BACKGROUND
[0002]In recent years, attention has been focused on global environmental problems, a need for a commitment to energy conservation, have been increasing more. Among them, high-efficiency electrical equipment, there has been a strong demand in recent years. Therefore, even in the non-oriented electrical steel sheet is widely used as a core material such as a motor or generator, need for improvement in the magnetic properties are further strengthened. Electric vehicles and motors for hybrid vehicles, and, in the motor compressor, the tendency is remarkable.
[0003]
Motor core of motors as described above, the stator is a stator, and consists of a rotor is the rotor. Characteristics required for the stator and rotor composing the motor core is different from each other. The stator, while excellent for magnetic properties (core loss and magnetic flux density) is particularly sought, the rotor is required to have excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength and yield ratio).
[0004]
Characteristics is obtained between the stator and the rotor are different. Therefore, the non-oriented electrical steel sheet for stator, a non-oriented electrical steel sheet for the rotor, if Wakere build, it is possible to realize the respective desired characteristics. However, to prepare two types of non-oriented electrical steel sheet, which leads to reduction in yield. Therefore, a superior strength required for the rotor, in order to realize a low core loss required for the stator, excellent in strength and non-oriented electrical steel sheet excellent in magnetic properties, have been conventionally studied.
[0005]
For example, in Patent Documents 1 to 3 below, while achieving excellent magnetic properties as required for the stator, in order to achieve superior strength as determined in the rotor, as chemical components of the steel sheet, silicon the (Si) causes contained many, nickel (Ni) or copper (Cu) like intentionally added to technology element contributing to higher strength has been proposed.

Summary of the Invention
Problems that the Invention is to Solve
[0007]
However, in recent years, in order to realize the energy-saving properties required for an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle motors, in such a technique disclosed in the above Patent Documents 1 to 3, a low iron loss as stator material not It was sufficient.
[0008]
Also, the element which promotes high strength such as Ni and Cu as disclosed in the above Patent Documents 1 to 3 are expensive, the positively adding these elements, the production of non-oriented electrical steel sheet cost is increased.
[0009]
In recent years, in the electric motor of the vehicles or hybrid vehicles, they come to be made much designed to make the motor torque by the speed of the motor rotational speed, further increasing the strength of the rotor is strongly demanded. To ensure the safety of the motor is not only critical property of fracture represented by tensile strength, it should be avoided destruction by fatigue. For that purpose, not just tensile strength, to obtain a high yield stress (i.e., to obtain a high yield ratio) is important. However, even with the technique disclosed in the above Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is difficult to achieve further high strength and high yield ratio of the rotor.
[0010]
The present invention was made in view of the above problems. An object of the present invention, manufacturing cost is suppressed, it is to provide a non-oriented electrical steel sheet high strength and high yield ratio.
Preferably, the resulting high strength and punching the non-oriented electrical steel sheet yield ratio to a desired motor core shape (rotor shape and a stator shape), punched non-oriented electromagnetic steel sheet by laminating a plurality desired motor core shape ( forming a rotor shape, and a stator shape), of which, when annealed against those laminated stator shape is to provide a non-oriented electrical steel sheet showing a more excellent magnetic properties.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0011]
In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have conducted extensive studies. Specifically, punching the member for the rotor and the stator from the same non-oriented electrical steel sheet, members of the rotor, after laminating to a desired rotor shape, without annealing the laminated body both have a more excellent mechanical properties, also, members for the stator, after laminating to a desired stator shape, the more excellent magnetic properties by performing annealing the laminated body the means to realize, was conducted extensive studies.
[0012]
Hereinafter, the member for the stator by punching a non-oriented electrical steel sheet into a desired stator shape, the member for punched stator after laminating to a desired stator shape, performed on the resulting laminate that of annealing to be referred to as the "core annealing".
[0013]
Among the non-oriented electrical steel sheet having the same tensile strength, improved fatigue strength in order to achieve a high yield ratio purpose, non-oriented electrical steel sheet be made to have a upper yield point, potential It is considered as.
The present inventors, by utilizing the strain aging of carbon (C), non-oriented electrical steel sheet by noting controlled to have a upper yield point. However, non-oriented electrical steel sheet is generally manufactured, a low content of C which causes a by strain aging of high purity. In particular, the non-oriented electrical steel sheet in which the content of Si is at least 3%, that Si suppresses the formation of carbides, no upper yield point. Also, just the aim of increasing the strength, C, titanium (Ti), in the non-oriented electrical steel sheet element was intentionally contain such niobium (Nb), breakdown phenomenon by a high content of C is produced as well, since carbide is significantly degrade the grain growth during the core annealing, not improved magnetic properties after the core annealing.
Therefore, so far, it has an upper yield point, and to obtain a non-oriented electrical steel sheet excellent in magnetic properties after the core annealing is difficult.
[0014]
Based on this viewpoint, the present inventors carried out further studies. As a result, not intentionally contain cost elements, and, in the non-oriented electrical steel sheet having a high Si content, by realizing the breakdown phenomenon by realizing further refinement of the crystal grain size, It was found that even better mechanical properties can be obtained. Further, in the non-oriented electrical steel sheet, if it is possible to suppress the content of elements such as to inhibit the grain growth during the core annealing, the more excellent magnetic properties after the core annealing also becomes possible to improve simultaneously It led to obtain the findings.

(Method of manufacturing the non-oriented electrical steel sheet)
Next, referring to FIG. 5, a method for manufacturing the non-oriented electrical steel sheet 10 according to the present embodiment as described above, it will be described in detail. Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a flow of a method of manufacturing the non-oriented electrical steel sheet according to the present embodiment.
[0071]
In the method of manufacturing the non-oriented electrical steel sheet 10 according to this embodiment, with respect to the steel ingot having a predetermined chemical components as described above, hot rolling, hot-rolled sheet annealing, pickling, cold rolling, finish to implement the annealing in order. In the case of forming the insulating film 13 on the surface of the base steel 11, formation of the insulating film after the final annealing is performed. Hereinafter, each step carried out by the method for producing a non-oriented electrical steel sheet 10 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail.
[0072]
In the method of manufacturing the non-oriented electrical steel sheet 10 according to this embodiment, first, heating a steel ingot (slab) having the above chemical composition, subjected to hot rolling for the heated steel ingot Te to obtain a hot rolled sheet (hot rolled steel) (step S101). The heating temperature of the steel ingot when subjected to hot rolling is not particularly intended to define, for example, 1050 ° C. or higher, it is preferable to 1200 ° C. or less. As for the thickness of the hot rolled sheet after hot rolling is not particularly intended to define, in consideration of the final thickness of the base steel, e.g., is preferably about 1.5 mm ~ 3.0 mm . By hot rolling as described above with respect to the steel ingot is subjected, on the surface of the base steel 11, the scale consisting mainly of oxides of Fe is produced.
[0073]
After the hot rolling, hot-rolled sheet annealing is performed (step S103). In the hot-rolled sheet annealing, for example, a dew point of -20 ° C. or more annealing atmosphere, and 50 ° C. or less, the annealing temperature 850 ° C. or higher, and 1100 ° C. or less, and the soaking time 10 seconds or more, or less 150 seconds it is preferable that the. Soaking time, the temperature of the hot-rolled sheet is subjected to hot-rolled sheet annealing, it refers to the time that is in the range of peak metal temperature ± 5 ° C..
[0074]
It is, therefore leading to excessive cost to control the dew point to below -20 ° C., is not preferred. On the other hand, if the dew point is higher than 50 ° C., by advances oxidation of Fe of the base steel, the thickness is excessively reduced by the subsequent pickling, the yield deterioration occurs, which is not preferable. Dew point of the annealing atmosphere is preferably, -10 ° C. or more and 40 ° C. or less, more preferably, -10 ° C. or more and 20 ° C. or less.
[0075]
If the annealing temperature is below 850 ° C., or, if the soaking time is less than 10 seconds, the magnetic flux density B50 is deteriorated, unfavorably.
On the other hand, if the annealing temperature exceeds 1100 ° C., or, if the soaking time exceeds 150 seconds, because the possibility that the base steel in the later stage of the cold rolling step results in rupture occurs, which is undesirable.
Annealing temperature is preferably, 900 ° C. or more and 1050 ° C. or less, more preferably, 950 ° C. or more and 1050 ° C. or less. Also, the soaking time is preferably 20 seconds or more and 100 seconds or less, more preferably, 30 seconds or more, or less 80 seconds.
[0076]
Further, in the cooling process in the hot-rolled sheet annealing, the cooling process in the hot-rolled sheet annealing, the average cooling rate in the temperature range in order to more surely achieve 0.82 or more yield ratio, up to 800 ° C. ~ 500 ° C. and preferably set to 10 ° C. / sec ~ 100 ° C. / sec, and more preferably set to 25 ° C. / sec or more.
If the cooling rate in the temperature range up to 800 ° C. ~ 500 ° C. is less than 10 ° C. / sec, strain aging due to solute C can not be obtained sufficiently, it upper yield point is less likely to occur, the yield ratio is reduced . To the average cooling rate is not less than 10 ° C. / sec strong cooling may be accomplished such as by increasing the amount of gas to flow from the rear stage.
On the other hand, from the viewpoint of mechanical properties, although preferred higher average cooling rate to a sheet temperature 800 ° C. ~ 500 ° C., the productivity when the average cooling rate is too fast the plate shape deteriorates, so impair the steel quality, the upper limit and 100 ℃ / sec.
[0077]
after the hot rolled sheet annealing is pickled is performed (step S105), the scale layer formed on the surface of the base iron 11 is removed. The concentration of acid used for pickling, the concentration of accelerator used in pickling, pickling conditions such as the temperature of the pickling solution is not particularly limited, may be a known pickling conditions.
[0078]
After the pickling, cold rolling is performed (step S107).
In cold rolling, final thickness of the base steel is at a reduction rate such that less 0.30mm or 0.10 mm, pickled plate removed of the scale layer is rolled. By cold rolling, the metal structure of the base steel 11 becomes cold rolled tissue obtained by cold rolling.
[0079]
After the cold rolling, finish annealing is performed (step S109).
The method of manufacturing a non-oriented electrical steel sheet according to the present embodiment, the final annealing step is to achieve an average crystal grain size of the base steel 11 as described above, and to produce a breakdown phenomenon, a critical step is there. In recrystallization annealing step, the annealing atmosphere, dew point and wet atmosphere is -20 ° C. ~ 50 ° C., annealing temperature is 750 ° C. or higher, and 900 ° C. or less, soaking time is 10 seconds or more and less than 100 seconds . Soaking time, the temperature of the cold-rolled steel sheet is subjected to finish annealing, it refers to the time that is in the range of peak metal temperature ± 5 ° C.. Perform annealing finish above annealing conditions, by performing cooling as described later, to achieve an average crystal grain size of the base steel 11 as described above, and can give rise to breakdown phenomena.
[0080]
If the dew point of the annealing atmosphere is less than -20 ° C. is deteriorated grain growth near the surface during the core annealing, since the iron loss becomes inferior undesirable. On the other hand, if the dew point of the annealing atmosphere is more than 50 ° C., since iron loss is deteriorated occurs internal oxidation undesirable. Also, when the annealing temperature is lower than 750 ° C. is too long annealing time, since the productivity is likely to decrease, which is undesirable. On the other hand, if the annealing temperature exceeds 900 ° C., since control of the grain size after finish annealing it becomes difficult unfavorably. Further, when the soaking time is less than 10 seconds it can not provide adequate finish annealing, since it may be difficult to cause an appropriately seed crystal base steel 11, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the soaking time exceeds 100 seconds, the average crystal grain size of seed crystals caused the base steel 11, since the prior mentioned range and potentially increases, undesirable.
[0081]
Dew point of the annealing atmosphere is preferably, -10 ° C. or more and 20 ° C. or less, more preferably, 0 ° C. or more and 10 ° C. or less. Further, the oxygen potential of the annealing atmosphere (H 2 partial pressure P of O H2 O to, H 2 partial pressure P of H2 divided by the: P H2 O / P H2 ) is a reducing atmosphere of 0.01 to 0.30 it is preferable.
[0082]
Annealing temperature is preferably, 800 ° C. or more and 850 ° C. or less, more preferably, 800 ° C. or more and 825 ° C. or less. Soaking time is preferably 10 seconds or more and 30 seconds or less.
[0083]
Prior mentioned as an average crystal grain size of the base steel 11 of 10 [mu] m ~ 40 [mu] m, and, in order to more surely achieve 0.82 or more yield ratio, the average cooling rate from the sheet temperature is 750 ° C. to 600 ° C. and preferably set to a 25 ° C. / sec or more strong cooling. The cooling rate from the sheet temperature is 400 ° C. to 100 ° C. It is more preferable to slow cooling of 20 ° C. / sec or less at any timing during this period.
If the cooling rate from the plate temperature 750 ° C. until 600 ° C. is less than 25 ° C. / sec can not cooling rate is sufficiently fine crystal grains of the base steel 11 too late, as described above it may not be able to achieve an average crystal grain size of a 10 [mu] m ~ 40 [mu] m. Further, if the cooling rate from the plate temperature 750 ° C. until 600 ° C. is less than 25 ° C. / sec, caused precipitation of carbides such as TiC in the cooling process, since dissolved C is decreased, solute C strain aging due can not be obtained sufficiently, it upper yield point is less likely to occur, the yield ratio is reduced. On the other hand, the upper limit of the cooling rate from the sheet temperature 750 ° C. to 600 ° C. is not particularly intended to define, in fact, is the upper limit of about 100 ° C. / sec. Cooling rate from the plate temperature 750 ° C. to 600 ° C. preferably at 60 ° C. / sec or less 30 ° C. / sec or more.
Also, performed between sheet temperature of 100 ° C. from 400 ° C., at least the cooling rate in some temperature interval 20 ° C. / sec or less for slow cooling (including the case where momentary cooling rate is 20 ° C. / sec) it is, progress in strain aging by solute C, the upper yield point is more likely to occur. By performing slow cooling at least part of the temperature zone, it is more preferable that the steel sheet to reside 16 seconds or longer in the temperature range of 400 ℃ ~ 100 ℃.
[0084]
In the finish annealing, the heating rate up to a sheet temperature 750 ° C. or higher 900 ° C. or less of the temperature range, for example, preferably set to 20 ° C. / sec ~ 1000 ° C. / sec. The heating rate by a 20 ° C. / sec or more, it is possible to the magnetic properties of non-oriented electrical steel sheet with better ones. On the other hand, the heating rate as were raised beyond 1000 ° C. / sec, the effect of improving magnetic properties is saturated. Heating rate in the temperature range of the plate temperature 750 ° C. or higher 900 ° C. or less in the final annealing is more preferably 50 ° C. / sec ~ 200 ° C. / sec.
[0085]
By going through the steps described above, it is possible to produce a non-oriented electrical steel sheet 10 according to this embodiment.
[0086]
After the final annealing, if necessary, the formation process of the insulating coating are performed (step S111). Here, the step of forming the insulating film, is not particularly limited, using known insulation coating treatment solution as described above may be carried out coating and drying of the treatment liquid by a known method.
[0087]
Surface of the base steel which insulating film is formed, prior to applying the treatment solution, etc. or by degreasing alkali, hydrochloric, sulfuric, etc. pickling treatment with phosphoric acid and the like, may be subjected to any pretreatment it may be the surface remains after annealing finish without performing these pre-treatment.
[0088]
Above with reference to FIG. 5, a method for manufacturing the non-oriented electrical steel sheet according to the present embodiment has been described in detail.
[0089]
(Method of manufacturing the motor core)
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 2 again, using the non-oriented electrical steel sheet according to the present embodiment as described above, a method of manufacturing a motor core (rotor / stator), easily explain.
[0090]
The motor core manufacturing method obtained from non-oriented electrical steel sheet according to the present embodiment, first, the non-oriented electrical steel sheet 10 according to this embodiment, punching the core shape (rotor shape / stator configuration) (Step 1), the resulting respective members are stacked (step 2), to form the desired motor core shape (i.e., the desired rotor shape and the stator shape). For laminating non-oriented electrical steel sheets punched in the core shape, non-oriented electrical steel sheet 10 used in the manufacture of motor core, it is important that the surface of the base steel 11 in which the insulating film 13 is formed.
[0091]
Thereafter, the non-oriented electromagnetic steel plates laminated in the desired stator shape, annealing (core annealing) is performed (step 3). The core annealing is preferably carried out in an atmosphere containing 70 vol% or more nitrogen. Further, the annealing temperature of the core annealing is preferably 750 ° C. or higher 900 ° C. or less. By implementing the core annealed at above annealing conditions, grain growth proceeds from the recrystallized structure present in the base iron 11 of a non-oriented electrical steel sheet 10. As a result, the resulting stator showing the desirable magnetic properties.
[0092]
If the proportion of nitrogen in the atmosphere is less than 70% by volume, because increased cost of core annealing, is not preferred. The proportion of nitrogen in the atmosphere is more preferably 80% by volume or more, more preferably from 90 vol% to 100 vol%, particularly preferably 97 vol% to 100 vol%. The atmosphere gas other than nitrogen is not particularly intended to define, in general, can be used hydrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, a reducing mixed gas consisting of methane. To obtain these gases, a method that may by burning propane gas and natural gas, is generally employed.
[0093]
Also, when the annealing temperature of the core annealing is less than 750 ° C. can not be achieved sufficient grain growth is undesirable. On the other hand, if the annealing temperature of the core annealing exceeds 900 ° C. is too grain growth of recrystallized structure proceeds, although the hysteresis loss is reduced, since the increased eddy current loss, the total iron loss as a result increases , which is not preferable. Annealing temperature of the core annealing, preferably at 775 ° C. or higher 850 ° C. or less.
[0094]
Soaking time of implementing the core annealing may be appropriately set according to the annealing temperature, but for example, can be 10 minutes to 180 minutes. If the soaking time is less than 10 minutes is well may not be realized grain growth. On the other hand, if the soaking time exceeds 180 minutes, too long annealing time, is very likely that reduces the productivity. Soaking time, more preferably, from 30 minutes to 150 minutes.
[0095]
The heating rate in the temperature range of 500 ° C. or higher 750 ° C. or less in the core annealing is preferably set to 50 ℃ / Hr ~ 300 ℃ / Hr. The heating rate With 50 ℃ / Hr ~ 300 ℃ / Hr, is because it is possible to the characteristics of the stator even better ones, the heating rate as were raised beyond 300 ° C. / Hr also, because the effect of improving the properties is saturated. Heating rate in the temperature range of 500 ° C. or higher 750 ° C. or less in the core annealing, more preferably 80 ℃ / Hr ~ 150 ℃ / Hr.
[0096]
The cooling rate in the temperature range of 750 ° C. or less 500 ° C. or more, preferably set to 50 ℃ / Hr ~ 500 ℃ / Hr. The cooling rate by a 50 ° C. / Hr or more, it is possible to further and better ones properties of the stator, whereas, even if the cooling rate as in excess of 500 ° C. / Hr, the cooling unevenness in inverse distortion due to thermal stress becomes more likely to be introduced into, there is a possibility that the deterioration of the iron loss occurs. Cooling rate in the temperature range of 750 ° C. or less 500 ° C. or higher in the core annealing is more preferably 80 ℃ / Hr ~ 200 ℃ / Hr.
[0097]
By going through the steps described above, it is possible to manufacture the motor core.
[0098]
Although the method of manufacturing a motor core according to the present embodiment has been briefly described.

Thereafter, an insulating coating was applied, was non-oriented electrical steel sheet. Insulating coating is acrylic aluminum phosphate and particle size 0.2 [mu] m - an insulating film composed of a styrene copolymer resin emulsion was applied to be a predetermined coating weight, the atmosphere was formed by baking at 350 ° C..
[0102]
Performing a portion of the resulting non-oriented electrical steel sheet, annealing at 800 ° C. × 120 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere at a dew point -40 ° C. (the ratio of nitrogen is more than 99.9% by volume in the atmosphere) (processing of the core since not, in this experiment example, simply referred to as "annealing", corresponds to the core annealing. hereinafter referred to as "pseudo-core annealing".) I was subjected to.
[0103]
Heating rate at less than 700 ° C. 500 ° C. or higher in a pseudo-core annealing, and cooling rate, respectively, 100 ° C. / Hr, and was 100 ° C. / Hr.
[0104]
[Table 1]
[0105]
The non-oriented electrical steel sheet before and after the pseudo-core annealing, JIS G0551 - according cleavage method of "Steel microscopic examination method of grain size", to observe the tissue Z cross section of the center of plate thickness, the average crystal grain size of the base steel It was measured. Moreover, the non-oriented electrical steel sheet before and after the pseudo-core annealing, were taken Epstein test pieces in the rolling direction and the width direction, by Epstein test conforming to JIS C2550, the magnetic properties (after finish annealing, and, for the previous pseudo core annealing is, iron loss W10 / 800, for after the pseudo core annealing, was to evaluate the iron loss W10 / 400).
Furthermore, after the finish annealing, and the non-oriented electrical steel sheet before the pseudo core annealing, a tensile test piece in the rolling direction were taken in accordance with JIS Z2241, by performing a tensile test, the yield point, tensile strength (TS), and, the yield ratio was measured. The measured various characteristics as described above, the following table 2A, are summarized in Table 2B.
[0106]
[Table. 2A]
[0107]
[Table 2B]
[0108]
Table 2A, as is apparent from Table 2B, an invention example No. For 2,4,11,12,15,18,24,25,28,31,32,34,36,37,39 ~ 41 and 45 ~ 47,50,51, proper and annealing conditions finishing with the component because the control in a high yield ratio of 0.82 or more was obtained. Further, each of the upper yield point and lower yield point occurs, the difference between the upper yield point and lower yield point is not less than 5 MPa.
[0109]
However, No. 18, since the value of "C × (Ti + Nb + Zr + V)" steels C used exceeds the 0.000010, although simulated core properties before annealing is excellent, the average crystal grain size after the pseudo core annealing is small, also, iron loss W10 / 400 is a preferred characteristic by forming carbides, it exceeded 11W / kg.
[0110]
In addition, No. 24, No. 25, since the Al content exceeds 0.50%, Ti is not fixed as a nitride, as a result, carbide is increased, the iron loss W10 / 400 after a pseudo core annealing exceeds 11W / kg It was.
[0111]
In addition, No. 28, since the Nb content exceeds 0.0030 mass%, core loss W10 / 400 by the formation of carbides exceeds the 11W / kg.
In other inventive examples, also in the magnetic properties after simulated core annealing, good results were obtained.
[0112]
On the other hand, No. 1, the average crystal grain size after finish annealing is because below the 10 [mu] m, the iron loss W10 / 800 after final annealing has exceeded 50 W / kg.
[0113]
No. About 8 to 10,16,17,26,27,29,30,35,38,43,44,48,49,53,54, average crystal grain size after finish annealing under the influence of such final annealing temperature is 40μm the upper yield point is not generated clear to exceeded, the yield ratio was low.
[0114]
No. 3,5,14,42,52 the yield ratio is below 0.82. Grain size after finish annealing in these steels were 40μm or less is the upper yield point - lower the lower yield point. Age hardening by carbon for the entire cooling process was quenched over 20 ° C. / sec finish annealing of 400 ° C. ~ 100 ° C. It is believed that did not work sufficiently.
[0115]
No. 6, the yield ratio is below 0.82. The average cooling rate 800 ~ 500 ° C. After the hot-rolled sheet annealing steel was slow compared to other grades, will be precipitated as carbides solute carbon in the meantime, the strain aging after recrystallization after finish annealing contributes solid solution carbon is considered to have been lost.
[0116]
No. 7 and 13, the yield ratio is below 0.82. In these steels, a slow cooling than cooling rate and other 600 ° C. from 750 ° C. of finish annealing, considered that the upper yield point is lowered by a carbide starts to precipitate overaging at high temperature It is.
[0117]
No. For 19-23, upper yield point for the C content was less steels D used does not occur clearly had lower yield ratio.
