress by laser radiation etc. to one-way electromagnetic steel plate, diligently study the distribution of the unrelieved stress that inquiry agency imports for the low iron loss one-way electromagnetic steel plate that obtains.It found that, if find the dependency between unrelieved stress and the eddy-current loss, carries out compression stress value and the control of answering changing distance, just can realize the one-way electromagnetic steel plate of excellent in iron loss characteristic.Main idea of the present invention is as follows.
(1) a kind of one-way electromagnetic steel plate, thereby be to have one-way electromagnetic steel plate with the linear strain of rolling direction approximate vertical by the irradiation continuous-wave laser beam, described linear strain, with the vertical direction of rolling direction be that plate is transversely even, and on rolling direction, be periodically, this one-way electromagnetic steel plate is characterised in that, near the compressive residual stress of the rolling direction that place strain introduction part, produces, with the horizontal vertical cross section of plate on bivariate distribution in, with the compressive residual stress of rolling direction in the regional integrates that has compressive residual stress in this cross section and the value that obtains is 0.20N~0.80N.
(2) according to above-mentioned (1) described one-way electromagnetic steel plate, it is characterized in that, by laser beam irradiation cause above-mentioned plate transversely strain uniformly on the rolling direction, periodically be spaced apart 2mm~8mm.
Embodiment
Present inventors are at the surface irradiation laser to one-way electromagnetic steel plate, thereby the linear strain that imports at certain intervals on rolling direction with the rolling direction approximate vertical improves in the method for iron loss, for various laser irradiation conditions, be conceived to the horizontal vertical cross section of plate on the bivariate distribution of unrelieved stress of rolling direction and the laser radiation of rolling direction (spacing) at interval, found the condition that can obtain the one-way electromagnetic steel plate of excellent in iron loss characteristic.At this, plate laterally is and the vertical direction of rolling direction.Import the method for linear strain as described above as surface to one-way electromagnetic steel plate, except laser irradiation, can also list ion implantation, electrodischarge machining(E.D.M.) method, local electroplating method, ultrasonic vibration method etc., this condition all is suitable for for adopting any method to import the strained one-way electromagnetic steel plate.Below with accompanying drawing the one-way electromagnetic steel plate that obtains by laser radiation of the present invention is described.
Fig. 1 is the explanatory view of the laser light irradiation method that the present invention relates to.In the present embodiment, use polygon mirror 4 and f θ lens 5, will shine on the one-way electromagnetic steel plate 1 by the laser beam LB scanning of the continuous oscillation (CW) of laser aid 3 outputs.By the distance between change f θ lens 5 and the one-way electromagnetic steel plate 1, and the rolling direction optically focused diameter d 1 of laser beam is changed.The 6th, cylindrical lens or a plurality of cylinder group lens, focal point about laser beam, optically focused diameter (scanning direction length) dc of the scanning direction (horizontal with the vertical plate of rolling direction) of light beam is changed, be used to control the optically focused shape from circle to ellipse.Average irradiation energy density Ua[mJ/mm
2], use laser power P[W], plate transverse scan (scan) the speed Vc[m/s of the horizontal laser beam of plate], the laser radiation of rolling direction PL[mm at interval], be defined as: Ua (mJ/mm
2)=P/ (Vc * PL).Laser scanning speed is by the decision of the speed of rotation of polygon mirror, therefore, can make laser power, polygon mirror speed of rotation, laser radiation interval variation and averages the adjustment of irradiation energy density.Fig. 1 has been to use the example of one group of laser and laser beam flying device, but also can transversely dispose many same devices at plate according to the plate width of steel plate.
It is the continuous oscillation fiber laser device of 10 μ m that present inventors use fiber core diameter, various combinations by focal point shape and average irradiation energy density Ua change illuminate condition, to the one-way electromagnetic steel plate surface, with the direction of rolling direction approximate vertical with the wire scanning laser beam, implement the experiment of laser radiation.Bivariate distribution and the iron loss and the magnetic hysteresis loss of the unrelieved stress of the rolling direction on mensuration and the horizontal vertical cross section of plate are separated into magnetic hysteresis loss with iron loss and eddy-current loss is investigated.With the mensuration of the bivariate distribution of the unrelieved stress of rolling direction on the horizontal vertical cross section of plate, be to adopt X-ray diffraction method to measure spacing of lattice, use the physics value of Young's modulus etc. to convert stress to.Iron loss adopts SST (monolithic tester; Single Sheet Tester) tester is measured W
17/50W
17/50Iron loss when being frequency 50Hz, peakflux density 1.7T.For the one-way electromagnetic steel plate sample that uses in the present embodiment, be under the situation of 0.23mm at thickness of slab, prelaser W
17/50Be 0.86W/kg.Magnetic hysteresis loss calculates according to magnetic hysteresis loop, and eddy-current loss is for to deduct the value that magnetic hysteresis loss obtains from above-mentioned iron loss.
The compressive residual stress that Fig. 2 is illustrated near the rolling direction that produces the laser irradiating position with the horizontal vertical cross section of plate on the representational example of bivariate distribution.About the steel plate that can see that iron loss is improved, though according to laser irradiation condition, the absolute value of unrelieved stress there are differences, and has bigger tensile stress near surface of steel plate, in the following existence that can see stress under compression of its thickness of slab direction.Moreover, there is the width of the rolling direction of unrelieved stress and plastix strain, roughly proportional with the rolling direction diameter d 1 of laser focusing point.
Present inventors are for the steel plate that uses the continuous oscillation laser apparatus to carry out laser radiation, and the stretching unrelieved stress of surface of steel plate and the maximum value of compressive residual stress and the relation of iron loss are investigated.The maximum value of stretching unrelieved stress and the relation of iron loss are shown in Fig. 3, the maximum value of compressive residual stress and the relation of iron loss are shown in Fig. 7.About stretching unrelieved stress maximum value, can't see and/or optimum value relevant with iron loss.On the other hand, about the maximum value of compressive residual stress, be the 100MPa that is represented by long and short dash line when above, iron loss is good, but higher limit and unclear.Its result, the iron loss in the magnetic domain of being undertaken by the laser radiation control can not describe with the maximum value of stretching unrelieved stress, also can not describe with the maximum value of compressive residual stress fully.Can expect the possibility that the additional features amount exists.
Therefore, the result of the careful investigation of present inventors data as first starting point, is conceived to: the maximum value of stretching unrelieved stress than the compression unrelieved stress big and stretching residual stress concentrations in narrow region; Reaching yielding stress according to illuminate condition is the plastix strain zone; On the other hand, the maximum value of compressive residual stress and iron loss can be seen many relations, as second starting point, are conceived to: even the maximum value of compressive residual stress is identical, compressive residual stress be distributed in exist in the expansion of depth direction different.That is, realize that iron loss reduces and the principal element of magnetic domain sectionalization, consider from first starting point, significant is not tensile stress, but stress under compression is considered from second starting point, significant is not the maximum value of unrelieved stress, but the expansion that distributes.
Present inventors as characteristic quantity " integration compression stress value σ S ", define as shown in the formula (1) when the distribution of the stress under compression of expression realization reduction iron loss like that.

Promptly, near laser irradiating part, near the compressive residual stress of the rolling direction that produces the strain introduction part just, in the bivariate distribution on the cross section horizontal perpendicular to plate, about integration compression stress value σ S[N], the compressive residual stress of rolling direction is made as σ [MPa], the zone that has compressive residual stress in this cross section is made as S[mm
2], surface elemant is made as ds, σ S is defined as that in region S counter stress σ carries out integration and the value that obtains.That is, the integration compression stress value is the summation of the compressive residual stress that imports by laser radiation.
The laser radiation interval PL of rolling direction is made as 4mm (constant), laser focusing is put shape to be made as: 20 * 2500 μ m, 100 * 500 μ m, 100 * 2000 μ m, 300 * 200 μ m, about for this each situation, the one-way electromagnetic steel plate that changes laser power interimly and shone adopts aforesaid method to obtain the integration compression stress value.On the other hand, the iron loss by measuring for each situation deducts magnetic hysteresis loss, obtains eddy-current loss.Fig. 4 is for each electro-magnetic steel plate, draws eddy-current loss We at drawing integration compression stress value σ S on the X-coordinate, on ordinate zou, thus the figure of expression the relationship of the two.From this result, integration compression stress value and eddy-current loss, regardless of the focal point shape, all inversely proportional relation.The reduction that this means eddy-current loss is that sectionalization effect in magnetic domain district is proportional with the summation of the compressive residual stress that is imported.Investigate this phenomenon from the physical property principle, as described below.Magnetoelastic energy E:
E=-C×σ×M×cos
2θ
Wherein, C is a constant, and σ is a unrelieved stress, and M is a magnetic moment, and θ is the angle that σ and M constitute.At this moment, under the situation that has compressive residual stress on the rolling direction, therefore E minimum when θ is 90 ° notices that σ is a negative value, and the direction of magnetic moment is vertical with rolling direction.Therefore, because stress under compression, easy magnetizing axis also can produce in its vertical direction not only in rolling direction.Usually, it is called as the circulation magnetic domain.If there is the circulation magnetic domain, then magnetostatic energy increases, and becomes unstable, therefore can consider the magnetic domain sectionalization, carries out stabilization thereby reduce magnetostatic energy.Therefore can think that the circulation magnetic domain is many more, i.e. strong the and generation broadly of compressive residual stress, then magnetic domain sectionalization effect is high more, and eddy-current loss reduces more.
Fig. 5 is to use the data used and the iron loss of mensuration in Fig. 4, at drawing integration compression stress value σ S on the X-coordinate, draw on ordinate zou and arrive iron loss W
17/50Thereby, the figure of expression the relationship of the two.From this result, in scope, with the iron loss W before the magnetic domain control by the 0.20N shown in the long and short dash line≤σ S≤0.80N
17/50=0.86W/kg compares, and can realize that by the iron loss improvement rate shown in the dotted line be (W more than 13%
17/50≤ 0.75W/kg) this good iron loss.Moreover iron loss improvement rate η is defined as: η (%)={ iron loss of (iron loss of material-arrival iron loss)/material } * 100.Since at integration compression stress value σ S during less than 0.20N, the eddy-current loss height, so iron loss can not reduce.Can think, at integration compression stress value σ S during,, because the plastix strain that causes by the stretching unrelieved stress of near surface, so the magnetic hysteresis loss increase, can not reduce iron loss though eddy-current loss reduces greater than 0.80N.As previously discussed as can be known, if integration compression stress value σ S is adjusted to the scope of 0.20N≤σ S≤0.80N, then can obtains good iron loss and improve.If more preferably be adjusted to the scope of 0.40N≤σ S≤0.70N as can be known, the effect of the iron loss that then can be further improved.
In described in front, with the laser radiation of rolling direction at interval PL be fixed on 4mm and carry out, but the laser radiation that further changes rolling direction PL and investigated its influence at interval.At this moment, the focal point shape of laser beam is that the rolling direction diameter is that 0.1mm, scanning direction (plate is horizontal) diameter are 0.5mm, adjusts Ua and makes that integration compression stress value σ S is the scope of 0.20N≤σ S≤0.80N.Fig. 6 is drawing the laser radiation interval PL of rolling direction, drawing iron loss W on ordinate zou on the X-coordinate
17/50Thereby the figure of expression the relationship of the two.From this result, PL can realize that iron loss improvement rate is 13% good iron loss when being the scope of 2mm~8mm.When PL was scope less than 2mm, magnetic hysteresis loss increased, and therefore can not reduce iron loss.When PL is scope greater than 8mm, can not reduce eddy-current loss, therefore can not reduce iron loss.If as described above the laser radiation interval PL of rolling direction is adjusted to the scope of 2mm≤PL≤8mm as can be known, then can obtains the improvement of good iron loss.
