Overview
CEN/TR 18048:2024 provides a practical guideline for the mechanical testing methods used to qualify self-bonding coating assemblies on non‑oriented electrical steels. The Technical Report defines sample preparation, calibration and reporting practices needed to produce reproducible, reference-quality results for supplier qualification, production quality evaluation and design validation. It applies only to self-bonding (bondable) varnishes on non‑oriented electrical steel stacks and does not replace tests of the coating film alone or of the base steel.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Test methods covered:
- Floating roller (peel) test - reference EN 1464. Measures peel resistance per lamination; common stack sizes 25 × 200 mm (Epstein strips 30 mm possible). Report peeling force in N/mm, sample geometry, curing conditions; peel length and crosshead rate (default 100 ± 5 mm/min) must be recorded.
- Lap-shear test - reference EN 1465. Determines tensile lap-shear strength; typical overlap 12.5 × 25 mm, use backing to avoid lamination necking, test speed commonly 10 mm/min; report maximum and mean strength in MPa, geometry and curing conditions.
- T‑peel test - reference EN ISO 11339. Peeling of two laminations simultaneously (commonly 25 × 200 mm samples, peel point ≈ 50 mm from edge). Repeat on multiple stacks and report individual and average N/mm values.
- Pull‑off test - reference EN ISO 4624. Permits perpendicular adhesion checks but has limitations for bonding varnishes because test dollies differ from electrical steel surface.
- Sample preparation and calibration:
- Control cutting burrs (stack burrs in same direction or deburr edges).
- Assemble stacks under specified compression, cure time and temperature; document all curing parameters.
- Report number of replicates (EN methods commonly use 5 samples; floating-roller averages of ≥2 consistent results accepted).
- Environmental and temperature testing:
- Perform tests across operating temperatures (account for glass transition effects) after thermal ageing or exposure to media.
- Thermal endurance (ageing, machine exploitation temperatures, Al die‑casting effects) and environmental endurance (humidity, cooling liquids, oils, impregnation fluids) are explicitly addressed; test profiles agreed between manufacturer and purchaser.
Applications and users
- Primary users: electrical steel manufacturers, coating formulators, motor and generator designers, testing laboratories, procurement and quality engineers.
- Typical applications: qualification of rotor/stator stacks in wind generators, automotive traction motors, and high‑efficiency industrial machines where stack integrity and absence of delamination are critical.

Introduction
EN 10342 describes the electrical steel coating types. The electrical steels ordered according to standards
EN 10106, EN 10265, EN 10303, EN 10341 are supplied either with or without such a coating.
CEN/TR 18048 describes the measurements necessary to qualify these coatings.
The particular case of self-bonding coatings (also called bondable coatings) have as additional
specification, beyond providing an insulation layer, to assure a glued connection between superposed
laminations. This implies the strength of this bonded assembly needs to be assessed, for qualification
purposes. This multi-material assembly needs specific precautions for establishing its mechanical
strength level. Different standards exist, but these are not necessarily dedicated to electrical steel
coatings. The lack of a clear description of which evaluation method to use, with which calibration
methods, sample preparation, etc. brings inconsistency in obtained measurement results. The purpose of
this technical report is to overcome the problem of differences in mechanical assessment of self-bonding
coating assemblies, by combining the aspects of Non-Oriented Electrical Steel self-bonding coating
mechanical testing in a clear guideline. This does not involve the mechanical testing of the coating itself,
nor the mechanical testing of the electrical steel itself.
These self-bonding coating types are used in different electric machine applications such as: wind
generators, high efficiency industry machines, automotive traction motors.
1 Scope
This document describes the mechanical testing methods, relevant for self-bonding coating assemblies
with non-oriented electrical steels. In particular, it describes the mechanical testing methods, sample
preparation, calibration methods, necessary to obtain reliable results that can be considered a reference
for quality evaluation.
This document applies only to self-bonding coatings of non-oriented electrical steels. The tests can be
performed regardless of the time lapse between the coated electrical steel production and the evaluation
of the bonding process of the assembled stack.

4 Floating roller test
4.1 General
The purpose of the method is to determine the peel resistance of the adhesive bond in a sample stack,
registering the peel force for each lamination. Identifying the peel force is relevant for a machine stack,
in particular to assure a good shape of the rotor or stator teeth. Also during shrink fitting operations of
the shaft in the rotor or the housing around the stator, it is important that no delamination occurs.
The test as described in EN 1464 represents the reference methodology. The floating roller peel test for
electrical steels, uses samples of self-bonded non-oriented electrical steel stacks consisting of a rigid part
and a peeled off part. Hence, the rigid part is already a stack of bonded laminations.
4.2 Geometries and testing conditions
The cutting method for producing the testing strips can lead to the formation of burrs. Appropriate
methods to avoid the influence of these burrs on the outcome of the floating roller peel test, can be to
stack the strips with the burrs in the same direction, or else to deburr the edges.
The thickness of the rigid part after completing the test is at least 2,5 mm and the thickness of the peeled
off part is related to the thickness o
