What are the materials of silicon steel? What are their uses?

Answer:

In the motor industry, a large number of silicon steel sheets with thickness of 0.35 ~ 0.50mm are used, and 0.05~0.20mm thin strip steel is used in telecommunication high frequency technology, mainly to reduce eddy current loss more effectively. General hot rolled silicon steel sheet thickness of 0.35 ~ 0.50mm, mostly used in large, medium and small AC and DC motors. Cold rolled non oriented silicon steel sheet thickness of 0.35 ~ 0.50mm, mostly used in large AC generators, motors, large, medium and small AC and DC motors. Cold rolled single oriented silicon steel sheet thickness of 0.35mm, mostly used in power transformers, reactors, magnetic amplifier, etc.. Cold rolled single oriented thin strip thickness of 0.05 ~ 0.20mm, used in radio frequency transformers.
The sheet material rolled with silicon steel is the most widely used soft magnetic material in the field of electrical engineering. Therefore, silicon steel sheet is also called electrical steel sheet. Silicon steel sheets are widely used in motors, generators, transformers, chokes, electromagnetic devices, relays and measuring instruments.
Silicon steel is a kind of ferrosilicon alloy. Silicon steel material is: low carbon content, silicon content in 0.5%~4.5% iron silicon soft magnetic alloy. Silicon steel can be classified into hot rolled silicon strip (sheet), cold rolled non oriented silicon strip (strip), cold rolled oriented silicon steel strip (sheet), high magnetic induction cold rolled silicon steel strip (sheet).
