16、sting :6.1.1 These fully processed electrical steels may be made bybasic-oxygen, electric-furnace, or other steelmaking practice.6.1.2 These electrical steels are characterized by lowcarbon, usually less than 0.020 %. The principal alloyingelement is commonly silicon, but aluminum up to about 0.8 %i

17、s sometimes used instead of or in addition to silicon, depend-ing on mill-processing practice for the desired magnetic grade.Individual producers will often have different silicon or alumi-num contents for a particular grade because of intrinsicmill-processing procedures.6.1.3 Sulfur content is typi

18、cally less than 0.025 % and isusually lowest in the numbered types representing lowest coreloss. Manganese is typically present in amounts between 0.10and 0.40 %. Phosphorus, copper, nickel, chromium,molybdenum, antimony, and tin are usually present only inresidual amounts except in the higher numbe

19、red core-loss typesin which phosphorus up to 0.15 % and tin or antimony up to0.10 % may be present.6.1.4 The producer is not required to report chemicalcomposition of each lot except when a clear need for suchinformation has been shown.

34、eatest for thicker gages and when thesurface is smooth, uncoated, and without significant amountsof oxide. Lamination factors can be determined using TestMethod A719/A719M. Typical values of lamination factor aregiven in Appendix X1.9.2 DuctilityThe material shall be as ductile as possible.When requ

37、ns10.1 ThicknessSpecified thickness should be one of thecommon thicknesses as follows:Thickness, in. (mm)0.0140 (0.36)0.0185 (0.47)0.0250 (0.64)10.2 Thickness VariationsThe average thickness of thematerial supplied shall be as close as possible to the orderedthickness. Measurements made with a conta

38、cting micrometerat points no closer than38 in. (10 mm) from the edge of a sheetor coil of specified width shall not differ from the specifiedthickness by more than the values (which include taper) shownin Table 2.10.3 TaperThe rolling of flat-rolled sheets inherentlyproduces an edge which is thinner

39、 than the rest of the sheet.This characteristic is termed “tapered edge,” “feather,” orgamma and occurs primarily within 1 to 2 in. (25 to 51 mm)from the as-rolled edge of the material. The thickness variationinvolved in edge taper sometimes is the major portion of thetotal overall thickness variati

It may be expected that the followinglimits on the differences in thickness measured along a straightline perpendicular to the mill edge within the first 2 in. (50mm) or less from either edge of

It shall not exceed116 in. (1.6 mm)per 6 in. (152 mm) of width or fraction thereof.11. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance11.1 Fl

44、atnessAdequately defining the degree of flatnessnecessary for the general application of fully processed elec-trical steel sheets is extremely difficult; therefore, no specificlimits for flatness have been established.11.1.1 It is intended that flatness shall be suitable for theintended application,

45、 and consequently, the user should informthe producer of any requirements for a degree of flatness morecritical than that obtained from usual commercial practices.Processes used to improve flatness may affect magnetic andmechanical properties.11.1.2 Commercial practices recognize that sharp, shortwa

46、ves and buckles are objectionable.11.1.3 Procedures for judging the degree of critical flatnessnecessary shall be subject to negotiation between user andproducer.11.2 Surface ImperfectionsThe surface shall be reason-ably clean and essentially free of manufacturing defects such asholes, blisters, sli

The test lot shall not exceed 20 000 lb (9100 kg)in weight.12.2 Test samples shall be obtained after final
