National policies and standards promote the upgrading of electrical steel products and develop in the direction of thin specifications. In 2024, China will again issue the revised version of the "Power transformer Energy Efficiency Limit Value and energy efficiency Grade" GB20052-2023 mandatory new energy efficiency standard, which puts forward new requirements for energy conservation and consumption reduction of transformers used in new energy generation terminals. In addition, the three-year action plan for the energy efficiency upgrade of transformers and motors in 2021-2023 has expired, and the implementation of the energy efficiency upgrade of energy-saving transformers and high-efficiency motors in the past three years will be summarized. At the same time, the state has implemented the mandatory standards such as "Household refrigerator power consumption limit value and energy efficiency grade" (GB12021), "Room air conditioner energy efficiency Limit value and energy efficiency grade" (GB21455), "motor energy efficiency limit value and energy efficiency grade" (GB18613), which have achieved good results in implementation. High requirements are put forward for the performance, grade and thickness of electrical steel, which is leading the development of electrical steel in the direction of thin specifications.

Fast self-bonding coated electrical steel core is an inevitable trend in the application of new energy vehicle drive motors and micromotors. Self-bonding coating and fast self-bonding coating process is a new process and new material, mainly used in the production of large generators, high-speed magnetic levitation motor core and new energy vehicle drive motor core. The self-bonding coating electrical steel used in the early days mainly uses the self-bonding coating developed by imported EB548 or Baosteel and other enterprises (domestic 548) for large generators and high-speed magnetic levitation motor core, using the mold bonding process, curing time of about 2 hours or longer. At present, the new energy vehicle drive motor core is imported or domestic fast self-adhesive coating electrical steel (such as imported EB549 or HD549i and 375 and domestic products), the process belongs to the in-die stamping after pressure, heating to achieve self-bonding, curing time can be reduced to 2 minutes or less, with high efficiency, good laminating coefficient, high strength, low noise advantages. More suitable for high speed, high frequency motor motor. In recent years, driven by the demand for high frequency, high speed and high strength of new energy vehicle drive motors, accelerating the development or improving the quality or technology of domestic fast self-bonding coatings has become the focus. It is expected that in the future, 0.30mm, 0.27mm, 0.25mm, 0.20mm, 0.15mm or thinner specifications of fast self-adhesive coating electrical steel core will become an important trend in the development of new energy vehicle drive motor and micromotor core market.

Accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing has become a top priority for enterprises. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments jointly issued the "Guidance on Accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industry" proposed that: "By 2027, the development level of high-end, intelligent, green and integrated traditional manufacturing industry has been significantly improved, effectively supporting the proportion of manufacturing industry to remain basically stable, and the position and competitiveness in the global industrial division of labor has been further consolidated and strengthened." It has put forward higher requirements for the manufacturing industry, and the electrical steel industry is no exception. It is expected that during the "fifteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the electrical steel industry will usher in high-quality development: that is, a new era of high-end, green and intelligent development.

Control structural excess of products, and more importantly, prevent new potential excess of high-end products. 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the development of China's cold-rolled electrical steel, and China has become a major consumer and producer in the world and a production base serving the world. We should not only control the structural excess of products, but more importantly prevent the emergence of new potential excess of high-end products. We should make scientific judgments and fully consider the conditions of enterprises and their core competitiveness. Promote enterprise technological innovation, product transformation, product upgrading, technological transformation, participate in market competition, in the process of rapid growth of thin specification electrical steel, can not ignore technology, correctly view the opportunities and challenges brought by emerging market demand such as new energy vehicles, do not take the old road of "a nest peak" on the project.

Accelerate the research of electric furnace silicon steel smelting technology, waste silicon steel recycling and utilization technology. Under the background of "double carbon", China has put forward to vigorously develop circular economy, encourage and support scrap recycling, and promote the comprehensive utilization of scrap resources. China's electrical steel production capacity from 70,000 tons (non-oriented 42,000 tons, oriented 28,000 tons), the development of more than 15 million tons, production capacity increased by more than 200 times, the rapid growth of the industrial scale at the same time, but also brought about the production or processing, silicon steel scrap or corner surplus quantity increase. Accelerate the research of waste silicon steel electric furnace steelmaking technology, waste silicon steel recycling and utilization technology, not only reduce the accumulation of waste and environmental pollution, but also effectively achieve industrial value-added and product green environmental protection.

To reduce CO2 emissions as the core, optimize the process, to achieve high-end products. It is recommended to speed up the development of new energy vehicle drive motors, vehicle motors, flying car motors, hydrogen energy vehicle air compressor motors, high-end household electrical appliances motors, such as vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, Marine motors, robot servo motors, drones or aircraft motors with high grade, thin specifications electrical steel, especially the development and production of "jam neck" products, to solve their own safety problems. At the same time, to reduce CO2 emissions as the core, optimize the process technology: Such as near the end of the short process technology, low-carbon steelmaking process, low temperature slab heating HiB steel normalization technology, shorten the high temperature annealing time, the use of cold rolling process to produce thin specifications of high grade non-oriented and oriented electrical steel technology and rapid self-bonding technology, better for the downstream industry to provide high-end, low-carbon, green, environmentally friendly products.
