The ability of silicon steel to resist magnetization or demagnetization is known as its coercivity. It quantifies the magnetic field strength necessary to fully magnetize or demagnetize the material. With its high coercivity, silicon steel demands a substantial magnetic field strength to alter its magnetic state. This characteristic renders silicon steel ideal for applications that necessitate a stable and robust magnetic field, like transformers, electric motors, and other electromagnetic devices.
The coercivity of silicon steel refers to its ability to resist magnetization or demagnetization. It is a measure of the magnetic field strength required to completely magnetize or demagnetize the material. Silicon steel has a high coercivity, meaning that a significant amount of magnetic field strength is needed to change its magnetic state. This property makes silicon steel suitable for applications where a stable and strong magnetic field is required, such as in transformers, electric motors, and other electromagnetic devices.
The coercivity of silicon steel is typically around 0.5 to 1.5 Oe (Oersteds).
