What is silicon steel? What is the difference between unoriented silicon steel and oriented silicon steel?
Silicon steel is also called "electrical steel", is a very low carbon ferrosilicon soft magnetic alloy. The addition of silicon can not only increase the resistivity and maximum permeability of iron, on the other hand, it can also reduce the core loss (iron loss), coercivity, magnetic aging. It is generally used in the iron cores of various motors and transformers, and is an indispensable soft magnetic alloy in the power, electronics and military industries.
