Magnetic materials - Classification of surface insulations of electrical steel sheet, strip and laminations

This document establishes a classification of surface insulations for electrical steel sheet, strip and laminations according to their general composition, relative insulating ability and function.
These surface insulations are either oxide layers or applied coatings.
The purpose of this classification is to create a nomenclature for the various types of surface insulations and to assist users of surface insulations by providing general information about the chemical nature and use of the surface insulations.
It is not the intent of this classification to specify insulation requirements in terms of specific values of surface insulation resistance. Such requirements are to be agreed between the purchaser and the steel producer, where applicable.
The classification is to be used in conjunction with the various specifications for cold rolled electrical steels (see Clause 2).

Magnetische Werkstoffe - Einteilung der Isolationen auf Elektroblech und ‑band und daraus gefertigten Stanzteilen

In diesem Dokument wird eine Einteilung der Isolationen für Elektroblech und -band und daraus gefertigte Stanzteile vorgenommen. Diese Einteilung erfolgt auf Grundlage der allgemeinen chemischen Zusammensetzung der Isolationen, der relativen Isolierfähigkeit sowie des Einsatzgebietes.
Diese Isolationen sind entweder Oxidschichten oder aufgetragene Beschichtungen.
Zweck dieser Einteilung ist, eine Nomenklatur für verschiedene Isolationstypen zu schaffen und den Anwender durch die Bereitstellung allgemeiner Informationen über die chemische Zusammensetzung und Einsatzmöglichkeiten bei der Auswahl der Isolationen zu unterstützen.
Diese Einteilung hat nicht zum Ziel, für die Isolationsanforderungen spezifische Werte zum Isolations-widerstand festzulegen. Gegebenenfalls müssen diese Anforderungen zwischen dem Besteller und dem Stahl¬hersteller vereinbart werden.
Die Einteilung ist in Verbindung mit den verschiedenen Normen für kaltgewalztes Elektroblech und -band (siehe Abschnitt 2) zu nutzen.

Matériaux magnétiques - Classification des isolations de surface des tôles, bandes et lamelles magnétiques en acier

Le présent document établit une classification des isolations de surface des tôles, bandes et lamelles en acier électrique en fonction de leur composition générale, leur aptitude relative à l'isolement et leur fonction.
Ces isolations de surface sont soit des couches d'oxyde soit des revêtements appliqués.
L'objectif de cette classification est de créer une nomenclature pour les différents types d'isolations de surface et d'aider les utilisateurs d'isolations de surface en fournissant des informations générales sur la nature chimique et l'utilisation des isolations de surface.
L'intention de cette classification n'est pas de spécifier des exigences relatives à l'isolation en termes de valeurs spécifiques de résistance d’isolation de surface. De telles exigences sont à convenir entre l'acheteur et le producteur d'acier, le cas échéant.
La classification est à utiliser conjointement avec les diverses spécifications pour les aciers électriques laminés à froid (voir l'Article 2).

1 Scope
This document establishes a classification of surface insulations for electrical steel sheet, strip and
laminations according to their general composition, relative insulating ability and function.
These surface insulations are either oxide layers or applied coatings.
The purpose of this classification is to create a nomenclature for the various types of surface insulations

4 Classification of surface insulations of electrical steel, strip and laminations
Table 1 specifies the classification of surface insulations of electrical steel sheet, strip and laminations.
Table 1 — Classification of surface insulation of electrical steel, strip and laminations
Insulation
Insulation description – Characteristics – Typical application, limits of use
designation
EC-0 An oxide layer that is formed naturally on the steel surface during electrical steel
manufacture. This oxide layer is thin, tightly adherent and provides sufficient surface
insulation resistance for many types of small cores.
This oxide layer will withstand normal stress relief annealing temperatures.
If subjected to a user’s anneal after stamping, the surface insulation resistance of this
oxide layer may be affected by the oxidizing potential of the anneal.

It is not appropriate to specify the surface insulation resistance for this type of
insulation.
