I. The Core Dilemma of Modern Motor Design & Manufacturing
With the wide application of high-frequency motors and ultra-thin silicon steel sheets (0.1mm–0.2mm), engineering design and production procurement teams are trapped in a universal trade-off: performance improvement conflicts with yield and delivery efficiency.
1. R&D & Engineering Pain Points
- Insulation Damage & High Core Loss: Traditional clinching and laser welding destroy the surface insulation layer of silicon steel sheets, causing inter-lamination micro-short circuits and sharply increasing eddy current loss under high-frequency operation (above 400Hz).
- Residual Stress & Degraded Magnetic Performance: Mechanical stamping and high-temperature welding introduce internal residual stress in the core, resulting in reduced magnetic permeability and increased coercivity, which limits the upper limit of motor power density.
2. Procurement & Production Pain Points
- Complicated Processes & Long Lead Time: Traditional post-curing offline baking requires secondary fixture assembly and long-term high-temperature curing, occupying massive production space and equipment resources with lengthy cycles.
- Low Yield for Ultra-Thin Sheets: Ultra-thin silicon steel sheets (≤0.2mm) are prone to deformation, warpage and perforation during traditional clinching and welding, leading to high scrap rate and increased comprehensive production costs.
3. Process Flow Contrast
Traditional Process: Stamping → Fixture Assembly → Long-Term Offline Oven Curing → Disassembly & Cooling (Time-Consuming, Space-Consuming, Low Efficiency)
In-Die Self-Bonding Process: Integrated Stamping & In-Die Thermal Press Forming → Finished Product Out of Mold (50%+ Efficiency Improvement, One-Step Molding)
II. Engineering Advantages: Performance Breakthroughs for R&D Engineers
In-Die Self-Bonding technology abandons all destructive traditional connection methods, fully retaining the intrinsic electromagnetic and mechanical properties of silicon steel materials, and solving the core performance pain points of high-frequency high-power motors.
1. Eliminate Micro-Short Circuits & Reduce High-Frequency Core Loss
By precisely controlling temperature and pressure inside the mold, the Backlack self-bonding coating is evenly and fully activated. The lamination stacks achieve 100% full-interface bonding with intact insulation layer, fundamentally eliminating inter-lamination micro-short circuits and effectively suppressing high-frequency eddy current loss, adapting to 400Hz+ high-speed motor operating scenarios.
2. Zero Residual Stress to Maximize Magnetic Performance
No mechanical clinching extrusion or laser thermal impact zone is generated during the whole process. The internal residual stress of the iron core is close to zero, which completely preserves the original high magnetic permeability and low loss characteristics of ultra-thin silicon steel sheets, unlocking the ultimate power density of the motor.
3. Integrated Rigid Structure for Excellent NVH Performance
The surface bonding shear strength reaches ≥12 MPa. The overall iron core forms a highly homogeneous integrated rigid structure, which significantly increases the natural frequency of the stator stack, effectively suppresses electromagnetic vibration and high-frequency noise during high-speed operation, and greatly optimizes motor NVH performance.
4. Perfect Compatibility with 0.1mm–0.2mm Ultra-Thin Silicon Steel
The in-die integrated molding process has ultra-high adaptability to ultra-thin sheets, completely solving the industry problems of easy deformation in clinching and easy perforation in laser welding for 0.1mm/0.15mm/0.2mm thin silicon steel laminations, supporting the miniaturization and high-power iteration of new energy motors.
III. Manufacturing & Cost Benefits: Full-Lifecycle Value for Procurement
While upgrading electrical performance, In-Die Self-Bonding technology comprehensively optimizes production processes, yield rate and delivery cycle, bringing tangible cost reduction and efficiency improvement benefits for procurement and production management.
