About Electrical Steel Sheet:
Electrical steel sheet products, which contain additives such as silicon and aluminum, offer excellent magnetic properties including high magnetic flux density and low iron loss. Grain-oriented electrical steel sheet exhibits superb magnetic properties in a single (rolling) direction, making it ideal for the iron cores of power transformers, etc. Non-oriented electrical steel sheet, which exhibits excellent magnetic properties that are largely uniform in all directions, has applications such as the iron cores of motors.
