Electrical steels can be found in every component of a contemporary car, from the tiny motors that move seats and mirrors to the bigger ones that power hybrid or all-electric vehicles’ propulsion systems. In those alternative drive trains, traction motors and generators are especially reliant on highly efficient electrical steels.
Steel physically “moves” in electric motors because they rely on contemporary electrical steel to move a vehicle forward.
A fully electrified car weighs between 40 and 100 kilogrammes of non-grain oriented electrical steel. Steel producers are concentrating on strengthening and thinning electrical steel, a magnetically soft material, without affecting its magnetization. As a result, the motor’s overall weight is decreased.
The South Africa EV Steel Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
For the broadest selection of alternatives for electrical machine builders, ArcelorMittal provides a wide spectrum of electrical steels along with cutting-edge characterisation and modelling tools.
For instance, to suit the needs of automobile traction applications, ArcelorMittal created the iCARe series of cutting-edge, non-oriented, completely treated electrical steel grades.
The iCARe steels offer from ArcelorMittal has been modified and optimised in order to guarantee the lowest losses are attained at a medium frequency range of about 400 Hertz (Hz).
Driving range can be increased thanks to ArcelorMittal’s electrical steel offer’s great energy efficiency. Additionally, they enable machine designers to scale back the cooling systems that electric motors require, resulting in a lighter overall vehicle.
