2、n, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.

3、l coils asproduced at the steel mill.1.2 The values and equations stated in customary (cgs-emuand inch-pound) units or SI units are to be regarded separatelyas standard. Within this standard, the SI units are shown inbrackets. The values stated in each system may not be exactequivalents; therefore,

Combining values from the two systems mayresult in nonconformance with this standard.1.3 The following material specifications include require-ments for edge taper or crown: A 677, A 683, A 726, A 840/A 840M, and A 876.1.4 This standard does not p

Edge taper slope (g) is expressed inten thousandths of an inch per inch (ten thousandths of amillimetre per millimetre).3.

9、1.1.1 DiscussionThe variation of thickness from theedge to approximately 4 in. 100 mm from the edge of the coilis called edge taper. The variation of thickness from the centerto the edge is called crown.3.1.1.2 DiscussionEdge taper and crown are not the sameas thickness variation. Thickness variatio

10、n is measured parallelto the rolling direction (although it is loosely defined asvariation in any direction).3.1.2 edge trimmingthe slitting of a narrow strip fromeach edge of the master coil for discard. This reduces the edgetaper gamma on the remainder of the master coil.3.1.3 master coilsfull-wid

11、th coils as produced by cold-rolling mills. Slit coils are narrower width coils slit from amaster coil. A coupon is a full-width piece of the master coil,usually manually cut off for test purposes. A sample strip 1 to4 in. 25 to 102 mm wide is sheared across the width of thecoil from a coupon for th

12、e purpose of measuring edge taper andcrown. This is called a gamma strip because gamma (g)isthesymbol used to quantify edge taper slope or rate of variationwith distance. See Fig. 1.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 In determining the edge taper and crown, a samplegamma strip is taken from the coil head

13、and tail. Thicknessreadings are taken using a micrometer or other measuringdevice along a single line perpendicular to the rolling directionat points38 ,138 ,238 , and 438 in. 10, 35, 60, and 111 mmfrom each edge to determine edge taper and in the center todetermine crown. The readings are recorded,

14、 and variationsbetween the readings calculated. If the edge taper is greater1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A06 onMagnetic Properties and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA06.01 on TestMethods.Current edition approved Dec. 15, 2005.

Significance and Use5.1 Flat-rolled electrical ste

17、el master coils are usually slitinto narrower coils. Usually these slit coils are punched orsheared into laminations of various shapes. The laminations arethen uniformly stacked to become the cores of magneticdevices such as motors and transformers. Uniform stacking ofmany laminations exhibiting exc

18、essive taper causes assemblyproblems and poor appearance. Nonuniform stack lengths inmotors cause imbalance and noise. When the laminations areinterleaved in transformers, taper causes air spaces within thecore resulting in increased noise, exciting current, and coreloss.6. Interference6.1 This test

19、 method assumes that edge taper and crown areconsistent through each individual coil. If different coils arewelded together to make up a finished coil, this may not be thecase. Nevertheless, edge trim can correct for the worst case7. Description of Sample Gamma Strip and EquipmentRequired7.1 A coupo

The shear can befitted with an edge guide or other means to establish a stripperpendicular to the coil edges. Perpendicularity shall bewithin 1. S

Points shall belocated to within 0.032 in. 0.81 mm. See Fig. 3.InF

22、ig. 3,CWis coil width, and CW/2 locates its center. Alternatively, amachine may be constructed that automatically locates all ninepoints on the gamma strip, measures the points, and records/displays the data. If a continuous sequence of measurementsare taken over the length of the strip (thickness p

23、rofile), thenthe specified nine points shall be read from the recorded trace.7.3 A micrometer or other thickness measuring device shallbe provided. The micrometer shall have anvils that are convexwith a radius no less than 0.062 in 1.6 mm. Operation may bemanual or automatic as part of a system of f

Thickness measure-ment device repeatability shall be 100 in. 2.54 m (onprecision gage block).NOTE 1Roughness of the steel sheet surface can affect repeatability.7.4 A data sheet or computer printout shall be provided forentry of thickness rea

Procedure8.1 Measure and record the data for all nine points previ-ously specified.9. Calculation9.1 Edge taper and crown are defined as

26、 the thicknessvariation perpendicular to the rolling direction of the steel coilor sheet. Edge taper gamma is in ten thousandths of an inch perinch ten thousandths of a millimetre per millimetre of width.See Fig. 4.9.2 Calculate edge taper gamma as follows:g5XW Y! 104W,104in./in. (1)g5XW Y!104W,104m

27、m/mm (2)where:g (gamma) = units of edge taper,Xw= thickness at distance W from Y, andY = thickness at38 in. 10 mm from the edge.Thickness is measured at width increments W of 1.00, 2.00,and 4.00 in. 25.4, 50.8, and 102 mm from a point, Y,38 in. 10mm from the edge. These points are labeled X1, X2, an

28、d X4,respectively.9.3 Calculate crown as follows:crown 5 XC Y! 104,104in. 104mm# (3)where:Y = average of the thicknesses38 in. 10 mm from eachedge andXc= thickness at center.The crown is measured at the center of the gamma strip andis substantially the thickest point across its width, CW. Crownis me

29、asured the same way as edge taper except the distance Wcis between measurement points Xcand Y. Generally, crowncauses much smaller gamma values than edge taper.10. Interpretation of Results10.1 Edge taper gamma exceeding agreed upon limits canusually be corrected by edge trimming an amount sufficien

30、t tobring the master coil into specification. Each edge of the mastercoil shall be considered separately for the amount of trim.Aftertrimming, this same method can again be followed.11. Precision and Bias11.1 This test method, although being followed by severalsteel mills and their customers, has no

31、t yet been the subject ofa comparison of the same samples at several laboratories(round robin). However, a computerized instrument that ad-heres to this test method has been in use in at least threelaboratories and supplier laboratories. At the time of prepara-tion of this test method, correlation h

32、as been achieved betweenthree such instruments to 0.0002-in. 5-m tolerance forseveral samples of steel coils. However, no statement ofprecision and bias is made at this time.12.
