Introduction
This publication describes the range of grain oriented electrical steels Unisil-H and Unisil - produced by Orb Electrical Steels Ltd. These products comply with the latest specifications of the European Committee for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission.
Quality assurance
The products described in this brochure represent the latest materials in the development of grain oriented electrical steel. They are subjected to rigorous quality control procedures throughout the processing routes. Importantly, the quality management system of Orb Electrical Steels Ltd is approved by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance Ltd to the Quality Management System Standard BS EN ISO 9001 applicable to the development and manufacture of electrical steels.
Customer service
The Technical, Research & Development Group of Cogent Power Ltd is pleased to offer a full consultancy service which is available to customers who require specialist technical data that may not be included in this brochure.

Note 1: J represents the peak magnetic polarization in Teslas. H represents the peak magnetic field strength in A/m. Note 2: The grades marked* do not appear in the EN standard designation. Note 3: The grades marked # are enhanced lower loss high permeability grades. The final processing to achieve these values of specific total loss may include a ball unit domain refinement treatment. This process imparts a defined stress treatment to the surface of the sheet which is not visible and does not cause a deterioration of the surface insulation coating. Accordingly, these grades of material should not be subjected to a stress relief anneal treatment. The specific total losses are measured by the single sheet method of IEC 60404-3.
Magnetic properties
Certificate of magnetic testing
The magnetic properties of every coil of Unisil and Unisil-H are reported by the Magnetic Testing Laboratory in the Certificate of Magnetic Testing. In addition to the specific total loss at the guarantee level of peak magnetic flux density ( J = 1,5 T, or 1,7 T), measurements are taken of the specific apparent power, magnetic field strength and permeability. The Certificate of Magnetic Testing includes these data so that the customer receives, as well as confirmation of the loss guarantee, a comprehensive summary of the loss and magnetic properties for each slit coil of material that is purchased.
UKAS Accreditation
The magnetic measurement systems employed at Orb Electrical Steels Ltd are traceable to national references of measurement through the Standards Laboratory of the Technical, Research and Development Group. This laboratory is accredited as United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) Calibration Laboratory No 0082 for the measurement of power loss in electrical steel strip. The laboratory is authorized to issue UKAS certificates 0082 which are accepted internationally.

Insulation coatings
Magnite and Magnite-S are heat resistant insulation coatings applied to Unisil and Unisil-H respectively. The coatings are approximately 3 microns thick per side and provide good electrical resistance with only a marginal effect on stacking factor. The coatings have good adherence properties and will withstand normal punching operations. The coatings give some protection against corrosion and are unaffected by, and in turn do not affect, transformer oil.
Magnetostriction
The magnetostriction coefficient of the transformer core lamination is a significant parameter in determining the acoustic noise output of the transformer. The Magnite and Magnite-S coatings are beneficial in controlling the magnetostriction of the material by imparting a tensile stress to the steel. Magnite-S applies a greater degree of control to Unisil-H which results in a product of lower magnetostriction.
Thickness tolerance*
Thickness tolerance for side trimmed coil up to 915 mm wide is 0,030** mm. The thickness variation along the length of the strip does not exceed 0,030 mm within a 1,5 m long sheet, and the thickness variation across the width, excluding the outer 40 mm, does not exceed 0,020 mm. The edge camber on sheets greater than 150 mm wide does not exceed 0,5 mm in a 1,5 m length of strip.
-0 + 1,5 -0 + 2,0
Sheets are available in cut lengths of up to 3000 mm. Alternative tolerances can be arranged for specific orders.

Stacks of laminations are annealed in a mesh belt furnace when it is required that they are held at the specified temperature for about one hour. Annealed laminations are subject to distortion, but this may be controlled by adjustment of the stack height and cooling rate in the inert atmosphere.
Note: It is important to avoid carbonaceous and oxidising conditions which would result in the magnetic properties of the laminations being impaired. Advice and guidance on the correct annealing practices for Unisil and Unisil-H are available from the Technical, Research and Development Group, Cogent Power Ltd.
The material is packed carefully into an inner cover before annealing for two hours at the specified temperature in a dry atmosphere. Excessive temperature gradients during the heating and cooling cycles must be avoided in order to prevent lamination distortion. It should be noted that the size of the lamination will influence the duration of the annealing cycle.
Roller hearth annealing (30 to 60 seconds at the specified temperature in an air atmosphere) of single laminations should result in the laminations being stress free and non-oxidised (the rapid anneal prevents oxidation).
