TRAN-COR® H CARLITE® products are suitable for all types of transformers
while TRAN-COR H DR® (Domain Refined) products are suitable for
those types of transformers where a stress relief annealing treatment of
the magnetic core is not used. Stress relief annealing will result in the
eradication of the effect provided by the laser treatment and will result in
a significant increase in core loss.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TRAN-COR H CARLITE high permeability electrical steels offer an
outstanding degree of grain orientation, This combination of higher
permeability with low residual stress offers the potential for lower core
losses and less noisy transformer core structures, particularly at higher
operating inductions, when compared to conventional grain oriented
electrical steels. The core loss characteristics are further enhanced in
the TRAN-COR H CARLITE DR (Domain Refined) products where laser
scribing is employed. In this process, a precisely focused laser beam is
rapidly scanned across the steel surface. The micro-strain imparted into
the material forces the pre-existing magnetic domains to subdivide. The
finer domain structure reduces the distance that the domain walls must
move during AC magnetization, thereby reducing eddy current losses.
The result is far lower core loss than possible with conventional grain
DOING OUR PART oriented electrical steels of comparable thickness.
AK Steel’s electrical steel products contain approximately 75 – 85%

of post-consumer and post-industrial recycled materials. This content FORMS AND STANDARD SIZES
comes largely from the re-melting of scrap steel products. Not only does Nominal Thickness

CARLITE 3 SURFACE INSULATION

AK Steel’s TRAN-COR H products are supplied with CARLITE 3 insulative
coating, an inorganic coating equivalent to ASTM A976 C-5. CARLITE 3
insulation is ideal for materials that will be used in the form of sheared
laminations for power transformers and other apparatus with high
volts per turn. In addition to supplying all the benefits of C-5 insulation,
CARLITE 3 provides other important advantages which include:
• Potential for reduced transformer building factor from added

resistance to elastic strain damage.
• Potential for reduction of magnetostriction related transformer noise.
• High stacking factor.
• Easy assembly due to smoothness of coating (low coefficient
of friction).

SPECIFICATIONS
In terms of maximum core loss, TRAN-COR H specifications are determined at 1.5T and 1.7T at either 50Hz or 60Hz. Core loss and induction grading are
conducted using as-sheared single sheet test samples which are tested in accordance with ASTM test method A804. Induction is specified at 800 A/m.
Samples are secured from each end of the coil and the higher core loss value is used for certification of conformance to product grade guarantees.

Typical single sheet core loss values versus test induction for TRAN-COR H CARLITE and CARLITE DR are provided on page 9. Typical SRA Epstein core loss values versus test
induction for TRAN-COR H CARLITE are provided on page 11. SRA Epstein testing is not applicable to TRAN-COR CARLITE DR products since the domain refinement treatment is
eradicated upon annealing at temperatures greater than 600 °C. The core loss and exciting power of the AK Steel TRAN-COR H grades are determined by magnetic tests performed in
accordance with general procedures approved by the American Society for Testing and Materials. The following conditions apply:
1. Results for as-sheared single sheet specimens from fully processed material cut parallel to the rolling direction of the coil and tested per ASTM A804.
2. Density of all grades (7.65 gm/cm3) per ASTM A34.
ASTM A664 is a grade identification system for electrical steels. While this system has not been widely adopted by manufacturers and consumers of electrical steels, it is used in
ASTM A876 to designate various grades of grain oriented electrical steel. The following is a listing of AK Steel and equivalent ASTM grades:
AK Steel grades H-0 CARLITE and H-0 CARLITE DR are approximately equivalent to ASTM Core Loss Types 23P060 and 23Q054, respectively.
AK Steel grades H-1 CARLITE and H-1 CARLITE DR are approximately equivalent to ASTM Core Loss Types 27P066 and 27Q057, respectively.
AK Steel grades H-2 CARLITE and H-2 CARLITE DR have no equivalent ASTM Core Loss Type designations.

SURFACE INSULATION CURVES

Figure 1 shows the variation of surface insulation resistivity versus pressure. The
range of surface insulation resistivity values between the upper and lower lines are
typical of those for CARLITE 3 insulated surfaces as determined by the Franklin Test
method (ASTM A717). However, the user should recognize that the normally small
variations in mill oxide and coating thickness within a lot necessitate allowing for
test values lower as well as higher than those shown in the curves.

Representative lamination factors for AK Steel Oriented Electrical Steels at various pressures.
LAMINATION FACTOR
Lamination factor is the measure of compactness of an electrical steel core. This is also referred to as “stacking factor” and “space factor.”
Lamination factor is the ratio of the equivalent “solid” volume, calculated from weight and density of the steel, to the actual volume of the
compressed pack, determined from its dimensions. Special processing gives AK Steel’s Oriented Electrical Steels exceptionally and consistently
high lamination factors.
TEST METHOD
The lamination factor of electrical steels is determined from measurements of a stack of Epstein strips under known pressure, 345 kPa (50 psi.),
in accordance with ASTM A719. Figure 2 illustrates how the lamination factor varies as a function of pressure for AK Steel TRAN-COR H Electrical
Steels. The values shown are representative of the lamination factor determined by this test. Lamination factors determined in accordance with IEC
60404-13 will be approximately 0.5 percent higher than these values due to the higher pressure specified in that test method 1 MPa (145 psi.).

*Values may vary as much as plus or minus 5%.

MAGNETOSTRICTION
Low magnetostriction coefficients are inherent to TRAN-COR H owing
to the combination of the high degree of grain orientation, low residual
strain after thermal flattening and high degree of residual tension
imparted by the CARLITE 3 coating. The information below, while
purely comparative in nature, is considered to be representative of
AK Steel’s TRAN-COR H products.

TEST METHOD
The above data is meant for comparative purposes only and was
developed using stress-relief Epstein specimens from representative
samples which were prepared in accordance with ASTM A876. The
samples were subjected to domain refinement (where required) and
were tested using AK Steel Research laboratory facilities. While there
are no agreed upon standard test methods for magnetostriction, these
data were acquired using an accelerometer-based measurement
of crossover-to-tip displacement of many individual Epstein strips
which were tested at a frequency of 60 Hz over the range of induction
shown above. The magnetostriction values are, to our best knowledge,
believed to be representative of commercially produced materials.

The aim thickness values are based on the test sample weight
plus typical coating thickness such as would be measured using
a contacting micrometer caliper. The typical coating thickness is
0.005 – 0.010 mm (0.0002 – 0.0004 in.). Thickness measured at any
point on the sheet not less than 10 mm (0.375 in.) from an edge shall
not deviate more than +/- 0.020 mm (0.0008 in. ) from the average
thickness of the test lot or coil.

CAMBER TOLERANCES
The deviation of a side edge from a straight line over a length of
2 m (80 in.), or a fraction thereof, shall not exceed 2.54 mm (0.1 in.).
FLATNESS TOLERANCES
Because of the wide range of processing treatments employed to
meet the published core loss values for the various types and classes
of flat rolled electrical steels, and because ordinary supplemental
flattening operations employed on other steel products cannot be
used due to their effects on magnetic quality, it has not been feasible
to prepare flatness tolerance tables for flat rolled electrical steel.
Some applications, and certain types of fabricating techniques
for construction of magnetic cores, are tolerant of certain flatness
deviations. However, it is generally recognized that sharp, short waves
and buckles are objectionable and should be avoided as much as
possible. The producer should determine the flatness requirements for
its particular application and the suitability of this electrical steel.
