What is 0.47mm M36 Stator Silicon Steel Lamination?
M36 is ASTM A684 non-oriented silicon steel, widely used for small and medium motor stators in North America. 0.47mm is its standard gauge, offering an optimal balance between core loss performance and manufacturing cost for general-purpose motor applications.
At GNEE, we can supply M36 silicon steel in various forms:
- Raw coil - full-width or slit-to-width M36 silicon steel coil for in-house stamping
- Loose stamped laminations - precision-stamped individual stator laminations ready for your stacking process
- Stacked & welded stator cores - fully assembled stator cores with welding or interlocking, ready for winding

2026 M36 Silicon Steel Raw Coil Price Trend (USD/kg)
First Half of 2026: Relative Stability
Raw material prices stayed relatively stable in H1 2026, with M36 raw coil hovering between $2.30–$2.90/kg. Ample supply of conventional non-oriented silicon steel limited big price hikes, providing a favorable window for bulk purchasing and long-term contract negotiation. Q1 saw the lowest price point of the year at $2.30/kg, while Q2 showed mild recovery as motor demand picked up.
Second Half of 2026: Narrow Band Volatility
The market remains volatile within a narrow band in H2 2026, with Q3 peaking at $3.10/kg high-end before easing back in Q4. Raw cost is mainly affected by:
- Ferrosilicon price - key alloy element directly impacting silicon steel production cost
- Steel billet cost - base material cost fluctuation driven by iron ore and energy prices
- Overseas motor demand - North American and European motor manufacturing activity
- Export order volume - global demand for electrical steel products
Market Outlook: Structural Differentiation
There is obvious structural differentiation in the silicon steel market. High-grade silicon steel for new energy motors holds stronger price support, while medium grades such as M36 fluctuate mildly within a $2.30–$3.10/kg band. Sudden price spikes may appear if raw ore or energy cost rises sharply. Overall, the full-year 2026 M36 average mid-price is projected around $2.68/kg, consistent with a range-bound market.

What Determines the Price of 0.47mm and 0.35mm ASTM A684 M36 Silicon Steel Lamination for Motor Stator?
The final quotation for your 0.47mm M36 stator lamination or 0.35mm M36 silicon steel stator is determined by several key factors. Understanding these cost drivers will help you optimize your procurement strategy and get the best value for your investment.
| Item | Options | Cost Note |
|---|---|---|
| Insulation Coating | C5 / C6 | C6 coating has higher insulation performance and higher cost |
| Processing Type | Stamping only / Stack & weld core | Stacked finished core has extra fabrication cost |
| Order Size | Sample / Small batch / Bulk long-term order | Unit price reduces with larger quantity |
| Delivery Term | FOB China / CIF USA port / DDP | Ocean freight and customs cost vary by term |
| Material Thickness | 0.47mm / 0.35mm | 0.35mm M36 lamination has higher unit price than 0.47mm grade |
| Slot Design Complexity | Simple / Standard / Complex | Complex slot geometry may require specialized tooling |
💡 Price Reference Note: The price range USD 2.3–4.8/kg above is based on FOB China, bulk order of simple shape loose laminations with C5 coating. Complex slot design, C6 coating or stacked core products will exceed this range. All final prices are subject to formal quotation.

FAQ
Is 0.47mm the only available thickness for M36 silicon steel?
0.47mm is the standard thickness for M36 grade. 0.35mm M36 stator lamination is also available on request, and its unit price is higher than 0.47mm grade due to tighter rolling tolerance and lower production yield. If you need lower core loss for high-efficiency motor designs, 0.35mm may be the better choice.
Is M36 equal to 50W470 silicon steel?
M36 follows ASTM A684 standard. Its magnetic property is comparable to 50W470, but test standards and inspection rules are different. M36 is the preferred grade for North American motor designs that specify ASTM standards, while 50W470 follows Chinese GB/T 2521 standard. We can supply both grades depending on your specification requirements.
Will M36 silicon steel raw material price keep rising in 2026?
M36 raw coil price fluctuates in a narrow range in 2026. It is not expected to have a sustained big uptrend. Cost changes of ferrosilicon and base steel are the main drivers. We will update the quotation according to the latest raw material market when you place the order. For long-term contracts, we can offer price protection clauses to give you cost certainty.
