Magnetic structure and properties of thin transformer strip

Conclusions

• 1. The character of the magnetic structure in this transformer strip differs in different steels. The magnetic structure of steel É360 indicates perfect 〈100〉 texture and negligible internal stresses. The magnetic structure of scrap samples indicates large scattering of 〈100〉 texture and in direction. In the case of secondary recrystallization the 〈310〉 texture occurs.

• 2. When total losses are separated into hysteresis and eddy components one observes a close connection between the total losses and the hysteresis component. The eddy component depends very little on the total losses or the coercive force.
