Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing an improved electrical steel as well as the electrical steel produced by the process and its use.
  • the stators of electric motors are made of so-called electrical steel.
  • the electrical steel strip is a strip steel sheet, for example with thicknesses between 0.3 mm and 1.2 mm.
  • This band steel sheet is stamped into the required shapes and from the individual stamped components, the corresponding stator lamination packages are assembled, which are then wound with the corresponding coils. If such an iron core is inserted into a coil, its ferromagnetic properties, which are preset by the steel manufacturer, or at least prepared so that they are adjusted by a final annealing at the user, the permeability and thus the magnetic flux density in the coil elevated. As a result, the number of turns can be reduced in order to achieve a required inductance.
  • the iron of the core is an electrical conductor, it flows in a coil with an iron core through which AC flows in this a current in a quasi-shorted turn, called the eddy current.
  • This eddy current is reduced when the core is not made of a piece of iron but from a stack of iron sheets already described. However, to really reduce this eddy current, the iron sheets or iron fins must be isolated from each other.
  • JP 69-013530 and WO-01/12435 mention blueing process of an electrical steel.
  • Such layers which are achieved by blueing, are mixed layers of Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 3 O 4 in approximately equal proportions.
  • These bleaching treatments are carried out by the user in electric strip ovens by increasing the dew point or in specially designed Bläuungsöfen also by dew point increase.
  • Such a prior art blasting apparatus as is used by many users of electric sheets, is known in FIG. 2 shown.
  • the band 103 is unwound from a bundle 102 of wound steel strip 103 at a unwinding station 104.
  • the steel strip 103 enters a punch 105, wherein in the punch from the steel strip, the sheets, for example, for a coil core, are punched out of the band 103.
  • the punched sheets are stacked to stamped parts stacks 106, wherein the stack then enter into an annealing furnace 107. After a defined cycle time at 650 ° C to 750 ° C enter the stamped parts stack 106 in a blast furnace 108.
  • an atmosphere is set in the interior 109, in which the dew point is> 10 ° C and in particular at> 20 ° C, wherein the atmosphere at about 500 ° C temperature is oxidizing.
  • the punching partial stacks are used as a finished product stack 110 out of the Bläuungsofen, wherein the finished products have a mixed layer film of Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 3 O 4 are each approximately half, wherein the film coating thickness is usually 200 nm.
  • the electrical steel is already formed at the steel manufacturer in a continuous process and in particular during the recrystallization annealing in a continuous annealing (continuous annealing) with an insulating layer.
  • the electrical steel actually assumes a blue color, but the insulating layer is much better isolated than a bleached layer.
  • the electrical tapes produced according to the invention have an insulating layer of only 100 nm, this layer being formed substantially entirely of Fe 3 O 4 .
  • the layer contains only very little Fe 2 O 3 , wherein the Fe 3 O 4 obviously is responsible for the insulating performance, because a 100 nm thick according to the invention blued layer better isolated than a conventional blued layer 200 nm thick.
  • the blued electrical steel produced according to the invention can make the usual painting superfluous, which represents a significant cost advantage over painted sheets.
  • the process according to the invention provides for pressurized air to be applied to the electrical steel strip as it enters the final cooling zone in which it has a temperature between 450 ° C. and 500 ° C.
  • an oxygen concentration between 0.05% and 0.2% oxygen measured in the furnace chamber of the final cooling zone is set.
  • the absolute uniformity of the oxide layer achieved is ensured on the one hand by the introduction of the compressed air into the blower housing of the final cooling fan and on the other hand by the belt temperature and the oxygen concentration.
  • the injection of the compressed air and the adjustment of the oxygen content are carried out so that the dew point is set below -40 ° C and a reducing atmosphere.
  • a layer having a significantly lower thickness Fe 3 O 4 content of 90% and more and at the reduced thickness has such a higher insulation capacity, that it can be used without difficulty as a replacement for painted electrical steel sheets.
  • a continuous annealing plant 1 in particular a continuous annealing plant 1 is used.
  • the steel strip 3 is first unwound at a Abhaspelstation 4 and then passed through a belt cleaning system 5 of a covenant 2 from rolled steel strip 3.
  • the steel strip 3 From the belt cleaning equipment 5, the steel strip 3 enters an inlet storage 6.
  • the known inlet storage 6 has the task to equalize the running of the steel strip 3 by the following aggregates, because to ensure a continuous process is at the Abhaspelstation 4 after uncoiling
  • the first steel bundle was unwound from a steel bundle and the front end of the new steel collar was welded to the rear end of the old steel collar in order to pass the new steel strip 3 through the continuous system.
  • the steel strip 3 From the inlet storage 6, the steel strip 3 enters the actual annealing furnace or the actual annealing device 7.
  • the steel strip first passes into a heating and cooling zone 8 and passes from the heating and cooling zone 8 into a so-called over-age zone 9.
  • From the overaging zone 9 passes the steel strip 3 in a final jet cooling zone 10, wherein the strip is introduced at about 450 ° C to 500 ° C from the overaging zone 9 in the final jet cooling zone.
  • the steel strip 3 in the final jet cooling zone, is subjected to pressurized air in corresponding regions 11, the atmosphere 12 or in the interior 12 of both the overaging zone and in the final jet cooling zone having a dew point below -20 ° C., in particular below -40 ° ° C and preferably below -50 ° C is set. Subsequently, the steel strip 3 runs out of the final jet cooling and arrives in a discharge storage 13, which has the task of picking up steel strip 3, while a first steel strip was unwound and the subsequent second Steel strip is separated from the first steel strip to be subsequently rewound.
  • the steel strip 3 passes through a subsequent tempering 14, to then be rewound at a Aufhaspelstation 15 to a coil 16.
  • the invention it is advantageous that the bluing or the production of an insulating oxide layer on the surface of the steel strip for use as an electrical steel strip in a very high uniformity and with a superior quality such that the insulation performance of the oxide layer due to the composition of over 90 % Fe 3 O 4 results in an outstanding insulation performance even with layer runs of only 100 nm.
  • the electrical strip produced according to the invention with an oxide layer support is able to replace painted electrically-coated strips produced considerably more expensive.
