Integrated study and model development for non-oriented electrical steels: material microstructure and magnetic properties

能源多样性正在迅速成为我们社会的必需品，并将导致我们日常生活的重大变化。一个预测的变化是电动汽车的发展和整合到北美运输行业。目前，工程师和科学家正在努力使这一预测成为现实。该提案提供了一个重要的难题，将提高工程师设计强大的电动汽车的能力，这些汽车将具有显著和可持续的市场渗透率，并对我们的社会产生有益的影响。学术和工业团队将对无取向电工钢的化学和结构与这种材料的磁性能之间的联系有一个新的认识。无取向电工钢是电动机的核心，需要超越当前的性能水平。了解目前使用的材料的局限性，并将这种理解纳入预测磁性能的模型中，将使工程师能够进一步优化材料和工程设计，使下一代电动机具有高性能，坚固，可靠，并成为未来电动汽车的现实。

Energy diversity is quickly becoming a necessity for our society and will lead to significant changes to our everyday lives. One predicted change is the development and integration of electric vehicles into the North American transportation industry. Currently, engineers and scientists are working to make this prediction a reality. This proposal provides a significant piece of the puzzle that will increase the ability of engineers to design robust electric vehicles that will have significant and sustainably market penetration and a beneficial impact on our society. The academic and industry team will develop a new understanding of the connection between the chemistry and structure of non-oriented electrical steel and the magnetic performance of this material. Non-oriented electrical steel is at the heart of the electric motor, which needs to be pushed beyond the current levels of performance. Understanding the limitations of the materials currently used and including this understanding in a model to predict magnetic performance will allow for engineers to further optimize materials and the engineering design to make the next generation of electric motors high performance, robust, reliable and a reality for electric vehicles of the future.
