Quality logging system
Cogent Power Ltd is continuously developing
processing systems to provide customers with
products of enhanced quality. A part of this
development is the unique, computerized, Annealing and pickling line
quality logging system at Surahammars
Bruks AB, based on continuous monitoring of
the processing variables. Large quantities of
measured data for each coil are stored in a
database and are available on demand in
graphical or numerical form.

A computer on each production line collects Cold rolling mill

and displays process information to the line
operators. Parameters such as line speed,
furnace temperatures and continuous strip
thickness are continuously logged. Included in
the system is a continuous measurement of
loss along the length of the annealed strip.
Although this is not an absolute and
standardised method, it provides valuable Annealing and coating line
information on the quality of the material.

The logged data is instantly available for users

Server
in, for example, Production, Maintenance,
Quality and TR&D departments so that line
performance and product quality can be
analysed in order to improve the processes
and products. The general structure of the
system also makes it possible to collate data
such as hot rolling parameters from feedstock Office and plant PC network
suppliers. The flexibility of the system enables
the user to perform anything from an instant
check on the quality of a particular coil to a
detailed analysis over a large number of coils
and their processing parameters.

Guaranteed magnetic properties at 60 Hz

Cogent non-oriented fully processed electrical performed according to the 25 cm Epstein

steels are graded according to ASTM A677.
A comparison with previous designations and
other international standards is included on
page 15.
The measurement of specific core loss is
frame method described in ASTM A343.
Half of the sample strips are taken in the
rolling direction and half in the transverse
direction. Samples are not stress relief annea-
led after shearing.

The guaranteed loss of the grade differs from the old AISI standard.

Ageing
Cogent non-oriented fully processed electrical
steels are free from magnetic ageing.
Ageing, or the increase of power loss with
time, is caused by an excessive carbon content
in the steel. The carbon content is continuously
monitored by state-of-the-art analytical
equipment to ensure freedom from ageing.
Magnetic test samples are given a rapid
ageing treatment by heating at 437°F ±9°F for
a duration of 24 hours and cooling to ambient
temperature before testing, according to
European and International standards.
All typical data refer to aged samples.

Coatings
The surface of Cogent non-oriented fully
processed electrical steel is clean, smooth and has
a very thin layer of oxide. To improve surface
insulation resistance, grades are normally supplied
with insulating coatings. Coatings have differing
properties and the thickness can be varied,
normally ranging from 40 to 120 µinch.
All coatings have excellent adherence and
will withstand normal punching operations.
Cogent coatings provide some corrosion
resistance and have only a marginal effect on
stacking factor.
The schematic diagrams below provide an
indication of how coating properties are related
and how they depend upon thickness and type
of coating.

National and international standards
Electrical steels are designated according to
the guaranteed maximum core loss at a peak
magnetization of 1.5 T and 60 Hz.
In the table on page 13, Cogents’ present
grades are compared with previous
designations and International standards.

ASTM American Society for Testing and Materials

AISI American Iron and Steel Institute
EN European Standard
IEC International Electrotechnical Commission
JIS Japanese Industrial Standard
GOST National Standard of the USSR

Standards usually include other magnetic

requirements (eg for minimum magnetic
polarization). Such requirements are excluded
in this comparison.
AISI standards for electrical steels expired
many years ago, but the designations of the
old AISI standard are still frequently used and
therefore included in the comparison on
page 13.
The European standard EN 10106 has
been implemented as National Standard in all
countries of the European Union, as well as in
Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
Many national and international standards
are based on metric units and a test frequency European and other metric standard
of 50 Hz. There is no exact conversion of loss thicknesses differ from the American standard,
data from 60 Hz to 50 Hz, but the following particularly at 0.0185 inch (please refer to
approximate relationships may be used for page 9 for further information):
losses at 1.5 T:
American Metric
0.0140 inch (0.36 mm) 0.0138 inch (0.35 mm)
(W/lb at 60 Hz) = 0.56 (for 0.0140 inch grades) 0.0185 inch (0.47 mm) 0.0197 inch (0.50 mm)
= 0.57 (for 0.0185 inch grades) 0.0250 inch (0.64 inch) 0.0256 inch (0.65 mm)

Stress relief annealing
Cogent non-oriented fully processed electrical
steels are supplied finally annealed with fully
developed magnetic properties and are
normally used without stress relief annealing.
Stress zone
Deformation zone
Stress zones at the cut edge (section).
To make best use of low core loss of the
steel, edge deformation zones and burrs
should be minimised during the laminating
process by using sharp tools, preferably those
which are highly wear-resistant such as
tungsten carbide. The additional cost of
annealing for improvement of magnetic
properties can normally only be justified for
very narrow laminations.
Some aspects of stress relief annealing
procedures are given in the Cogent Grain
Oriented electrical steels brochure. For stress
relief annealing, uncoated or SURALAC 7000
coated steel should be used.

Applications
Cogent grades cover a wide range of
properties. Since the materials are fully
processed the properties are fully developed
in the ‘as supplied’ condition. From the
magnetic viewpoint, different grades are
characterised, primarily, by values of power
loss and permeability. An increasing alloy
content (mainly silicon and aluminium)
increases electrical resistivity of the steel and
thus reduces power loss. On the other hand,
an increased alloy content results in reduced
magnetic saturation and reduced permeability
at medium and high field strengths
(H >1000 A/m).
Generally, higher permeability is more
important for smaller machines whereas
power losses are of greater importance for
large machines. Grades of lower alloy content
with higher losses, higher permeability and
lower cost, are therefore mainly used for small
machines. Grades of high alloy content with
low losses, lower permeability and higher cost
are used for large machines. There are,
however, many exceptions to this.
The table lists examples of suitable Cogent grades for various applications.
