BS EN 10106:2015

What is BS EN 10106 - Cold rolled non-oriented electrical steel strip and sheet about? 

BS EN 10106 is an international standard that focuses on types of electrical steel strips and sheets. 

BS EN 10106 specifies cold-rolled non-oriented electrical steel strip and sheet in nominal thicknesses of 0.35 mm, 0.50 mm, 0.65 mm, and 1.00 mm.  

BS EN 10106 specifies general requirements, the magnetic properties, geometric characteristics and tolerances, technological characteristics as well as the inspection procedure. 

BS EN 10106 applies to materials supplied in the fully annealed condition intended for the construction of magnetic circuits.  

Note 1: BS EN 10106 does not apply to semi-processed material. 

Note 2: These magnetic materials correspond to IEC 60404-1:2000, C.2.3.2.1. 

Who is BS EN 10106 - Cold rolled non-oriented electrical steel strip and sheet for?  

BS EN 10106 on cold-rolled non-oriented electrical steel strips and sheets is relevant to: 

• Metallurgical engineers 
• Metal casting companies 
• Manufacturers and suppliers of electrical steel strip and sheet  
• Testing laboratories for electrical steel strip and sheet 

Why should you use BS EN 10106 - Cold rolled non-oriented electrical steel strip and sheet? 

Electrical steel strips and sheets are very functional elements of electrical devices like motors, generators, transformers, etc. They are manufactured by modifying the magnetic properties of steel for efficient magnetism and electricity conversion. Losses in power generation, transmission, and consumption are reduced, which contributes to energy saving. 

 BS EN 10106 provides you with mandatory information about the specifications of the electrical steel strip and sheet that needs to be taken care of, at the time of processing the steel strips and sheets. These requirements help you for producing the appropriate non-oriented cold-rolled electrical steel strips and sheets that are compatible and efficient for the electrical equipment, according to global standards.  

BS EN 10106 also covers the grades that are classified according to the value of the maximum specific total loss in watts per kilogram and according to the nominal thickness of the material (0.35 mm, 0.50 mm, 0.65 mm, and 1.00 mm). This helps the users to choose the sheets and strips that are suitable for their requirements. 

Overall, BS EN 10106 is useful as it guides with cold-rolled non-oriented electrical steel strips and sheets delivered in the fully processed state which can be helpful for your business.
