Abstract

A material for laminated iron cores is used as plural steel sheets to be overlapped with one another and punched when a laminated iron core is manufactured. A surface roughness of the steel sheets forming the material for laminated iron cores is at an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.40 [μm] or less, and a sheet thickness deviation in a sheet width direction of at least a portion used as the laminated iron core is 3 [μm] or less per 500 [mm], the portion being of the steel sheets forming the material for laminated iron cores.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of manufacturing a laminated iron core, the method comprising:
a cold rolling surface treatment step of performing cold rolling and surface treatment on plural steel sheets for:
adjusting a surface roughness of each of the plural steel sheets to be an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.40 μm or less,
adjusting a sheet thickness deviation in a sheet width direction of at least a portion used as the laminated iron core to be 3 μm or less per length of 500 mm in the sheet width direction, the portion being of each of the plural steel sheets, and
adjusting a value, which is added up of a value resulting from multiplication of the sheet thickness deviation by 0.05, and the surface roughness, to be less than 0.5 μm;

an overlapping step of overlapping the plural steel sheets with one another, each of the plural steel sheets having the surface roughness and the sheet thickness deviation that have been adjusted in the cold rolling surface treatment step;
a punching step of simultaneously punching the overlapped plural steel sheets, and obtaining punched out bodies from the plural steel sheets, wherein the punched out bodies have a circularity in the range of 0.06 mm to 0.28 mm; and
a laminating and integrating step of laminating and integrating together the punched out bodies and forming the laminated iron core.

2. The method of manufacturing the laminated iron core, according to claim 1 , wherein the step of cold rolling surface treatment step of performing cold rolling and surface treatment on plural steel sheets further comprises adjusting a sheet thickness of the plural steel sheets to be 0.25 mm or less.

3. The method of manufacturing the laminated iron core, according to claim 1 , the method further comprising:
a pressing step of pressing the overlapped plural steel sheets in a sheet thickness direction thereof, and removing air that is present between overlapped surfaces of the plural steel sheets, wherein
in the punching step, the plural steel sheets, in which the air has been removed from between the overlapped surfaces, are simultaneously punched.

4. The method of manufacturing the laminated iron core, according to claim 3 , the method further comprising:
an application step of applying an oil based agent on the overlapped plural steel sheets, wherein
in the pressing step, the plural steel sheets that have been applied with the oil based agent are pressed in the sheet thickness direction.
