Non-Oriented Silicon Steel Coil – Surface Treatment

Surface treatment of non-oriented silicon steel not only meets insulation and corrosion resistance requirements but also effectively ensures inter-laminar resistance, reduces eddy current losses, and prevents rust during transportation and storage.

Insulation Coating Types

  • Inorganic Coating (Type S) : Phosphate-chromate based, withstanding up to 800°C and stress relief annealing. Suitable for cores that require annealing.
  • Semi-organic Coating (Type A) : Inorganic + organic hybrid, withstanding up to 450°C. Good stampability and high inter-laminar resistance, ideal for high-speed stamping and stacking.
  • Organic Coating (Type O) : Polymer resin coating, withstanding up to 200°C. Excellent lubrication, suitable for high-speed stamping dies.

Surface Appearance

  • Ordinary Surface: No special treatment, retains the original annealed metal color.
  • Skin-passed Surface: Smoother, denser surface obtained by temper rolling, improving stacking factor.
  • Oil-coated Surface: Coated with anti-rust oil, providing short-term rust protection for long-term storage and sea transportation.

Non-Oriented Silicon Steel Coil – Value-Added Processing

Zhongxin Special Steel is a professional electrical steel processing service provider. We not only supply non-oriented silicon steel mother coils but also offer one-stop value-added processing services.

Non-Oriented Silicon Steel – Slitting

We provide high-precision steel coil slitting services, cutting wide coils into multiple narrow strips at your required width (accuracy ±0.1mm). The slit strips can be directly used for stamping laminations, wound cores, or tube manufacturing, helping you reduce process steps and improve production efficiency.

Non-Oriented Silicon Steel – Leveling & Cut-to-Length

Through leveling production lines, we flatten non-oriented silicon steel coils and shear them into flat sheets at fixed lengths. We supply pre-cut sheets in various dimensions (thickness 0.35–1.0mm, length 100–4000mm, length accuracy ±0.5mm), ready for direct use in stamping stators/rotors or as finished sheet material.

Non-Oriented Silicon Steel – Stamping (Stator & Rotor Cores)

We are equipped with high-precision high-speed stamping production lines that can directly stamp non-oriented silicon steel coils or sheets into motor stator and rotor laminations. We provide loose laminations, interlocked stacked cores, welded cores, and other forms, widely used in household appliance motors, industrial servo motors, new energy vehicle drive motors, etc.

Non-Oriented Silicon Steel – Annealing Treatment

For high-grade non-oriented silicon steel, we offer stress relief annealing services (750–850°C) under a nitrogen hydrogen protective atmosphere. This eliminates stamping stresses, restores and improves magnetic properties, and reduces core loss by 5%–15%.

Non-Oriented Silicon Steel – Recoating

For materials that require a change of coating type or coating repair, we provide roll coating recoating services. We can apply organic, semi-organic, or lead free inorganic insulation coatings to meet your special requirements for inter laminar resistance and thermal class.

Non-Oriented Silicon Steel – Wound Cores

Using non-oriented silicon steel coils, we produce ring shaped, rectangular, or special shaped wound cores on dedicated winding equipment. The products are used in instrument transformers, reactors, small transformers, sensors, and more.

Non-Oriented Silicon Steel – Laser Cutting

For small-batch, multi-variety, or complex shaped core requirements, we provide precision laser cutting services. No tooling is required, rapid prototyping is achieved, cutting accuracy is ±0.05mm, and there is no burr. Suitable for prototype trial production or special motor R&D.
