What is the difference between oriented and unoriented silicon steel sheets

Silicon steel is also called "electrical steel", is a very low carbon ferrosilicon soft magnetic alloy. The addition of silicon can not only increase the resistivity and maximum permeability of iron, on the other hand, it can also reduce the core loss (iron loss), coercivity, magnetic aging. It is generally used in the iron cores of various motors and transformers, and is an indispensable soft magnetic alloy in the power, electronics and military industries.

Purpose:

Oriented silicon steel sheet: the core of power transformers, pulse transformers and magnetic amplifiers

Non-oriented silicon steel sheet: the iron core of various motors, generators and transformers

Color:

Oriented silicon steel sheet: is off-white,

Non-oriented silicon steel sheet: is the color of general metal.
