Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES)

Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES)

This steel is purchased in a “pickled” condition which allows Arnold to roll it to very thin gauges. Once it has been rolled and undergone further processing the material receives an insulating coating, which keeps eddy current losses to a minimum.

GNEE produces GOES in thicknesses of 0.001″ (0.025mm), 0.002″ (0.05mm), 0.004″ (0.10mm) and 0.006″ (0.15mm) and provides slit widths from 0.02″ (5.08mm) to 17.0″ (431.8mm), depending on gauge.

Our grain oriented silicon steel material meets IEC 60404-8-8.

GNEE GOES thin gauge strip can be shipped bare or with an inorganic coating, capable of surviving 920°C annealing temperature (C-5 IEEE class).
