We investigated the residual stress distribution in a grain of laser-irradiated and gearrolled grain-oriented Fe-3%Si silicon steels by X-ray stress measurement method in order to clarify the effect of residual stresses on magnetic domain refining. Dotted cavity lines were formed by Nd:YAG laser with a power density of 3.3 mJ/pulse for the laserirradiated sample. By using a newly developed X-ra...

This thesis considers a nanotechnology approach based on the production of metals pre-treatments and organic coatings (a complete protection system at all) designed from the nanoscale. The final aim is to develop protection systems with improved corrosion protection properties and a low environmental impact. In particular, multifunctional silane hybrid molecules were used to design sol-gel pre-...

In this paper, we propose a new eddy current model for the nonlinear Maxwell equations with laminated conductors. Direct simulation of three-dimensional (3D) eddy currents in grain-oriented (GO) silicon steel laminations is very challenging since the coating film over each lamination is only several microns thick and the magnetic reluctivity is nonlinear and anisotropic. The system of GO silico...

This study designed a detachable and standardized toroidal test frame to measure the electromagnetic characteristic of toroidal laminated silicon steel specimens. The purpose of the design was to provide the measurements with standardized and controlled environment. The device also can withstand high temperatures (25-300°C) for short time period to allow high temperature tests. The accompanying...

An external rotor transverse flux motor using a combined-type stator core is proposed for a direct drive application in this paper. The stator core is combined by two kinds of components that can both be manufactured conveniently by generic laminated silicon steel used in traditional motors. The motor benefits from the predominance of low manufacturing cost and low iron loss by using a silicon-...
