What is grain oriented steel used for?

Traditional Non Grain-Oriented (NGO) silicon steel is difficult to satisfy these requirements because of limited saturation flux density and magnetic permeability.

This paper mainly presents that a novel thin-anisotropic Grain-Oriented (GO) silicon steel is used in high-speed (up to 14500rpm) traction motors after deeply analysing magnetic saturation, power loss, thermal conductivity and mechanical property of a traction motor with high-frequency (50Hz-400Hz) and high-torque running status. It applies a combination design between NGO and GO steel in order to avoid the low magnetic permeability in the transverse direction.
