Electrical steel is a specialized steel alloy engineered for superior magnetic performance, primarily used in transformers, motors, and generators. It is produced by adding silicon to steel and processing it through controlled rolling and annealing to achieve low core loss, high permeability, and improved energy efficiency. Available in grain-oriented and non-grain-oriented forms, it is typically manufactured as thin sheets or coils to minimize energy losses, making it essential for efficient power generation, transmission, and electrical equipment operation.
