Development of steels for automotive electrical parts with low electric power

$15.00

Recently, the demand for a soft magnetic steel, which can generate a large electromagnetic force with low electric power, has increased in the growing area of electronically controlled parts for automobiles. A new very low-carbon steel has been developed with consideration for DC electromagnetic properties, cold forgeability, and machinability. This paper describes the advantages and the factors that determine the electromagnetic properties of the developed soft magnetic steel.
