Abstract

The present paper deals with the microstructure-properties correlations of industrial electrical steel for efficient electric energy converters. The metallographic evaluation of quality is important for the understanding and the further development of this class of materials. For this purpose, a comparison between electrical steel sheets of the same quality, but from different manufacturers, was performed in terms of grain size, texture and composition.

Kurzfassung

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit den Gefüge-Eigenschaftsbeziehungen von industriellen Elektroband-Werkstoffen für effiziente Elektromotoren. Die metallographische Qualitätsbeurteilung ist wichtig für das Verständnis und die Weiterentwicklung dieser Werkstoffklasse. Hierzu erfolgt ein Vergleich von Elektroblechen gleicher Güte, aber unterschiedlicher Hersteller unter Gesichtspunkten der Korngröße, Textur und Zusammensetzung.
