Steel physically “moves” in electric motors since they rely on contemporary electrical steel to move a vehicle forward. A fully electrified car weighs between forty and a hundred kg of non-grain-oriented electrical steel.
Steel producers are concentrating on strengthening and thinning electrical steel, a magnetically soft material, without affecting its magnetism. As a result, the motor’s total weight is decreased. In order to offset the still hefty weight of the batteries and reduce the total weight of the vehicle, the trend toward lightweight construction is also vital in electric cars.
The Spain EV Steel Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Global Steel Wire (GSW), a member of the CELSA Group, is modernizing operations at its Santander steel mill with the help of a package of digital-ready solutions tailored specifically for the metals industry from global technology company ABB, including infrastructure for drives, controllers, and converters.
Wire rods, cables, and ropes are just a few of the steel goods that GSW makes and sells. Both mattress springs and the car sector frequently employ high-quality steel wires.
The steelmaker had been investigating the use of digital technology to optimize the production of rolling wire and would now gain from the knowledge and experience of ABB in the metals sector.
ABB will deliver its MEGADRIVE-LCI medium voltage drives for high power applications, together with AC 800PEC controllers, as part of the deal.
A cutting-edge converter known as MEGADRIVE-LCI offers gentle starting and variable speed control of big synchronous machines for a variety of industrial applications.
A fuseless drive design and sturdy thyristor components, which enable quick and successful startup, will be used in the technology to deliver reliability. Demand-based medium voltage drives will improve process effectiveness and reduce energy usage.
