FOR 1897:
Low-Loss Electrical Steel Sheet for Energy-Efficient Electrical Drives
Subject Area
Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
Term
from 2014 to 2022
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 218259799
The aim of the Research Unit is to expand the scientific knowledge and to improve understanding of the dependence of the electromagnetic losses on the process parameters of the production, processing and operation of electrical steels used in electrical drives. The interdisciplinary nature of the Research Unit enables a holistic and systemic view of the entire process chain, from the materials production to their final application in the electric drive.
In terms of a continuous process and property modelling and taking into account the latest technological developments in the field the existing interdependencies between material properties, manufacturing and processing technologies as well as the specific conditions of application are taken into account. In two steps covering a total time frame of six years, the existing gaps in the virtual process chain will be closed to develop an integrated process model.
Within the project, the theoretical basis for explaining the behaviour and properties of electrical steel-based materials should be extended significantly. In particular, new scientific models regarding the dependence between electromagnetic losses and microstructural properties developed within production and processing of the electrical steels will be developed.
