Two-Dimensional AC Magnetic Properties of Electrical Steel Sheet with Two-Dimensional DC-Biased Magnetization

Abstract

To estimate the magnetic properties with two-dimensional AC-magnetization with two-dimensional DC-biased magnetization, three different grades of non-oriented electrical steel sheets with two-dimensional DC-biased magnetization were prepared. As a result, in the high grade specimen, the difference in the magnetic properties depending on the excitation direction (AC excitation direction is parallel to DC excitation direction) was larger than in the low grade specimen, and the magnetic properties were the best when the excitation direction was the rolling direction. Non-oriented electrical steel sheets have small magnetic anisotropy. High grade non-oriented electrical steel sheets have a large magnetic anisotropy to compare with low grade non-oriented electrical steel sheets. It is thought that magnetic anisotropy increased in the high grade non-oriented electrical steel sheets because the B-H loops under DC-biased magnetization were minor loops. In addition, the increase rate of the H widths and the increase rate of the iron losses depending on the excitation direction were relatively consistent. Since the iron loss is proportional to the area of the B-H loop, it is considered that the iron loss increased at the same rate as the H width of the B-H loop.
