Magnetic materials - Part 12: Methods of test for the assessment of the thermal endurance of surface insulation coatings on electrical steel strip and sheet
IEC 60404-12:2023 is applicable to surface insulation coatings on electrical steel strip and sheet classified in IEC 60404-1-1.
This document defines the general principles and technical details of the tests for the assessment of the thermal endurance of surface insulation coatings on electrical steel strip and sheet.
The assessment is made by evaluating the change of a specified property of the surface insulation coating due to a heat treatment at a specified temperature up to 850 °C for a specified duration time up to 2 500 h. The specified property is measured at an ambient temperature of (23 ± 5) °C both without heat treatment and after heat treatment.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
the method of test for adhesion has been modified to match to the method of bend test specified in ISO 1519 using a cylindrical mandrel of 32 mm in diameter instead of the 30 mm diameter mandrel specified in the first edition;
the method of test for interlaminar insulation resistance has been modified to match to the method specified in IEC 60404-11 and the modified Franklin test has been removed;
the method of test for compressibility has been modified to match to the method of test for stacking factor specified in IEC 60404-13;
the concept of "resistance grades" has been removed;
the clamping pressure to be used at temperature ratings above 500 °C has been reduced to (0,01 ± 0,001) N/mm2;
the testing for continuous exposure has been made a subject to an agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser and the procedure has been moved to an informative Annex A.
Matériaux magnétiques - Partie 12: Méthodes d’essai pour l’évaluation de l’endurance thermique des revêtements isolants superficiels des bandes et tôles en acier électrique
L’IEC 60404-12:2023 s'applique aux revêtements isolants superficiels des bandes et tôles en acier électrique classées dans l’IEC 60404-1-1.
Le présent document définit les principes généraux et les éléments techniques des essais relatifs à l’évaluation de l’endurance thermique des revêtements isolants superficiels des bandes et tôles en acier électrique.
L'évaluation consiste à apprécier la variation d’une propriété spécifiée du revêtement isolant superficiel du fait d’un traitement thermique à une température spécifiée allant jusqu’à 850 °C pendant une durée spécifiée maximale de 2 500 h. La propriété spécifiée est mesurée à une température ambiante de (23 ± 5) °C sans traitement thermique et après un traitement thermique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
la méthode d'essai d’adhérence a été modifiée afin de correspondre à la méthode d’essai de pliage spécifiée dans l’ISO 1519, qui utilise un mandrin cylindrique d’un diamètre de 32 mm en lieu et place du mandrin d’un diamètre de 30 mm spécifié dans la première édition;
la méthode d’essai de résistance d'isolation interlaminaire a été modifiée afin de correspondre à la méthode spécifiée dans l’IEC 60404-11 et l’essai de Franklin modifié a été supprimé;
la méthode d’essai de compressibilité a été modifiée afin de correspondre à la méthode d’essai du facteur de foisonnement spécifiée dans l’IEC 60404-13;
le concept de "niveaux de résistance" a été supprimé;
la pression de serrage à utiliser à des températures assignées supérieures à 500 °C a été réduite à (0,01 ± 0,001) N/mm2;
L’essai d’exposition continue a fait l’objet d’un accord entre le fabricant et l’acheteur et la procédure a été déplacée vers une Annexe A informative.

Part 12: Methods of test for the assessment of the thermal endurance

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60404-12 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 68: Magnetic alloys and steels.
It is an International Standard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1992. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) the method of test for adhesion has been modified to match to the method of bend test
specified in ISO 1519 using a cylindrical mandrel of 32 mm in diameter instead of the 30 mm
diameter mandrel specified in t
