Magnetic materials - Part 8-6: Specifications for individual materials - Soft magnetic metallic materials (IEC 60404-8-6:1999 + A1:2007)

This part of IEC 60404 specifies the general requirements, magnetic properties, geometric characteristics and tolerances as well as inspection procedures for pure iron, silicon-iron, nickel-iron and cobalt-iron. The materials are in the form of bar, billet, sheet, strip or wire. The alloys covered correspond to those defined by classes A, C1, C2, E1 to E4 and F1 to F3 in IEC 60404-1. Magnetic materials used primarily for relays, pure iron and steel products, classified only by coercivity, are covered in IEC 60404-8-10. IEC 60404-8-10 is less restrictive in terms of magnetic properties than the pure iron material (class A) and the silicon-iron alloys (classes C21 and C22) specified in this standard, but it gives more comprehensive dimensional tolerances. Non-oriented and oriented silicon steels (C21 and C22) for industrial power frequency applications, classified by specific total loss, are covered in IEC 60404-8-2, IEC 60404-8-4 and IEC 60404-8-7. Non-oriented and oriented thin magnetic materials for use at medium frequencies, classified by specific total loss, are covered in IEC 60404-8-8.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.
International Standard IEC 60404-8-6 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 68:
Magnetic alloys and steels.
This consolidated version of IEC 60404-8-6 consists of the second edition (1999) [documents
68/197/FDIS and 68/200/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2007) [documents 68/325A/CDV and
68/328/RVC].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment(s) and has
been prepared for user convenience.
It bears the edition number 2.1.
A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by
amendment 1.

Soft magnetic metallic materials



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60404 specifies the general requirements, magnetic properties, geometric
characteristics and tolerances as well as inspection procedures for pure iron, silicon-iron,
nickel-iron and cobalt-iron. The materials are in the form of bar, billet, sheet, strip or wire. The
alloys covered correspond to those defined by classes A, C1, C2, E1 to E4 and F1 to F3 in
IEC 60404-1.
Magnetic materials used primarily for relays, pure iron and steel products, classified only by
coercivity, are covered in IEC 60404-8-10. IEC 60404-8-10 is less restrictive in terms of
magnetic properties than the pure iron material (class A) and the silicon-iron alloys (classes
C21 and C22) specified in this standard, but it gives more comprehensive dimensional
tolerances.
Non-oriented and oriented silicon steels (C21 and C22) for industrial power frequency
applications, classified by specific total loss, are covered in IEC 60404-8-2, IEC 60404-8-4 and
IEC 60404-8-7.
Non-oriented and oriented thin magnetic materials for use at medium frequencies, classified by
specific total loss, are covered in IEC 60404-8-8.

4 Classification
The materials covered by this standard are classified according to the main alloying element
and the content of this element. The subclassification takes into account the different uses of
the alloys.
4.1 Alloy class A (pure iron)
This material is classified according to the maximum value of coercivity.
4.2 Alloy class C (silicon-iron)
Alloy C1, with 0 % to 5 % weight of silicon, is classified according to the maximum value of
coercivity.
Alloys C2, with 0,4 % to 5 % weight of silicon, are classified according to the shape of the
hysteresis loop and the minimum permeability in an a.c. measurement with a L.R. specimen
$
made of material with a thickness of 0,35 mm; the measuring point is H = 1,6 A/m.
4.3 Alloy class E (nickel-iron)
These alloys are classified according to the shape of the hysteresis loop and the minimum
amplitude permeability in an a.c. measurement (50 Hz or 60 Hz), under sine flux conditions,
with a S.W. specimen made of material with a thickness of 0,10 mm.
4.4 Alloy class F (cobalt-iron)
These alloys are classified according to the shape of the hysteresis loop and to the maximum
value of coercivity.
5 Designation
The conventional designation of the materials comprises the following in the order given:
a) the letter for the alloy class: A, C, E or F (see table 1);
b) the number according to the content of the main alloying element (see table 1);
c) for alloy classes C, E and F, the number 1 or 2 according to the shape of the hysteresis
loop:
1 = round (non-oriented)
2 = rectangular (oriented by texture or by thermomagnetic treatment);
d) a dash;
e) depending on the alloy class, either the maximum value for the coercivity in amperes per
metre or the peak value of the minimum permeability divided by 1 000 for a given magnetic
$
field strength ( H = 0,4 A/m or 1,6 A/m) and a given thickness measured with a certain test
specimen (see above under classification).
Example:

6 General requirements
6.1 Chemical composition and production process
The typical composition of each of the material classes covered by this standard is given in
table 1.
The actual composition and production process are left to the discretion of the manufacturer,
unless otherwise agreed between the manufacturer and purchaser, and specified in the order.
6.2 Delivery condition
The materials covered by this standard may be delivered in the hot-finished, cold-worked or
annealed condition. The condition required shall be specified in the order.
6.2.1 Form of supply
Coils shall be of constant width and wound in such a manner that the edges are superimposed
in a regular manner and the side faces of the coil are substantially flat. Coils shall be
sufficiently tightly wound that they do not collapse under their own weight.
Coils can occasionally present welds or interleaves resulting from the removal of defective
zones, subject to prior agreement between the parties. The value of the additional thickness
due to the weld is subject to special agreement. If necessary, the marking of welds or
interleaves may form the subject of a special agreement. For coils containing repair welds or
interleaves, each part of the strip shall be of the same quality material.
The edges of parts welded together shall not be so much out of alignment as to affect the
further processing of the material.
The mass of coils shall be agreed upon at the time of ordering.
6.2.2 Surface condition
The surface condition of sheets or strips shall be uniform, clean, and free from grease and
rust.
Isolated imperfections such as scratches, blisters, etc. may be tolerated if the thickness
remains within the tolerance limits and the manufacture or performance of the final product is
not affected.
The nature of the surface condition will depend on the final treatment. For material in the hot-
rolled condition, the material exhibits a hot mill scale.
7 Technical requirements
7.1 Magnetic properties
Unless otherwise required by the order, the magnetic properties shall be determined for each
lot of material on a representative sample taken from the lot and heat-treated in accordance
with the recommendations of the manufacturer or as specified by the purchaser. Acceptance
testing of sheets and strips shall be carried out by a.c. testing of laminated rings (type L.R.) or
strip-wound cores (type S.W.), or by d.c. testing of either solid rings (type S.R.), laminated
rings (type L.R.) or elongated specimens (type E.S.).

The properties shall meet the magnetic requirements specified in Tables 2 to 4 for the alloy,
the magnetic grade and the thickness specified in the order. For intermediate thicknesses not
given in the table, the values for the next thicker group shall apply. When a.c. magnetic testing
is used to demonstrate conformance of the alloy to this standard, either amplitude permeability
measurements (Table 2a) or serial inductance permeability measurements (Table 2b) can be
used. It is not a
