  • Patent number: 4997493
    Abstract: In the conventional process for the production of a double-oriented electrical steel sheet, the preparation steps are complicated and the manufacturing cost is very high. Nevertheless, the magnetization characteristic B.sub.10 is lower than 1.85 Tesla and the final sheet thickness cannot be reduced below 0.30 mm. According to the present invention, by strictly controlling the secondary recrystallization temperature and performing a third cold rolling in the same direction as the rolling direction of the first cold rolling, the magnetization characteristic B.sub.10 can be increased above 1.88 Tesla and the final sheet thickness can be reduced to 0.20 mm. Moreover, a double-oriented electrical steel sheet having an excellent shape (flatness) and a much smaller thickness deviation in the longitudinal direction of the product can be produced on an industrial scale. Therefore, this product can be effectively used as a core material of a large-size rotary machine or in a small-size static magneto-electronic device.

  • Patent number: 4808642
    Abstract: This invention relates to a chlorine-containing resin molding characterized by its stabilization by aminocarboxylic acid and from which molding substantially no metallic ion is detected, and to material for use with the chlorine-containing resin molding consisting of 100 parts by weight of chlorine-containing resin and 0.5-5.0 parts by weight of aminocarbolyxic acid. According to the molding and the material for use therewith, there is no possibility of metallic ion dissolving from the molding in which a metallic stabilizer is conventionally used, with the result that the molding finds wide application in the industrial field related with electric parts including a semiconductor as a main item, medical treatment, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and food stuffs, all subject to adverse effects by dissolution of metallic ion. Consideration for application of a nonmetallic agent is also given to the use of a coloring agent and a lubricant with respect to the molding and the material for use therewith.

  • Patent number: 4623406
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet.A feature of the present invention is to set S.ltoreq.0.007%, Mn=0.08.about.0.45%, P=0.015.about.0.45% in a slab. The present inventive idea does away with the conventional concept of using MnS as an inhibitor. The present invention present incomplete secondary recrystallization by the S content, which is decreased to a level as low as possible. In addition, a product having a high magnetic flux density can be successfully produced by adding appropriate amounts of Mn and P. Due to these advantages a high Si content of a slab, which leads to a watt loss reduction, can also be employed in the present invention. Furthermore, the watt loss of a product produced by a low-temperature slob-heating is considerably lower than a product produced by a high-temperature slab-heating.

  • Patent number: 4592789
    Abstract: In conventional processes for producing a grain-oriented electromagnetic steel strip or sheet, the carbon and silicon content of the starting material is such that .alpha.-.gamma. transformation takes place, said transformation formerly being belived to play an important role in, for example, the formation of AlN. Recently, attempts have been made to reduce the carbon content so as to simplify decarburization-annealing, but these attempts have not been successful.In the present invention, (1) an extremely low carbon content (C.ltoreq.0.02%) and an extremely low sulfur content (S.ltoreq.0.015%), as well as a low heating temperature of the starting material, and (2) a temperature gradient of at least 2.degree. C. per centimeter, which is generated parallel to the sheet surface and under which the growth of secondary recrystallized grains is completed, are combined. As a result of such combination, the following advantages are attained: (1) secondary recrystallization is attained without .alpha.-.gamma.

  • Patent number: 4563226
    Abstract: Conventionally, the silicon content of a grain-oriented electrical steel is approximately 3% at the maximum, since cold-rolling is difficult if the silicon content is high. Although conventional warm-rolling can occasionally mitigate the poor workability of a silicon steel having a high silicon content, it is impossible to control the texture of a cold-rolled strip and to completely prevent brittleness.The present invention provides a novel rolling method in which, due to the heating of a steel strip prior to the carrying out of cold-rolling, a desirable texture can be formed and rupture of the cold-rolled strip can be prevented. The strip is heated to within a temperature range, in which both the minimum temperature which is at least 200.degree. C. and at least equal to T.sub.L (.degree.C.)=(x-3.0).sup.2 .times.100, x being the silicon content in weight percent, and the maximum temperature which temperature range being is not more than 400.degree. C. and not more than T.sub.H (.degree.C.)=-200.times.

  • Patent number: 4437910
    Abstract: In the secondary recrystallization of a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet, a specific temperature gradient is generated, thereby developing the secondary recrystallized grains having a good (110) [001] orientation and increasing the magnetic flux density higher than that previousy obtained. The temperature gradient is established at the boundary region between the primary and secondary recrystallized regions, with the result that highly oriented (110) [001] secondary recrystallization nuclei preferentially are caused to develop.

  • Patent number: 4437909
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet or strip, wherein the crystals of the steel sheet or strip have an orientation of {110}<001> and, further, the steel is easily magnetized in the rolling direction.Since the slab-heating temperature for a grain-oriented silicon steel is considerably higher than that for low carbon steel grades, coarsening of the crystal grains is likely to occur during heating, and the coarse crystal grains are elongated during hot-rolling in the rolling direction and remain in the hot-rolled steel sheet as portions of the grain-oriented silicon steel strip or sheet, where secondary recrystallization becomes incomplete, or as so-called streaks.It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel hot-rolling technique capable of preventing the generation of streaks and capable of enhancing the magnetic flux density of the final product in terms of the B.sub.

  • Patent number: 4406715
    Abstract: In a process for the production of a grain-oriented electromagnetic steel strip, a slab is heated, hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and subjected to a decarburization annealing and secondary recrystallization annealing steps. Grain coarsening is likely to occur during the high temperature heating and remain in the final product as streaks. The secondary recrystallization is, therefore, incomplete due to the streaks. In order to remove this disadvantage, the work piece is subjected to at least two rolling passes, wherein the high circumferential speed roll of one pair of the rolls and the low circumferential speed roll of another pair of the rolls are arranged on the same side of the work piece.
