Abstract

Abstract An annealing separator for use on grain-oriented silicon steel strip comprises a magnesium oxide base composition containing rare earth metal oxides. The rare earth metal oxides are present in an amount of 0.8 to 30% by weight of the composition; but in the lower range of 0.8 to 5% by weight, and preferably up to 7% by weight, the oxides have a particle size of less than 325 mesh, and a fraction of 35-55% by weight smaller than 500 mesh. Alkali metal silicate may be present in an amount 5 to 45% by weight. Strip coated with annealing separator of the invention is characterized in that the coating is almost totally free of surface cavities, in that the denitriding and desulfuring rates are greatly accelerated, in that the surface resistivity of the coating is substantially increased, and in that the coating adheres more strongly to the strip.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 91 words
Annealing separator compositions for grain-oriented silicon steel strip, said separator compositions having a magnesium oxide base and containing 0.8 to 35% by weight of at least one member selected from the group consisting of rare earth metal oxides and rare earth metal compounds which yield oxides upon heating, with the provision that when said at least one compound is present in an amount between 0.8 and 5% by weight, said compound has a particle size of less than 325 mesh, and a fraction of 35-55% by weight smaller than 500 mesh.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 91 words
Annealing separator compositions for grain-oriented silicon steel strip, said separator compositions having a magnesium oxide base and containing 0.8 to 35% by weight of at least one member selected from the group consisting of rare earth metal oxides and rare earth metal compounds which yield oxides upon heating, with the provision that when said at least one compound is present in an amount between 0.8 and 5% by weight, said compound has a particle size of less than 325 mesh, and a fraction of 35-55% by weight smaller than 500 mesh.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 47 words
Annealing separator compositions as claimed in claim 1, with the provision that when said compound is present in an amount 0.8 to 7% by weight, said compound has a particle size of less than 325 mesh, and a fraction of 35-55% by weight smaller than 500 mesh.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
