Low-Cost Grain Oriented Silicon Steels Manufactured by Continuous Annealing

Low-cost grain oriented silicon steel produced by continuous annealing, low slab-heating temperature, and omitting normalization annealing is explored and analyzed. This type of grain oriented steel is designed to replace the non-oriented steels used for the production of transformers of medium and small sizes as specified in all GO steel producers catalogs. Fully secondarily recrystallized structure with magnetic properties of P1.7 = 2.04 W...
