Optimising motor designs

Reliable, highly efficient and powerful motors

Continuous improvement often forms the basis of successful technology. It’s the same for electric motors in automotive applications. Even as the first surge of electric vehicles is entering the market, engineers are already designing the next generation of electric motors to be more sustainable, more efficient and to perform better. The application of next generation non-oriented electrical steels in electric motors, with further optimised designs, is key to achieving these goals. Partnerships between material suppliers, stampers and e-motor designers can make a difference.

Electrical steel for next generation designs

Today’s electric motors in automotive are always designed for a specific application. Different material requirements will arise depending on the chosen technology and motor design. The requirements will vary in permeability, magnetic losses and yield strength, among others. The material’s gauge is also important, not only to meet performance but for processing requirements. This wide range of options requires electrical steels to be versatile, which is exactly what our Hi-Lite product range of non-oriented electrical steels aims for. Hi-Lite opens up a world of possibilities when designing high frequency applications. It helps you achieve harmony between size, weight, energy efficiency and performance.
