Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

One implementation of the present disclosure relates to an adhesive coating composition for an electrical steel sheet, an electrical steel sheet laminate, and a manufacturing method thereof. Specifically, one implementation of the present disclosure relates to an adhesive coating composition for an electrical steel sheet including a urethane resin, an electrical steel sheet laminate, and a manufacturing method thereof.


BACKGROUND ART

A non-oriented electrical steel sheet is a steel sheet with uniform magnetic properties in all directions on a rolled sheet, and has been widely used in motors, generator cores, electric motors, and small transformers.


The electrical steel sheet may be classified into two types of performing stress relief annealing (SRA) to improve magnetic properties after blanking and omitting SRA when the cost loss according to heat treatment is greater than the magnetic property effect by SRA.


An insulating film is a film coated in a final manufacturing process of a laminate of a motor, an iron core of a generator, an electric motor, and a small transformer, and generally requires an electrical property for suppressing the occurrence of eddy current. In addition, continuous blanking workability, adhesion resistance, and surface adhesion are required. The continuous blanking workability refers to the ability of suppressing wear of a mold when forming an iron core by laminating a plurality of layers after blanking in a predetermined shape. The adhesion resistance refers to the ability of iron core steel sheets not to adhere to each other after a stress relief annealing process in which the magnetic properties are restored by removing the processing stress of the steel sheet.


In addition to these basic properties, excellent coating workability of a coating solution, solution stability that can be used for a long time after mixing, and the like are also required. Such an insulating film can be manufactured as an electrical steel laminate only when a separate fastening method such as welding, clamping, or interlocking is used.

Hereinafter, each step will be described in detail.


First, the adhesive coating composition is prepared. Since the adhesive coating composition has been described above, the duplicate description will be omitted.

The plurality of electrical steel sheets having the adhesive coating layers are laminated and thermal-fused to form a fusion layer 20. Through the thermal-fusing step, polymer components in the adhesive coating layer are thermal-fused to form the fusion layer.

Hereinafter, preferable Examples of the present invention and Comparative Examples will be described. However, the following Examples are merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following Examples.


Experimental Example A non-oriented electrical steel sheet (50×50 mm, 0.35 mmt) was prepared as a blank specimen. An adhesive coating solution was applied to the top and bottom of each prepared blank specimen using a bar coater or roll coater at a predetermined thickness, cured at 150 to 200° C. based on the sheet temperature for 20 seconds, and then slowly cooled in air to form an adhesive coating layer.


As the adhesive coating solution, bonding solutions having compositions of Tables 1 and 2 were used. Table 1 showed the use of a urethane resin alone, and Table 2 showed the use of an epoxy resin alone or a mixture of epoxy and urethane. The composition of the adhesive coating solution other than the bonding resin included 0.5 parts by weight of a silane coupling agent, 0.1 parts by weight of a silicone-based wetting agent, 1 parts by weight of a dicyandiamide-based curing agent and 0.5 parts by weight of an imidazole-based curing catalyst based on 100 parts by weight of the bonding resin.


MDI in Table 1 means methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, TDI means toluene diisocyanate, and PPG is poly(propylene glycol) (number molecular weight of 425 g/mol).


As the epoxy resin, a Bisphenol A Type epoxy resin having a number average molecular weight of 10,000 g/mol and a hydroxyl value of 10 mgKOH/g was used.


The electrical steel sheets coated with the adhesive coating layers were laminated to a height of 20 mm, and then thermal-fused at 160° C. for 10 minutes by pressing with a force of 0.5 MPa. After thermal fusion, the thickness of the fusion layer was about 6 μm. The thermal-fused fusion products were evaluated for each type of solution. As evaluation items, peel adhesion (T-peel, N/mm) and ATF resistance were evaluated and shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.


Each measurement method was as follows.


The specimen standard for peel off (T-peel off) measurement was prepared in accordance with ISO 11339. Two specimens of 25×200 mm were bonded with an area of 25×150 mm2, and then an unbonded area was bent at 90° to produce a T-shaped tensile specimen. The specimens manufactured by the peel off method (T-peel off) were fixed to upper/lower jigs with a constant force, and then pulled at a constant speed and measured using a device for measuring the tensile force of the laminated samples. At this time, in the case of a shear method, the measured value was measured at a point where an interface with the minimum adhesion was separated among the interfaces of the laminated samples. After maintaining the temperature of the specimen at 60° C. through a heating device, the adhesion was measured.


Method for evaluating ATF resistance: When a drive motor was used in a vehicle, a lot of heat was generated during long-term rotation at a high speed, and an automotive transmission fluid (ATF, automotive transmission oil) was used to cool the heat. Accordingly, in order to secure adhesion reliability during long-term use, it is important to maintain the adhesion of laminated coils in a state impregnated with a high-temperature ATF. Accordingly, the ATF resistance was evaluated. Shear adhesion was tested after immersing the prepared laminated coils in ATF at a temperature of 150° C. for 500 hours.


The shear adhesion to measure the ATF resistance was measured by the shear strength. Specimen specifications for measuring the shear strength were prepared in accordance with ISO 4587. Two specimens of 25×100 mm were bonded with an area of 12.5×25 mm2 and thermal-fused under the conditions to prepare a shear strength specimen.


The specimens manufactured by the shear strength were fixed to upper/lower jigs with a constant force, and then pulled at a constant speed and measured using a device for measuring the tensile force of the laminated samples. At this time, in the case of the shear strength, the measured value was measured at a point where an interface with the minimum adhesion was separated among the interfaces of the laminated samples.

As a result of Tables 1 and 2, it was confirmed that Example containing only polyurethane as a bonding resin was excellent in both T-peel property and AFT resistance. In particular, as a result of Table 2, it was confirmed that the T-peel property (peeling property) was inferior even when epoxy was used alone as well as when urethane was mixed with epoxy.
