Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for producing electromagnetic silicon steel having a cube-on-edge orientation and a permeability of at least 1850 (6/0 at oersteds.
  • Oriented silicon steels containing 2.60 to 4.0% silicon are generally produced by processes which involve hot rolling, a double cold reduction, an anneal before each cold roll and a high temperature texture anneal. Characterizing these steels are permeabilities at 10 oersteds of from about 1790 to 1840 (6/0,).
  • 357,974 describes a process which includes the steps of: preparing a melt of steel consisting essentially of, by weight, up to 0.07% carbon, from 2.6 to 4.0% silicon, from 0.03 to 0.24% manganese, from 0.01 to 0.07% sulfur, from 0.015 to 0.04% aluminum, up to 0.02% nitrogen, from 0.1 to 0.5% copper, balance iron; casting the steel; hot rolling the steel; annealing the steel prior to a final cold roll at a temperature of from 1400" to 2150F; cooling the steel from a temperature below 1700F and about 750F to a temperature at least as low as 500F with a liquid quenching medium or gaseous stream and from its maximum annealing temperature to the temperature below 1700F and above 750F at a rate which is no faster than one wherein the steel is cooled in a static atmosphere or in a continuous processing line where there is some relative motion between the atmosphere and the steel, although the only deliverate motion is that imparted to the steel; and cold rolling the steel at
  • Described herein is another, and improved method for producing silicon steel having a cube-on-edge orientation and a permeability of at least 1850 (6/0 at 10 oersteds. It is primarily based upon the discovery that the melt of application Ser. No. 357,974 can be prepared with selenium replacing part or all of the sulfur contained therein.
  • the present invention provides a method for producing silicon steel having a cube-on-edge orientation and a permeability of at least 1850 (G/O,,) at 10 oersteds. lnvolved therein are the steps of: preparing a melt of silicon steel consisting essentially of, by weight, up to 0.07% carbon, from 2.60 to 4.0% silicon, from 0.03 to 0.24% manganese, at least 0.01% selenium, from 0.01 to 0.09% of material from the group consisting of sulfur and selenium, from 0.015 to 0.04% aluminum, up to 0.02% nitrogen, from 0.1 to 0.5% copper, balance iron; casting the steel; hot rolling the steel into a hot rolled band; subjecting the steel to at least one cold rolling; subjecting the steel to final annealing prior to the final cold rolling; decarburizing the steel; and final texture annealing the steel. Aslo included, and significantly so,
  • the steel melt must include silicon, aluminum, manganese and selenium. Silicon is necessary as it increases the steels resistivity, decreases its magnetostriction, decreases its magnetocrystalline anisotropy and hence decreases its core loss. Aluminum, manganese and selenium are necessary as they form inhibitors which are essential for controlling the steels orientation and its properties which are dependent thereon. More specifically, aluminum combines with nitrogen in the steel or from the atmosphere, to form aluminum nitride; and manganese combines with selenium, and possibly copper, to form manganese selenide and/or manganese copper selenide, and with sulfur if it is present, to form manganese sulfide and/or manganese copper sulfide.
  • Copper noted above for its presence in manganese inhibitors, can also be beneficial during processing. It is hypothesized that copper can lower the annealing temperature, lower the temperature from which the rapid cool can occur, improve rollability, simplify melting, and relax annealing atmosphere requirements. Moreover, copper increases the steels resistivity and decreases its core loss.
  • a steel in which the process of the present invention is particularly adaptable to consists essentially of, by weight, from 0.02 to 0.0 7% carbon, from 2.65 to 3.25% silicon, from 0.05 to 0.20% manganese, at least 0.02% selenium, from 0.02 to 0.07% of material from the group consisting of sulfur and selenium, from 0.015 to 0.04% aluminum, from 0.0030 to 0.0090% nitrogen, from 0.1 to 0.4% copper, balance iron.
  • This steel has its chemistry balanced so as to produce a highly beneficial structure when processed according to the present invention.
  • inhibitors are aluminum nitride
  • compounds of said steel is cooled from a temperature below 1600F manganese selenide and possibly manganese sulfide. and above 1000F to a temperature at least as low as No criticality is placed upon the particular annealing 500F with a liquid quenching medium or gaseous atmosphere.
  • Illustrative atmosphere therefore include stream and from its maximum annealing temperature nitrogen; reducing gases such as hydrogen; inert gases to said temperature below 1600F and above l000F at such as argon; air; and mixtures thereof.
