Silicon steel is relatively inexpensive and easy to form. In addition, silicon steel is a metal with low resistivity. Low-core resistivity means silicon steel readily conducts electrical current.

When silicon is alloyed with iron and carbon at a concentration of between 3% and 6% by weight of finished metal, it increases the resistivity of the resulting steel.

Electrical steel is a flat-rolled silicon alloy—the silicon is added to steel to include increased resistivity, high permeability, and low hysteresis loss. It is also referred to as silicon ...

The specifications make it mandatory for the manufacturers to import core material (silicon steel) from western Europe, North America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
