CRGO Silicon Steel: Energy-Efficient Transformer Core Material
Cold Rolled Grain Oriented (CRGO) Silicon Steel optimizes magnetic performance for power transformers, reducing core losses by 40–60% compared to non-oriented steel.
Key Magnetic Properties
| Parameter | CRGO Silicon Steel | Standard Non-Oriented Steel |
|---|---|---|
| Core Loss (W/kg @1.5T) | 0.85–1.20 | 2.50–3.50 |
| Permeability (μmax) | 1,800–2,000 | 500–800 |
| Saturation Induction (T) | 1.92–2.03 | 1.60–1.80 |
Applications:
- Power Transformers: 0.23–0.30 mm thickness laminations for 50/60 Hz grids.
- High-Frequency Chokes: 0.10–0.15 mm ultra-thin strips (up to 1 kHz).
CRGO Manufacturing Process & Quality Control
- Cold Rolling: Reduce thickness to 0.18–0.30 mm with 85–92% deformation.
- Decarburization: Anneal at 830–850°C in wet H₂/N₂ atmosphere (C ≤0.003%).
- Coating: Apply MgO insulation layer (3–5 μm) for interlaminar resistance >20 Ω·cm².
- Stress Relief: Final annealing at 1,200°C to align Goss texture {110}<001>.
Testing Protocols:
- Epstein Frame (IEC 60404-2) for core loss verification
- Laser-scribed samples for magnetic domain refinement
