The value of silicon-doped iron is due to its improved electromagnetic characteristics: a high level of saturation induction, minimization of hysteresis losses, and also reduced coercive force. Since the anisotropic structure makes it possible to improve these properties even more, the demand for non-textured ones was initially higher.
The question, for what purposes are electrotechnical steels used, is answered in the name of the metal. One of the purposes of the alloy is cores in such devices:
• current transformers;(//tractor-service.com)
• stators and rotors of electrical equipment;
• power transformers.
In addition, electrotechnical steel is an excellent material for magnetic wires in electrical devices. It is easy to understand why the transformer core is made of electrical steel. This follows from the properties of the metal, in particular, the increase in specific electrical resistance. This, in turn, leads to a reduction in power losses from eddy currents characteristic of the transformer core. As a result, the overall efficiency of the device increases, and the core heats up less.
