Motor Lamination Material Market

Motor Lamination Material Market: Overview

Motor lamination materials which are made up of silicon steel helps in increasing the electrical resistance of magnetic fields to pass through it. Bonding lamination technology is expected to have leading revenue share as it helps in thinner laminations. Increasing demand for cars, electric vehicles, due to the rising emission norms may act as drivers for the market growth. Other than that, application of electric motors in consumer electronics, automobile motors using electric motors increases the requirement of motor laminations. Recent developments in the sector through research and development and investments by manufacturers are mentioned below.

Big River Steel in December 2020 successfully commissioned expansion of SMS Group supplied steel mill. The SMS group supplied the 3 million tonnes of mechanical equipments, electrical automation systems, and the digitalisation technology. With this, Big river steel operates two electric furnaces and two twin-ladle furnaces. The CSP plant of Big River Steel produces up to 1,930 millimetres wide coil which is making it one of the widest CSP plants in the world. The SMS group is a group of companies active in plant construction and mechanical engineering for the steel and non-ferrous metals industry.

In 2019, EuroGroup Laminations have developed a groundbreaking system using glue to firmly fasten laminations together and makes it possible to automatically stack the metal sheets inside the die and maintain excellent magnetic properties. This new technique called as GlueFastec, is perfect for a thin lamination sheet. These can be used in electric vehicles, as there is a trend to use thinner laminations because of the magnetic characteristics of its core pack. This GlueFastec technology can improve motor efficiency allowing for high-speed stamping and assembly of thin materials, without adding mechanical stress.

Introduction

Motor lamination materials are materials that are used in the fabrication of the motor unit. These materials enhance the properties of the motor unit & reduce losses. In the commercial market, motor lamination is often referred to as stator lamination & rotor lamination. Motor lamination materials are the metal part of the stator & rotor comprises thin lamination sheets piled together. Motor lamination materials can be stacked, welded, and bonded together, depending upon the need of the application.

The motor lamination process is an integral part of motor designing and the selection of motor lamination material is of prime importance as many of the properties largely depend on the motor lamination material used. Heat rise, weight, cost, and motor output are some of the key characteristics which are extremely influenced by the type of motor lamination material used. Numerous types of motor lamination materials are present in the commercial marketplace.

The choice of motor lamination material for different weights & sizes of the motor assembly depends on various criteria and factors, such as permeability, cost, flux density, and core losses. The processing of the motor lamination material may have a large influence on the efficacy of the unit being assembled.

In the commercial market, the demand for steel-based products as motor lamination material is prominent. Silicon Steel is turning over as the preferred material of choice in the motor lamination materials market. Adding silicon to steel improves electrical resistance and increases the capability of the magnetic field. Also, silicon increases the corrosion resistance ability of silicon steel as a motor lamination material.

Motor Lamination Material Market: Market Dynamics

Growing demand for high motor efficiency is expected to create demand for novel motor lamination materials. Expansion of end-use industries, such as industrial, automotive, oil & gas industry and consumer goods, among others, will create significant demand for motor lamination materials over the forecast period. Key manufacturers are focusing on decreasing the size of motors without changing their prices, which will further create demand space for high end motor lamination materials.

Also, in order to increase the performance of motors and reduce heat losses, market participants are investing heavily to formulate novel motor lamination materials. Amorphous iron & nano-crystalline iron are some of the advanced motor lamination materials being used. However, the fabrication of motor lamination material requires lots of energy and mechanical forces, which further increases the overall manufacturing cost of motor lamination materials. Moreover, fluctuating raw material prices may hinder the motor lamination materials market.
