Surface Insulation
JFE Steel offers the following types of coatings for surface insulation.The customers can select one that best meets their requirements for interlamination resistance, punchability, heat resistance, Freon resistance and other properties.

A, N Coating
As to A, N coating, an organic resin is added to inorganic coating.
It has excellent punchability, corrosion resistivity and Freon resistance, with exceedingly high interlamination resistance shown in the case of the higher grades. Suited to large rotors, especially to motors for electric household appliances where good punchability is required.
A and N Coating has no equivalent in the AISI standards.

D Coating
This phosphate-based inorganic coating has been extensively used since its development in 1959, as it has such excellent characteristics as interlamination resistance, adhesion, heat resistance, lamination factor required for coating.
The interlamination resistance becomes better as the grade becomes higher.D-coating is equivalent to AISI Core Plate C4.

J Coating
An organic resin is also partially added to inorganic coating.
In comparison with A,N coating, it has excellent heat-resistancy due to the improvement of an organic resin itself.
J coating has no equivalent in the AISI standards.

Unless otherwise specified, A Coating will be applied and at the end of grade designation, type of surface insulation is indicated. Ex : 50JN600*A means 50JN600 appiled with A coating.
