Static Iron Core Assembly

1. Core Definition and Functions

Static core assemblies are the core magnetic circuit components in motors, transformers and electromagnetic equipment. They form low-loss magnetic flux paths by laminating or forming high-permeability materials such as silicon steel sheets and amorphous alloys. Its core functions include:

Magnetic circuit conduction: Guides the efficient transmission of magnetic flux, reducing leakage magnetic flux and magnetic resistance losses.

Energy conversion: In transformers, it realizes the conversion from electrical energy to magnetic energy to electrical energy, and in motors, it supports the electromagnetic interaction between the rotor and stator.

Structural support: Withstands mechanical stress (such as vibration and thermal expansion) to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

2. Key application scenarios

Power equipment: transformers (such as distribution transformers, power transformers), reactors, and mutual inductors, with requirements for high magnetic permeability and low loss.

Industrial motors: industrial pumps, compressors, fans, and conveyor belt drive motors, which need to be heat-resistant and vibration-resistant.

In the field of new energy: electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, solar inverters, emphasizing lightweight and high efficiency.

Special equipment: scientific research instruments, aerospace equipment (such as satellite power supplies), military equipment, which require magnetic performance stability in extreme environments.

3. Material selection and performance optimization

Traditional materials: Silicon steel sheets (such as non-oriented/oriented silicon steel) reduce eddy current losses through lamination processes, and surface insulating coatings (such as alumina) suppress interlayer short circuits.

New materials

Amorphous alloy: Ultra-low iron loss (70-80% lower than silicon steel), suitable for high-frequency transformers.

Nanocrystalline materials: High saturation magnetic induction intensity and low coercive force, used in precision motors and sensors.

Soft magnetic composite materials (SMCs) : By combining iron powder with resin, they feature low eddy current loss and good mechanical strength, making them suitable for high-speed motors.

Surface treatment: Anodizing, galvanizing, PTFE coating to enhance corrosion resistance; Laser cladding enhances wear resistance.

4. Manufacturing processes and technological innovation

Lamination process: Silicon steel sheets are punched and laser-cut into specific shapes, and then laminated and fixed by welding or riveting to ensure interlayer insulation and magnetic circuit continuity.

Forming technology

Spinning forming: Used for bowl-shaped plugs and complex curved surface structures to enhance material density.

3D printing: Enabling rapid prototyping of complex geometric structures and reducing material waste.

Automated assembly: Precise stacking by robots and laser welding enhance production efficiency and consistency.

Heat treatment and surface treatment: Annealing to relieve stress, carburizing/nitriding to enhance surface hardness; Micro-arc oxidation enhances wear resistance.

5. Quality control and testing standards

Dimensional accuracy: Outer diameter/inner diameter tolerance ±0.01-±0.05mm, surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm, ensuring the uniformity of the magnetic circuit.

Magnetic property test

Iron loss test: Eddy current loss and hysteresis loss are measured in accordance with ASTM A343 standard.

Magnetic flux density: Saturation magnetic induction and coercive force are evaluated through the B-H curve.

Environmental adaptability: Corrosion resistance is verified through high/low temperature cycling tests and salt spray tests. Vibration testing simulates actual working conditions.

International standards: IEC 60404-8-1 (Silicon steel core quality), JIS C 2552 (Japanese Industrial Standard), GB/T 2521 (Chinese National Standard).

6. Design optimization and innovation paths

Intelligent assembly: The application of a visual inspection system ensures the alignment of stacked pieces, and the automatic press-fitting by robots reduces human errors.

Environmental protection and sustainability: Recycled materials (such as recycled silicon steel) and water-based coatings reduce environmental pollution. The modular design facilitates maintenance and upgrades.

7. Customized considerations for special scenarios

High-temperature environment: Select heat-resistant alloys (such as Inconel 718) or ceramic coatings, in combination with high-temperature lubricants.

Corrosive environment: Stainless steel, titanium alloy or PTFE coating enhances corrosion resistance; The sealed structure prevents the medium from entering.
