Silicon Steel

Description

Silicon electrical steel, also known as electrical steel, lamination steel, relay steel, or transformer steel, is specialized steel with added silicon to enhance its electrical conductivity and improve its magnetic characteristics while minimizing energy loss due to hysteresis. This steel is ideal for various applications in electrical engineering where electromagnetic fields play a crucial role, such as transformers, magnetic coils, and electrical motors.

Cold-rolled electrical steel can be divided into two primary types: grain-oriented electrical steel and non-oriented electrical steel. Grain-oriented electrical steel, with its easy magnetization direction parallel to the rolling direction, exhibits exceptional magnetic characteristics in this orientation, including low core loss, high permeability, and low magnetostriction. It is widely used in the transformer industry, and further improvements in core loss can be achieved through domain refinement treatment. Meanwhile, non-oriented electrical steel, characterized by a non-uniform grain distribution and magnetic isotropy, finds wide-ranging applications in the motor industry.

Applications

Silicon steel can also be widely used in the industrial field, the main applications include:

1. the manufacture of steam pipes and gas pipelines
2. the manufacture of power equipment, the manufacture of chemical and petrochemical industries
3. the manufacture of rail locomotives
4. the manufacture of aircraft, the manufacture of wind power generation equipment
5. the construction of nuclear power plants
6. the manufacture of equipment for the transportation and logistics industry
7. the construction of cement kilns
8. the production of steel mills
9. automobile manufacturing
10. the procurement of materials for the construction industry
11. the manufacture of metal processing furniture, and the manufacture of other types of equipment.
