United States13.1.1.3 edge taper gamma ()the slope of the edge taper (a dimensionless number) expressed in ten thousandths of a unit perunit.3.1.2 edge trimmingthe slitting of a narrow strip from each edge of the master coil for

17、discard. This reduces the edge tapergamma on the remainder of the coil.3.1.3 gamma stripa 1 to 4 in. 25 to 102 mm strip cut across the full width of the master coil (or master coil coupon), forthe purpose of measuring edge taper and crown.3.1.4 master coilsfull-width coils as produced by cold-rollin

18、g mills. Slit coils are narrower width coils slit from a master coil.A master coil coupon is a full-width piece of the master coil, usually manually cut off for test purposes.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 In determining the edge taper and crown, a gamma strip is taken from the coil head and tail. Thi

19、ckness readings are takenusing a micrometer or other measuring device along a single line perpendicular to the rolling direction at points 38, 138, 238, and438 in. 10, 35, 60, and 111 mm from each edge to determine edge taper and in the center to determine crown. The readings arerecorded, and variat

20、ions between the readings calculated. If the edge taper is greater than specified, edge trimming can beperformed to meet the limits agreed upon between the producer and the user.5. Significance and Use5.1 Flat-rolled electrical steel master coils are usually slit into narrower coils. Usually these s

21、lit coils are punched or shearedinto laminations of various shapes. The laminations are then uniformly stacked to become the cores of magnetic devices such asmotors and transformers. Stacking of many laminations exhibiting excessive taper causes assembly problems and poor appearance.Nonuniform stack

22、 lengths in motors cause imbalance and noise. When the laminations are interleaved in transformers, taper causesair spaces within the core resulting in increased noise, increased exciting current, and higher core loss.6. Interference6.1 This test method assumes that edge taper and crown are consiste

23、nt through each individual coil. If different coils are weldedtogether to make up a finished coil, this may not be the case. Nevertheless, edge trim can be used to correct for inconsistencies.7. Description of Gamma Strip and Equipment Required7.1 A coupon is cut from head and tail ends of the maste

24、r coil. A shear in good working condition with sufficient capacity isused to cut a gamma strip from the coupon. The shear can be fitted with an edge guide or other means to establish a stripperpendicular to the coil edges. Perpendicularity shall be within 1. See Fig. 2.7.2 Means for locating and mar

25、king the gamma strip measurement points shall be provided. A template can be made that willquickly locate for marking the test points from each edge. The center point can be located with a scale. Points shall be located towithin 0.032 in. 0.81 mm. See Fig. 3. Alternatively, a machine may be construc

26、ted that automatically locates all nine points onthe gamma strip, measures the points, and records/displays the data. If a continuous sequence of measurements are taken over thelength of the strip (thickness profile), then the specified nine points shall be read from the recorded data.7.3 Amicromete

27、r or other thickness measuring device shall be provided. The micrometer shall have anvils that are convex witha radius no less than 0.062 inin. 1.6 mm. Operation may be manual or automatic as part of a system of fixtures, gaging devices,and data acquisition instruments. Thickness measurement device

28、repeatability shall be 100 in. 2.54 m (on precision gageblock).NOTE 1Roughness of the steel sheet surface can affect repeatability.FIG. 1 Typical Steel Mill Coil Thickness Profile across Width of CoilA971/A971M 1727.4 A data sheet or computer printout shall be provided for entry of thickness reading

Calculation9.1 Calculate edge taper gamma as follows:5XW 2 Y!W 104 (1)where: (gamma) = edge taper gamma,Xw = thickness at distance W from Y, in in. mm, andY = thickne

These points are labeled X1 ,X2, and X4, respectively.9.2 Calculate crown as follows (see Fig. 4):crown5XC 2 Y (2)wher

Interpretation of Results10.1 Edge taper gamma exceeding agreed upon limits can usually be corrected by edge trimming an amount sufficient to bringthe coil into specification. Each edge of the

34、coil shall be considered separately for the amount of trim. After trimming, this samemethod can again be followed.11. Precision and Bias11.1 This test method, although being followed by several steel mills and their customers, has not yet been the subject of acomparison of the same samples at severa

35、l laboratories (round robin). However, a computerized instrument that adheres to this testmethod has been in use in at least three laboratories and supplier laboratories. At the time of preparation of this test method,correlation has been achieved between three such instruments to 0.0002-in. 5-m tol

36、erance for several samples of steel coils.However, no statement of precision and bias is made at this time.12.
