Effects of RE on Precipitation Behaviors of the Inclusions and Magnetic Properties of Non-Oriented Electrical Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effects of RE addition on deoxidation and desulphurization efficiency, precipitation behaviors of the inclusions, microstructure and magnetic properties of the finished sheets have been investigated for no-oriented electrical steel produced in industrial scale. The most suitable addition amount of RE alloy added in the electrical steel bearing is proposed for excellent deoxidation and desulphurization efficiency. RE added into the steel can form larger and higher melt point RE oxides, RE sulfides and RE oxysulfides inclusions removing from the bath by floating which decreases the numbers and increases the size of the fine inclusions. The average size of the inclusions remained in the steel is 0.8μm~1.4μm. RE content affects grain size by influencing number and size of fine inclusions in the finished steel sheets. The magnetic flux density of the finished steel sheets dereases with the increase of RE content while the lowest core loss of it has an optimum RE content in the steel. In the steel bearing 1.15wt% Si, the content of RE should be strictly controlled in the range from 20×10-4 wt% to 60×10-4 wt%.
