PROCESS OF ULTRAFAST THERMICAL TREATMENT OF ELECTROSTEEL WITH ORIENTED STRUCTURE

Ultra-rapid annealing of grain oriented electrical steel to a temperature prior to the final high temperature anneal results in improved texture and smaller secondary grain size. The ultra-rapid anneal requires heating the strip to a temperature above about 677 DEG C (1250 DEG F) at a rate above 100...

More Information
Summary:Ultra-rapid annealing of grain oriented electrical steel to a temperature prior to the final high temperature anneal results in improved texture and smaller secondary grain size. The ultra-rapid anneal requires heating the strip to a temperature above about 677 DEG C (1250 DEG F) at a rate above 100 DEG C per second (180 DEG F per second). The ultra-rapid anneal is performed after the first stage of cold rolling and prior to or as part of the decarburization anneal. The material will survive a subsequent stress relief anneal and may be further improved by various domain treatments. The ultra-rapid anneal increases productivity and produces improved core loss properties.
