Abstract
Abstract The insulating film comprised mainly of phosphate or chromate is improved in its insulation property required for the laminated core e.g., a transformer, the blanking property required for manufacturing the core sections from the electrical steel sheet, and the lamination weldability. The organic resin particles used for controlling the surface roughness of the film are preliminarily treated with a dispersion improver, and then added to the emulsion resin, which is then mixed with the phosphate or chromate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A method for forming an insulating film on an electrical steel sheet, comprising the steps of: (a) surface-treating organic resin particles having a diameter of from 2 μm to 50 μm with a predetermined amount of dispersion improver; (b) adding a predetermined amount of said surface-treated organic resin particles into an emulsion resin solution; (c) mixing a predetermined amount of said emulsion resin solution, into which said surfacetreated organic resin particles are added and dispersed, with a solution containing an at least one inorganic component selected from the group consisting of phosphate and chromate; (d) applying a predetermined amount of the obtained mixture in step(c) on a surface of the electrical steel sheet; and, (e) baking the applied mixture at a temperature at which the organic resin particles are semimelted and provide a surface roughness Ra in the range of from 0.5 μm to 1.5 μm, thereby enabling a stable formation of an insulating film having improved blanking and insulation properties and weldability, over a long period of treatment time.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
170 words
A method for forming an insulating film on an electrical steel sheet, comprising the steps of: (a) surface-treating organic resin particles having a diameter of from 2 μm to 50 μm with a predetermined amount of dispersion improver; (b) adding a predetermined amount of said surface-treated organic resin particles into an emulsion resin solution; (c) mixing a predetermined amount of said emulsion resin solution, into which said surfacetreated organic resin particles are added and dispersed, with a solution containing an at least one inorganic component selected from the group consisting of phosphate and chromate; (d) applying a predetermined amount of the obtained mixture in step(c) on a surface of the electrical steel sheet; and, (e) baking the applied mixture at a temperature at which the organic resin particles are semimelted and provide a surface roughness Ra in the range of from 0.5 μm to 1.5 μm, thereby enabling a stable formation of an insulating film having improved blanking and insulation properties and weldability, over a long period of treatment time.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the dispersion improver is at least one selected from the group consisting of a nonionic surface active agent, an anionic surface-active agent, a cationic surface-active agent, and an amphoretic surface-active agent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the amount of dispersion improver is from 0.05 to 5 parts relative to 100 parts of the organic resin particles.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method according to claim 3, wherein the total amount of the organic resin particles and emulsion resin is from 3 to 200 parts relative to 100 parts of the inorganic components.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method according to claim 4, wherein the organic resin particles are in an amount of from 5 to 60% based on the total of organic resin particles and the emulsion resin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
79 words
A method according to claim 7, wherein the electrical steel sheet is in the form of a coil weighing from 3 to 30 tons, and further comprising a step (f) of performing the step (d) for approximately 200 tons of coils, and a step of repeating the steps (a)-(e) for another approximately 200 tons of coil, thereby attaining virtually constant values of the surface roughness Ra and the weight of insulating film over the whole tonnage of treated coils.
