On November 19, 2020, Waelzholz gave a presentation on the relationship between automotive drive concepts and material requirements at the first digital edition of the 34th<\/sup>  Aachen Steel Colloquium (Aachener Stahlkolloquium). This year\u2019s online event was organized by RWTH Aachen University\u2019s Steel Institute (IEHK)<\/a>. \u201cSteel and more\u201d was the theme of the event, which focused on materials technology topics such as developments and trends in materials for mobility concepts and additive manufacturing. New material design methods and concepts for damage-tolerant material use were also presented in a total of 25 video presentations by experts from the fields of industry, politics, and science.<\/p>\n

As part of the \u201cMaterials for Mobility\u201d lecture series, Norbert Brachth\u00e4user, who is responsible for electrical steel strip materials technology at Waelzholz, among other areas, gave a presentation on drive concepts and the associated demand for cold rolled steel strip and electrical steel strip grades. Using various vehicle components<\/a> as examples, Brachth\u00e4user demonstrated that some materials are still needed for automotive manufacturing, regardless of the drive concept. This applies to the areas of safety, chassis, comfort, and seats. The traditional demand for low carbon steel strip for engines and drive trains, on the other hand, could be reduced or even eliminated in the future, for example in the production of valve cam followers. In contrast, hybrid systems and battery electric vehicles will lead to an enormous increase in demand for special materials such as electrical steel strip<\/a> (figure 1).<\/p>","useBodytextAdditional":false,"bodytextAdditional":""}},{"id":9480,"type":"image","colPos":0,"categories":"","appearance":{"layout":"default","frameClass":"default","spaceBefore":"medium","spaceAfter":"medium","backgroundColor":"grey","backgroundFullWidth":1,"spaceBeforeInside":"medium","spaceAfterInside":"medium","containerSmall":true},"cookie":{"category":"none","message":""},"content":{"panelTitle":"","header":"","subheader":"","headerLayout":0,"headerPosition":"","headerLink":"","enlargeImageOnClick":true,"image":{"url":"https:\/\/pimcore.waelzholz.com\/var\/assets\/website\/images\/news-and-stories\/2020\/201120-drive-technology-cold-rolled-steel-strip\/electromobility-electrical-steel-strip-g-en.svg","title":"Materials for electromobility","alternative":"Material requirements for automotive applications in the engine and powertrain from cold strip to electrical steel schematic diagram","description":"Figure 1: Shift in material requirements for automotive applications in engines and drive trains from low carbon steel strip (orange) to electrical steel strip (green)","link":null,"type":"image","uidLocal":2830,"fileReferenceUid":11479,"dimensions":{"width":1280,"height":395},"extension":"svg","lazyLoading":1},"flexform":null}},{"id":9481,"type":"text","colPos":0,"categories":"","appearance":{"layout":"default","frameClass":"default","spaceBefore":"large","spaceAfter":"large","backgroundColor":"","backgroundFullWidth":0,"spaceBeforeInside":"medium","spaceAfterInside":"medium","containerSmall":false},"cookie":{"category":"none","message":""},"content":{"panelTitle":"","header":"","subheader":"","headerLayout":0,"headerPosition":"","headerLink":"","bodytext":"

Different electrical steel strip specifications are required depending on the electric motor concept, and their properties such as power dissipation, polarization, tensile strength, and workability must be carefully balanced. The strip thickness, for example, plays a crucial role in reducing eddy current losses. With its extremely low nominal thicknesses, Waelzholz\u2019s non-grain-oriented electrical steel strip (NO grades)<\/a> meets this requirement.<\/p>\n

At the end of his presentation, Brachth\u00e4user highlighted the company\u2019s successful joint development work with RWTH Aachen University in the field of NO grades and presented the forecast volume requirements for this material (figure 2). \u201cThe increase in the number of units produced in the field of drive systems will lead to rapid growth in demand for these semi-finished products,\u201d said the electrical steel strip expert.<\/p>","useBodytextAdditional":false,"bodytextAdditional":""}},{"id":9482,"type":"image","colPos":0,"categories":"","appearance":{"layout":"default","frameClass":"default","spaceBefore":"medium","spaceAfter":"","backgroundColor":"grey","backgroundFullWidth":1,"spaceBeforeInside":"medium","spaceAfterInside":"medium","containerSmall":true},"cookie":{"category":"none","message":""},"content":{"panelTitle":"","header":"","subheader":"","headerLayout":0,"headerPosition":"","headerLink":"","enlargeImageOnClick":true,"image":{"url":"https:\/\/pimcore.waelzholz.com\/var\/assets\/website\/images\/news-and-stories\/2020\/201120-drive-technology-cold-rolled-steel-strip\/electromobility-electrical-steel-strip-g-02-en.svg","title":"Materials
