A silicon steel sheet, also known as electrical steel or transformer steel, is a type of steel specifically designed for use in electrical applications. It is made by adding silicon to steel, typically in concentrations of 3% to 4.5%, which enhances its magnetic properties. This material is widely used in the manufacturing of electrical transformers, motors, generators, and other electromagnetic devices due to its ability to efficiently conduct magnetic flux and reduce energy losses through hysteresis and eddy currents.
