Grain-oriented silicon steel is a specialized type of steel that has been processed to enhance its magnetic properties. It contains silicon, which improves its electrical efficiency and reduces energy losses when used in electrical applications. This material is primarily used in the cores of transformers and electric motors, where efficient magnetic performance is crucial. The manufacturing process involves controlling the grain structure of the steel, aligning it in a specific direction. This alignment allows the steel to conduct magnetic fields more effectively, making it ideal for high-performance electrical devices. Its use contributes to energy savings and improved functionality in various industrial applications.
