What is the difference between non-oriented silicon steel and oriented silicon steel?
Silicon steel, also known as "electrical steel", is a ferrosilicon soft magnetic alloy with very low carbon content. The addition of silicon can not only increase the resistivity and maximum permeability of iron, but also reduce core loss (iron loss), coercivity, and magnetic aging. It is generally used in the iron core of various motors and transformers, and is an indispensable and important soft magnetic alloy in the electric power, electronics and military industries.
