| Abstract Scope |
Electrical steels are extensively used as a soft magnetic material for energy conversion because of their superior magnetic properties and ease of manufacturing. In recent years, production of 6.5 wt% Si electrical steels becomes attractive due to reduction in energy losses. Processing high-Si steel through conventional route is extremely difficult due to the increased brittleness induced by formation of intermetallic phases. Currently, 6.5 wt% Si steels have been produced commercially through chemical vapor deposition; however, the production process is complex and poses several health hazards. In this study, a high-Si steel has been produced by dipping a 3.2 wt% Si non-oriented electrical steel in a molten hypo-eutectic bath of Al-Si followed by high-temperature diffusion annealing. The microstructure and texture evolution during the thermo-mechanical processing, hot dipping and diffusion annealing was studied. The core loss was measured using a single sheet tester and was correlated with the obtained microstructure and texture. |
