Grain-oriented silicon iron with high permeability is prepared using aluminum-nitride needles to restrain normal grain growth. The improvements in hysteresis loss of specimens with a permeability of 1920 are about 0.120 W/kg at 15 kG and 0.160 W/kg at 17 kG as compared to the commerical product with a permeability of 1820. That is the reason why the crystal orientation has a strong influence on total loss, especially at B = 17 kG. The effect of grain size on total loss is important also. The detrimental aluminum nitride and aluminum oxide are not present in the base metal after final annealing. For example, aluminum oxide is removed from the base metal and absorbed into a glass film. Glass-type coating plays a dominant role, not only for the magnetostriction, but also for total loss of these specimens with high permeability, especially in thin-gauge specimens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
