Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel for Electrical Transformers: High-Efficiency Core Solutions.
Ultra-Low Loss Grain-Oriented Steel (GOES) for Precision Transformers
Engineered with Goss texture {110}<001> alignment, our grain-oriented silicon steel minimizes core losses in power transformers, reactors, and high-frequency inductors. Grades like UI-50B achieve iron losses as low as 0.85 W/kg @1.7T/50Hz, enhancing energy efficiency by up to 99.5% in grid and industrial systems.
Key Advantages:
- Directional Magnetic Flux: B800 induction ≥1.85T (aligned to rolling direction)
- Thin Insulation Coating: C5/C6 coatings (3–6μm) with ≥20 Ω·cm² surface resistance
- Custom Lamination Shapes: UI, EI, and C-cores for rapid assembly
