Abstract

A laminated core 10 includes electrical steel sheets 1 and adhesive insulating coatings 2 alternately stacked and has a lamination direction D tensile strength of adhesive bond of 20 MPa or more measured under a 25° C. condition after a complete reaction of each adhesive insulating coating 2 . A method for manufacturing a laminated core 10 includes a punching step of punching an electrical steel sheet coated with an adhesive insulating coating 2 to form an electrical steel sheet 1 , an accommodating step of stacking and accommodating electrical steel sheets 1 in a die after the punching step, a low-pressure bonding step of heating the electrical steel sheets 1 in the die at a surface temperature of 60° C. or more and 200° C. or less and bonding the adjacent electrical steel sheets 1 by pressurization at 3.0 MPa or less to form a laminated core 10 , and a take-out step of taking out the laminated core 10 from the die after the low-pressure bonding step.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A laminated core comprising electrical steel sheets and adhesive insulating coatings that are alternately stacked,
the laminated core having a tensile strength of adhesive bond in a lamination direction of 20 MPa or more, the tensile strength of adhesive bond measured under a condition of 25° C. after a complete reaction of each of the adhesive insulating coatings.

2 . The laminated core according to claim 1 , wherein
an uppermost layer in the electrical steel sheets has a protrusion protruding in the lamination direction.

3 . A method for manufacturing a laminated core according to claim 1 formed by stacking a plurality of electrical steel sheets, the method comprising:
a punching step of punching an electrical steel sheet coated with an adhesive insulating coating to form each of the plurality of electrical steel sheets;
an accommodating step of stacking and accommodating the plurality of electrical steel sheets in a die after the punching step;
a low-pressure bonding step of heating the plurality of electrical steel sheets in the die to a surface temperature of 60° C. or more and 200° C. or less while the plurality of electrical steel sheets in the die are pressurized at 3.0 MPa or less and bonding the plurality of electrical steel sheets adjacent to each other to form a laminated core; and
a take-out step of taking out the laminated core from the die after the low-pressure bonding step.

4 . The method for manufacturing a laminated core according to claim 3 , wherein
the low-pressure bonding step includes a bonding promotion step of heating the plurality of electrical steel sheets to a temperature of 100° C. or more and 160° C. or less at a temperature rising rate of 0.5° C./s or more and 5.0° C./s or less and holding the temperature for a holding time of 20 seconds or more and 120 seconds or less.

5 . The method for manufacturing a laminated core according to claim 3 , comprising a reheating step of heating the laminated core to 160° C. or more and 250° C. or less after the take-out step.

6 . The method for manufacturing a laminated core according to claim 4 , comprising a reheating step of heating the laminated core to 160° C. or more and 250° C. or less after the take-out step.

7 . The method for manufacturing a laminated core according to claim 3 , wherein
in the low-pressure bonding step, the plurality of electrical steel sheets in the die are pressurized at 0.1 MPa or more.

8 . The method for manufacturing a laminated core according to claim 4 , wherein
in the low-pressure bonding step, the plurality of electrical steel sheets in the die are pressurized at 0.1 MPa or more.
