| Abstract Scope |
Increasing the silicon content in electrical steels enhances the magnetic properties, but it also causes challenges in manufacturing the steel using conventional methods. Additive manufacturing (AM), specifically laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), offers a potential alternative for fabricating electrical steel cores with complex geometries to avoid the conventional cold deformation of the steel. Understanding how the additive manufacturing parameters influence the material behavior is critical for optimizing the performance of the soft magnetic core. This study explores the feasibility of fabricating electrical steel laminates by AM, focusing on the printability, microstructural evolution, and the resulting magnetic properties. By examining the relationship between the process parameters and material characteristics, it aims to provide insights into the evolution of microstructure and texture during AM. The findings contribute to advancing AM for electromagnetic components, addressing manufacturing limitations and exploring new pathways for manufacturing soft magnetic materials. |
