Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a sheet of magnetic steel with non-oriented grain called "fully process” and the sheet obtained by this process.
  • Such a method is known and commonly used in the field of making magnetic sheets with non-oriented grains.
  • Magnetic sheets known as non-oriented grain, that is to say having isotropic magnetic properties are more particularly intended for the construction of electromagnetic devices in which the magnetic flux generated by the electrical windings is not constant, such as for example in rotating machines.
  • Some transformers used in the household appliance sector use this type of quality for economic reasons.
  • These electromagnetic devices consist of cut and assembled sheets.
  • the latter have a degree of efficiency which is evaluated according to two parameters which are the level of induction on the one hand, and the specific total losses, on the other hand.
  • the induction is limited by the saturation magnetization of the sheets and this magnetization is higher the higher the material is rich in iron.
  • Vacuum processing improves the cleanliness and purity of the steel and thus reduces losses by hysteresis.
  • Non-oriented grain sheets made from steel with a silicon content of about 3% currently have the best magnetic loss characteristics and a lower saturation magnetization than magnetic sheets whose steel contains little or no silicon.
  • magnetic sheets with non-oriented grains are used, made with a steel containing, in its composition, only one very low silicon content, that is to say a content of less than 0.5%.
  • Document EP-A-0434641 thus discloses a composition containing 0.2 to 2% of silicon but also 0.2 to 0.5% of aluminum.
  • the so-called oriented grain sheets have a very high proportion of grains having an orientation (110). [001]. These sheets have excellent magnetic properties in the direction of rolling. They are anisotropic, that is to say that their properties depend on the direction of rolling. Thus, for example, the losses of a magnetic sheet of common composition, 0.35 mm thick, are three times higher in the direction perpendicular to the direction of rolling than in the direction of rolling.
  • Sheets with anisotropic magnetic properties therefore have the disadvantage that they can only be used for applications in which the magnetic field lines correspond to the direction of rolling. It is therefore a question of using them for static machines such as transformers.
  • the initial annealing operation after hot rolling has the function of influencing the state of the precipitates, for example MnS and / or AlN with respect to the microstructure of the sheets so as to promote the further development of the growth of oriented grains to form a GOSS texture.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the magnetic characteristics of non-oriented grain sheets made from steel containing very little silicon, that is to say to reduce the magnetic losses and to increase the magnetization under a determined magnetic field.
  • This process contributes to an improvement in the magnetic qualities, that is to say a reduction in the specific total losses and also an increase in the magnetization.
  • the steel is produced under vacuum and continuously cast in the form of slabs.
  • the sheet is produced during the hot rolling operation after rolling with slabs using a band train.
  • Table I groups together the values of the magnetic characteristics obtained in a series of tests for variation of the conditions of the heat treatment prior to cold rolling.
  • the tests were carried out by varying the temperature of the treatment from 700 ° C. to 1100 ° C., the temperature holding times being variable from 1 to 5 minutes.
  • results of the tests show, by comparison with the characteristics of a sample which has not undergone treatment, that the preliminary treatment makes it possible to increase, on the one hand the inductions of about 5% and on the other hand to reduce the losses about 12%.
  • Table II groups together, for two thicknesses of magnetic sheets, the loss characteristics in W / Kg at 50 Hertz under an induction of 1 and 1.5 Tesla, as well as the induction obtained under the three values of magnetic fields taken as reference. .
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible, unexpectedly, to obtain from a magnetic sheet, on the one hand, high magnetic characteristics, and on the other hand mechanical characteristics comparable to those obtained by the method of the prior art.
