Higher-strength low-loss Electrical Steels: enabling optimal designs of electric traction motors:
Dr. Lode Vandenbossche, Development Engineer for Electrical Steels, ArcelorMittal Global R&D
Dr. Ahmed Abdallh, Electromagnetic Research Engineer, ArcelorMittal Global R&D
As development engineers, Lode and Ahmed’s presentation will focus on the iCARe® Electrical Steels offer, explaining the specificities of the different grade families and insulating coatings, and demonstrating their added value for customers. The duo will share an in-depth case study on permanent magnet motor design, comparing the efficiency and compactness/performance depending on the Electrical Steels grade choice.
Speaker information:
Together with ArcelorMittal’s R&D and industrial development teams, Dr. Lode Vandenbossche translates the customer specifications for future applications into the development of improved generations of Electrical Steels grades. He holds a PhD in electromechanical engineering. As a research engineer at the ArcelorMittal’s R&D Ghent lab from 2010 till 2018, his focus was, and still is, on electrical steels from the application point of view.
