Electrical Steel Companies

Electrical steel, also known as silicon steel, is a type of steel that is specifically designed to produce electromagnetic properties such as low core loss and high magnetic permeability. It contains silicon up to 3.5% in weight, which helps to improve its electrical and magnetic properties. Electrical steel is mainly used in electrical equipment, such as transformers, generators, and motors, as well as in the automotive industry for electric motors and other components.
