Method for producing a non-grain oriented electrical steel strip or sheet and a non-grain oriented electrical steel strip or sheet produced according to this method

摘要

Non-grain-oriented electrical steel strips or electrical steel sheets for electrotechnical applications may be produced from a steel that, in addition to iron and unavoidable impurities, contains the following in percent by weight: 2.0-4.5% Si, 0.03-0.3% Zr, up to 2.0% Al, up to 1.0% Mn, up to 0.01% C, up to 0.01% N, up to 0.001% S, up to 0.015% P. Moreover, in some examples, a microstructure of the electrical steel strip or sheet may contain ternary FeSiZr precipitates. The ternary FeSiZr precipitates in the microstructure increase the strength of non-grain-oriented electrical steel strips or sheets produced from steel by precipitation or particle hardening without having a significant influence on electromagnetic properties. In addition, example methods for producing such electrical steel strips and electrical steel sheets are disclosed.
