Abstract

The Fe-Si steels are widely used in the transformers cores. Although the first study of Fe-Si magnetic losses have occurred at 1900, the environmental concern has encouraged the electrical steel manufacturers to improve this alloys.Unfortunately, the rotational magnetization and the magnetic cores clamp could produce compressive stress which increases the transformers magnetic loss and noise (generate by magnetostriction). Therefore, the study of new proceedings which softening the effects of stress on magnetic properties of Fe-Si alloys is desired.The present work purpose to introduce a magnetocrystalline anisotropy in the grain oriented electrical steel (Fe-Si) sheets using a tension annealing. As consequence, it is expected that when a compressive stress is applied, the annealed sheets have lower values of magnetostriction and magnetic loss than the unannealed sheets. Therefore, the annealed material could improve the transformer performance.To infer if the tension annealing produced the desired effects, the GO electrical steel will be compressed at rolling direction while a Single Sheet Tester and a Wheatstone Bridge will measure the magnetic losses and magnetostriction, respectively.
