Technical Details of CRGO
 
CRGO or Cold Rolled Grain Oriented Steel is available in various grades
(generally called M3, M4, M5 & M6). Follow link below "more grades of CRGO" for
Major international standards such as Japanese (JIS), American (ASTM), German
(DIN) and British Standards which specify CRGO grade.

Besides the Watt Losses at specific flux densities of 1.5 T and 1.7 T CRGO
manufacturers also give curves of indicating Watt Losses ad A.C. Magnetization
at various flux densities. These curves are of immense help to Transformer
designers, and available on request.

Conventional CRGO materials (M4, M5, M6) are used regularly for cores in

Transformers. However recently due to environmental protection, energy savings
are becoming a very important factor and minimizing care loss in Transformers is
becoming a must. Nippon Steel Corporation has come out with low loss Hi-B
materials, which guarantee low Watt Losses at 1.5 Tesla flux density. Such
materials are called Hi-B materials. Table 3 gives magnetic properties of Hi-B
material. Popular Hi-B grades used in India are 23 MOH & 27 MOH Watt.

NOTES

1. Normally grain oriented steel CRGO tests should be performed at 50 Hz.

However, countries where power supply at 50 Hz is not available, testing
may be carried out at 60 Hz and accordingly product shall conform to the
 specified values given in the above Table. However, in all such cases,the
CRGO product shall also conform to the specified values of above Table of
CRGO when tested in importing country having power supply at 50 Hz.
2. High permeability CRGO grades may be delivered in domain refined
condition (reference suffixd). The magnetic properties of some domain
refined material may deteriorate when the material is subjected to heat
treatment.
3. In case where material gets deteriorated when subjected to heat
treatment, the domain refined CRGO grades need to be checked by Single
Sheet method as given in 14.5 and as per IS649. For other CRGO
lamination or cores grades /other types of domain refined CRGO grades
which do not deteriorate when subjected to heat treatment, the test
method shall be as Epstein as given in 14.1 and as per IS 649 CRGO.
