The present study introduces a fairly innovative technological approach applicable for fully finished NO electrical steel before punching the laminations. It is based on specific mechanical processing by bending and rolling in combination with subsequent annealing under dynamic heating conditions. It has been revealed that the proposed unconventional treatment clearly led to effective improvement of the steel magnetic properties thanks to its beneficial effects involving additional grain growth with appropriate crystallographic orientation and residual stress relief. The philosophy of the proposed processing was based on employing the phenomena of selective grain growth by strain-induced grain boundary migration and a steep temperature gradient through the cross-section of heat treated specimens at dynamic heating conditions. The stored deformation energy necessary for the grain growth was provided by plastic deformation induced within the studied specimens during the bending and rolling process.

  • 3% Silicon Steel Core Material
    3% Silicon Steel Core Material (Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel) datasheet 3% (Grain-Oriented) Silicon Steel is a soft magnetic material that is best used in electrical power transformers and inductors. It has a silicon content up to 3.2 mass %, which increases the electrical resistivity and reduces eddy current losses. The magnetic properties can be enhanced during a cold rolling stage (along the length) to produce textured sheets, known as grain-oriented electrical steel. Due to its preferred crystallographic orientation, it is used primarily for non-rotating applications, i.e. transformers and inductors. Typical operating frequency of 3% Silicon Steel is 50-60 Hz (hertz). A variety of forms can be manufactured, including lamination, toroidal and C-cores, as well as glued block cores of various shapes by cutting or pressing.

We have come to expect reliability in our electronic system. Yes, repairs are required, but when you add up all the electronic gadgets in our homes and businesses it's a miracle that service isn't needed more often. Banking, vending, identification and security are some of the most important systems in our lives, and it is critical that they work smoothly. Some of the cards we use in these systems are subject to reliability problems depending on the material used in their tape. The standard magnetic tape that is used on many bank cards are made with iron oxide, effectively rust. The magnetism needed to erase this medium is called coercive force. Units of coercivity are named Oersted. The coercivity of the iron oxide tape used in banking and many other application is 300 Oersted. Ordinary magnets with which we come into contact can easily erase this tape. The magnets that are sometimes used to hold messages onto our refrigerators fall into this category. Some handbags/wallets have magnetic latches that can be a problem. Magnetic force falls off rapidly as the card distance from the offending magnet is increased. It's unlikely that an ordinary magnet kept at least 10 to 15mm from the stripe will damage the tape.

  • MAGNETORESISTIVE (MR) HEADS and the EARLIEST MR HEAD-BASED DISK DRIVES: SAWMILL and CORSAIR Christopher H
    MAGNETORESISTIVE (MR) HEADS AND THE EARLIEST MR HEAD-BASED DISK DRIVES: SAWMILL AND CORSAIR Christopher H. Bajorek, Storage Interest Group Computer History Museum, Mountain View, CA (Updated November, 2014) Why it is Important Hard disk drives (HDDs) have survived as the information storage device of choice because of the sustained and steep advances achieved in storage density. Density advances required downward scaling of the key components. The resulting smaller head-disk spacing and reduced magnetic fields from the disk were the key technology challenges. The reduction in the size of stored bits caused signal amplitude reductions which necessitated the invention of more powerful detectors. Magnetoresistive (MR) heads were the successful answer. These new film heads, together with new film disks, provided successful components for future HDDs up to the present time. They solved the joint challenge of ultra small signals and ever-reduced spacing of the heads and disks. Since 1990, this combination improved data density, with concomitant cost per bit reductions, by approximately 20,000 times. Two companies led the industry in independently developing MR heads, IBM and HP. IBM was first to market in 1990. HP was second in 1994. Seagate also benefited from the HP heads since 1995. The rest of the industry started using MR heads in 1996. Magnetoresistive (MR) Heads Prior to 1990, all hard disk drives used the same inductive head for reading and writing. The readback signal amplitude from an inductive head is proportional to the magnetic flux captured from a stored bit, to the number of turns of wire wrapped on the head, and to the velocity at which the head flies on the disk.

The These non oriented electrical steels are Cogent Power Inc., in Burlington, Ontario, is a specialist product range from Cogent Electrical principally used for motors, generators, world leader in the design and manufacture of Steels ranges from high permeability grain alternators, small transformers and a variety of transformer cores and components, including oriented steels for power transformers to fully other electromagnetic applications. Thin distributed gap cores, toroidal cores and flat- processed silicon steels for all sizes of rotating gauge materials are also available which offer stacked cores. Cogent Power Inc. also makes machines, including thin gauge materials for the superior performance required for high amorphous cores. Cogent Power Inc. has a high speed machines operating at medium to frequency applications, such as hybrid car high quality slitting operation for electrical high frequencies. motors, flywheels and harmonic filters. The full steels, used to support its own business and product range is marketed worldwide direct or also to supply a range of grades across Electrical steels are manufactured on two sites: through the Tata Steel International global North America.

  • Magnetic Materials: Hysteresis
    Magnetic Materials: Hysteresis Ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials have non-linear initial magnetisation curves (i.e. the dotted lines in figure 7), as the changing magnetisation with applied field is due to a change in the magnetic domain structure. These materials also show hysteresis and the magnetisation does not return to zero after the application of a magnetic field. Figure 7 shows a typical hysteresis loop; the two loops represent the same data, however, the blue loop is the polarisation (J = µoM = B-µoH) and the red loop is the induction, both plotted against the applied field. Figure 7: A typical hysteresis loop for a ferro- or ferri- magnetic material. Illustrated in the first quadrant of the loop is the initial magnetisation curve (dotted line), which shows the increase in polarisation (and induction) on the application of a field to an unmagnetised sample. In the first quadrant the polarisation and applied field are both positive, i.e. they are in the same direction. The polarisation increases initially by the growth of favourably oriented domains, which will be magnetised in the easy direction of the crystal. When the polarisation can increase no further by the growth of domains, the direction of magnetisation of the domains then rotates away from the easy axis to align with the field. When all of the domains have fully aligned with the applied field saturation is reached and the polarisation can increase no further. If the field is removed the polarisation returns along the solid red line to the y-axis (i.e. H=0), and the domains will return to their easy direction of magnetisation, resulting in a decrease in polarisation.
