RESUMO

Semi-processed electrical steels require annealing after processing in the motors manufactures to improve motors efficiency by reducing losses and increasing permeability. Annealing in fully processed electrical steel is performed to relax the residual stress and promote recovery or recrystallization of distorted parts. Commercial samples from different steels with different chemical compositions were selected to evaluate the influence of final annealing heat treatment temperature and dew point on the magnetic properties, the carbon content and grain size increase. Were performed with annealing atmosphere without steam and with dew point of 5, 10, 20 and 25C at temperatures of 760 and 790C. Magnetic losses, relative permeability, carbon content, grain size and mechanical properties measurements were made in addition to the evaluation of the microstructure to determine this influence. It was observed in the semi-processed steel with 300 ppm carbon content, which with dew point increase the carbon content reduce the grain size increase and improve magnetic properties. In the other steels studied, reducing the dew point improved the magnetic properties, but the atmosphere without steam has improved only fully processed steel with 2% silicon. It was found that in fully processed steels the best results were obtained with annealing temperature of 790C.
