silicon steel
Silicon steel, often referred to as electrical steel, is a specialized type of steel made by adding silicon to the alloy, which enhances its magnetic properties and electrical conductivity. The main functions of silicon steel include reducing energy loss in transformers and electric motors, improving efficiency, and minimizing operational costs. Technologically advanced features such as its refined grain structure and lower magnetic hysteresis make it ideal for applications requiring frequent magnetic reversals. Common applications include the cores of electrical transformers, rotating parts of generators, and stators and rotors of electric motors. With its unique combination of properties, silicon steel is essential in the manufacturing of various electrical and electronic equipment.
