Magnetic materials - Part 8-4: Specifications for individual materials - Cold-rolled non-oriented electrical steel strip and sheet delivered in the fully-processed state

IEC 60404-8-4:2022 defines the grades of cold-rolled non-oriented electrical steel strip and sheet in nominal thicknesses of 0,35 mm, 0,47 mm, 0,50 mm, 0,65 mm and 1,00 mm. In particular, it gives general requirements, magnetic properties, geometric characteristics, tolerances and technological characteristics, as well as inspection procedure. The nominal thickness 0,47 mm applies to the grades for use at 60 Hz only. This document applies to cold-rolled non-oriented electrical steel strip and sheet supplied in the fully-processed state, i.e. the final annealed condition, in coils or sheets, and intended for the construction of magnetic circuits. This document does not apply to materials supplied in the semi-processed state. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- modification of terms and technical requirements concerning geometrical characteristics to be consistent with IEC 60404-9:2018;
- insertion of Table 3 - Tolerances on nominal thickness;
- change of the length of test specimen for determination of geometrical characteristics from 2 m to 1 m.

Matériaux magnétiques - Partie 8-4: Spécifications pour matériaux particuliers - Bandes et tôles magnétiques en acier à grains non orientés, laminées à froid et livrées à l'état fini

L'IEC 60404-8-4:2022 définit les qualités des bandes et tôles magnétiques en acier à grains non orientés, laminées à froid, d'épaisseurs nominales 0,35 mm, 0,47 mm, 0,50 mm, 0,65 mm et 1,00 mm. Elle définit notamment les exigences générales, les caractéristiques magnétiques, les caractéristiques géométriques, les tolérances et les caractéristiques technologiques, ainsi que les procédures de contrôle applicables. L'épaisseur nominale 0,47 mm s'applique aux qualités pour utilisation à 60 Hz seulement. Le présent document s'applique aux bandes et tôles magnétiques en acier à grains non orientés, laminées à froid, livrées à l'état fini, c'est-à-dire à l'état de recuit final, en bobines ou en tôles et destinées à la construction de circuits magnétiques. Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux matériaux livrés à l'état semi-fini. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- modification des termes et des exigences techniques concernant les caractéristiques géométriques dans un souci de cohérence avec l'IEC 60404-9:2018;
- insertion du Tableau 3 - Tolérances sur l'épaisseur nominale;
- modification de la longueur de l'éprouvette pour la détermination des caractéristiques géométriques de 2 m à 1 m.

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.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes made to
the previous edition IEC 60404-8-4:2013. A vertical bar appears in the margin wherever a change
has been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough red text.
