Magnetic materials - Part 12: Methods of test for the assessment of the thermal endurance of surface insulation coatings on electrical steel strip and sheet

IEC 60404-12:2023 is applicable to surface insulation coatings on electrical steel strip and sheet classified in IEC 60404-1-1. This document defines the general principles and technical details of the tests for the assessment of the thermal endurance of surface insulation coatings on electrical steel strip and sheet. The assessment is made by evaluating the change of a specified property of the surface insulation coating due to a heat treatment at a specified temperature up to 850 °C for a specified duration time up to 2 500 h. The specified property is measured at an ambient temperature of (23 ± 5) °C both without heat treatment and after heat treatment. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:  the method of test for adhesion has been modified to match to the method of bend test specified in ISO 1519 using a cylindrical mandrel of 32 mm in diameter instead of the 30 mm diameter mandrel specified in the first edition; the method of test for interlaminar insulation resistance has been modified to match to the method specified in IEC 60404-11 and the modified Franklin test has been removed; the method of test for compressibility has been modified to match to the method of test for stacking factor specified in IEC 60404-13; the concept of "resistance grades" has been removed; the clamping pressure to be used at temperature ratings above 500 °C has been reduced to (0,01 ± 0,001) N/mm2; the testing for continuous exposure has been made a subject to an agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser and the procedure has been moved to an informative Annex A.

Matériaux magnétiques - Partie 12: Méthodes d’essai pour l'évaluation de l’endurance thermique des revêtements isolants superficiels des bandes et tôles en acier électrique

L’IEC 60404-12:2023 s'applique aux revêtements isolants superficiels des bandes et tôles en acier électrique classées dans l’IEC 60404-1-1. Le présent document définit les principes généraux et les éléments techniques des essais relatifs à l’évaluation de l’endurance thermique des revêtements isolants superficiels des bandes et tôles en acier électrique. L'évaluation consiste à apprécier la variation d’une propriété spécifiée du revêtement isolant superficiel du fait d’un traitement thermique à une température spécifiée allant jusqu’à 850 °C pendant une durée spécifiée maximale de 2 500 h. La propriété spécifiée est mesurée à une température ambiante de (23 ± 5) °C sans traitement thermique et après un traitement thermique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:  la méthode d'essai d’adhérence a été modifiée afin de correspondre à la méthode d’essai de pliage spécifiée dans l’ISO 1519, qui utilise un mandrin cylindrique d’un diamètre de 32 mm en lieu et place du mandrin d’un diamètre de 30 mm spécifié dans la première édition; la méthode d’essai de résistance d'isolation interlaminaire a été modifiée afin de correspondre à la méthode spécifiée dans l’IEC 60404-11 et l’essai de Franklin modifié a été supprimé; la méthode d’essai de compressibilité a été modifiée afin de correspondre à la méthode d’essai du facteur de foisonnement spécifiée dans l’IEC 60404-13; le concept de "niveaux de résistance" a été supprimé; la pression de serrage à utiliser à des températures assignées supérieures à 500 °C a été réduite à (0,01 ± 0,001) N/mm2; L’essai d’exposition continue a fait l’objet d’un accord entre le fabricant et l’acheteur et la procédure a été déplacée vers une Annexe A informative.

FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international

co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and

in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,

Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their

preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with

may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising

with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between

any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent

rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

IEC 60404-12 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 68: Magnetic alloys and steels.

It is an International Standard.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1992. This edition

constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous

edition:

a) the method of test for adhesion has been modified to match to the method of bend test

specified in ISO 1519 using a cylindrical mandrel of 32 mm in diameter instead of the 30 mm

diameter mandrel specified in the first edition;

b) the method of test for interlaminar insulation resistance has been modified to match to the

method specified in IEC 60404-11 and the modified Franklin test has been removed;

c) the method of test for compressibility has been modified to match to the method of test for

stacking factor specified in IEC 60404-13;
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

d) the concept of "resistance grades" has been removed;

e) the clamping pressure to be used at temperature ratings above 500 °C has been reduced

to (0,01 ± 0,001) N/mm ;

f) the testing for continuous exposure has been made a subject to an agreement between the

manufacturer and the purchaser and the procedure has been moved to an informative

Annex A.

INTRODUCTION

The surface insulation coatings on electrical steel strip and sheet are sometimes exposed to

elevated temperatures in service or during processing by the purchaser. Therefore, the thermal

endurance of the surface insulation coating is important.

Physicochemical models postulated for the aging processes lead to the almost universal

assumption of the Arrhenius equations to describe the rate of aging (see Annex A of this

document and IEC 60216-1).

53 1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a world-wide organization for standardization

54 comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to

55 promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic

56 fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards, Technical

57 Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to

58 as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee

59 interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and

60 non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates

61 closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined

62 by agreement between the two organizations.

63 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an

64 international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation

65 from all interested IEC National Committees.

66 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

67 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

68 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

71 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

72 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated

131 INTRODUCTION

132 The surface insulation coatings on electrical steel strip and sheet are sometimes exposed to

133 elevated temperatures in service or during processing by the purchaser. Therefore, the thermal

134 endurance of the surface insulation coating is important.

135 Physicochemical models postulated for the aging processes lead to the almost universal

136 assumption of the Arrhenius equations to describe the rate of aging (see Annex A and IEC

137 60216-1:2013).

138 Since the measurement of the properties of surface insulation coatings at elevated

139 temperatures is expensive and time-consuming, the thermal endurance of a coating is usually

140 assessed by evaluating a specified coating property before and after a heat treatment.

149 1 Scope

150 This part of IEC 60404 is applicable to surface insulation coatings on electrical steel strip and

151 sheet classified in IEC 60404-1-1.

152 The purpose of this document is to define the general principles and technical details of the

153 tests for the assessment of the thermal endurance of surface insulation coatings on electrical

154 steel strip and sheet.

155 The assessment is made by evaluating the change of a specified property of the surface

156 insulation coating due to a heat treatment at a specified temperature up to 850 °C and a

157 specified duration time up to 2 500 h. The specified property is measured at an ambient

158 temperature of (23 ± 5) °C both without heat treatment and after heat treatment.

159 This document is applicable to the following properties of surface insulation coatings:

160 – adhesion;
161 – surface insulation resistance;
162 – stacking factor.

163 This document is not applicable to other properties of surface insulation coatings, e.g. welding

164 properties, or to other effects e.g. discoloration and off-gassing, which can be caused by

165 exposure to elevated temperatures.

166 NOTE Some of the tests take a very long time to perform and therefore they may not be suitable for acceptance tests of material

167 supplied on a specific order.
