JFE No. 4 245 p. 6358 Electrical Steels for Advanced Automobiles Core Materials for Motors, Generators, and High-frequency Reactors SENDA Kunihiro JFE NAMIKAWA JFEMisao HAYAKAWA JFEYasuyuki JNE JNEH JGE 6.5 Si 4 Hz 1 khz JFE JNEX Si 5 khz 1 khz JFE JNHF Abstract: Performance of core steels has been investigated using several developed techniques such as model motor measurement, local measurement in a motor core and model transformer measurement in order to develop electrical steels suited to the electrification in automobiles. From the results obtained in the model motors, non-oriented electrical steel JNE with high flux density and low iron loss, and JNEH with low iron loss at high frequencies were newly developed for automotive motor application. For segment type motor cores, grain-oriented electrical steel JGE with low iron loss in the directions of the rolling direction has been developed. For high frequency reactor usage, JFE Super Core JNEX having 6.5%Si content has demonstrated low noise and low core loss at high frequencies such as from 4 Hz to 1 khz. JFE Super Core JNHF has demonstrated low core loss at very high frequencies such as from 5 khz to 1 khz. 1. CO2 EV JFE HEV FCV 58
