  As the scorching summer heat persisted, Jiangyin Centersky   Electric Appliance Co., Ltd, manufacture of EI lamination, organized the “Summer Cooling Aid, Care for the Frontline” event on June 27 to distribute heatstroke prevention and cooling kits to frontline operators. This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to the “people-oriented” corporate philosophy and conveys its deep care for employees. In hot weather, during the production of EI lamination , frontline employees stick to their posts to ensure production, which is the cornerstone of the company’s development. Distributing heatstroke prevention gift packages is not only a way to thank everyone for their hard work, but also an important measure for the company to strengthen its safety production defense line. At 11 noon, Manager Zhu from the Human Resources Department, as a representative, personally handed over the company’s carefully prepared heatstroke prevention gift packag...

Silicon Steel Laminations: Essential Components for Efficient Electrical Systems

图片
  Silicon steel laminations , also known as electrical steel laminations, are thin, flat sheets of low-carbon steel alloyed with silicon—typically 0.5% to 4.5% by weight. This unique composition grants them exceptional magnetic properties, making them indispensable in the production of electrical equipment that relies on electromagnetic induction. The addition of silicon is critical: it increases the material’s electrical resistivity, which minimizes eddy current losses— a major source of energy waste in magnetic devices. Moreover, silicon enhances magnetic permeability, allowing the material to efficiently conduct magnetic flux, and reduces hysteresis losses, which occur when the magnetic field reverses direction. Manufacturing silicon steel laminations involves precise processes. The steel is first rolled into thin sheets (usually 0.15mm to 0.5mm thick) through cold rolling, which aligns the metal’s crystalline structure (a process called grain orientati...

Silicon Steel Sheet: The Unsung Hero of Electrical Engineering

图片
  Silicon steel sheet , also known as electrical steel, is a specialized low-carbon steel alloy infused with 1% to 5% silicon. Designed primarily for magnetic applications, it stands out as a cornerstone material in modern electrical engineering, thanks to its unique combination of high magnetic permeability, low core loss, and excellent magnetic induction—traits that make it ideal for guiding and amplifying magnetic fields with minimal energy waste. Broadly, silicon steel sheets fall into two main categories: grain-oriented (GO) and non-grain-oriented (NGO). Grain-oriented sheets have their crystal grains aligned in a single direction during manufacturing, maximizing magnetic permeability along that axis. This makes them perfect for static magnetic devices like power transformers, where magnetic fields flow in a fixed path. Non-grain-oriented sheets, by contrast, have randomly oriented grains, ensuring uniform magnetic performance in all directions—ideal for rotating...

The Lamination Sheet EI Series: Essential Core for High-Efficiency Electromagnetic Equipment

图片
  The lamination sheet EI series stands as a cornerstone component in modern electromagnetic devices, widely utilized in transformers, inductors, and electric motors. Named for its iconic “E” and “I” shaped steel sheets, this series is engineered to optimize magnetic performance while minimizing energy loss, making it indispensable in power electronics and electrical engineering. Structurally, the EI series consists of two complementary sheet types: the “E” sheet (with three prongs forming a rectangular frame) and the “I” sheet (a flat rectangular strip). When assembled, these sheets interlock to form a closed magnetic circuit— a design that reduces magnetic flux leakage significantly. This modular structure also simplifies production and maintenance: manufacturers can easily stack, align, and secure the sheets without complex machining, cutting down on assembly time and costs. Material-wise, most EI lamination sheets are crafted from silicon steel (also ...

EI Laminations: Essential Components in Electrical Engineering

图片
  EI laminations are core components in transformers, motors, and inductors, playing a pivotal role in optimizing electromagnetic efficiency. Named for their alternating “E” and “I” shaped steel sheets, these laminations minimize energy loss while enhancing magnetic flux performance, making them indispensable in modern electrical systems. Constructed primarily from silicon steel (electrical steel), EI laminations leverage the material’s high magnetic permeability and low core loss. Silicon alloying reduces eddy current losses—circulating currents induced by alternating magnetic fields—by increasing electrical resistance. The thin sheets (typically 0.3 to 0.5 mm thick) are coated with insulating layers (e.g., oxide films or varnishes) to further suppress eddy currents between adjacent laminations. Manufacturing involves precision stamping of E and I shapes from steel coils, followed by annealing to relieve stress and refine grain structure, which improves ...

Electrical Steel Laminations: Key Components in Efficient Electrical Equipment

图片
  Electrical steel laminations are thin sheets of specialized steel used in the cores of transformers, motors, generators, and other electromagnetic devices. Their primary purpose is to minimize energy losses during the conversion and transmission of electrical power, making them indispensable in modern electrical systems. These laminations are typically made from low-carbon steel alloyed with silicon, which enhances their magnetic properties. Silicon content, usually ranging from 1% to 5%, reduces the material’s electrical conductivity, thereby lowering eddy current losses— a major source of inefficiency in magnetic cores. Another critical feature is the laminations’ thinness, often between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm. This thin structure, combined with insulating coatings on each sheet, limits the flow of eddy currents to individual laminations, further minimizing energy dissipation. Additionally, many electrical steel laminations are grain-oriented, meaning their...

Silicon Steel Laminations: The Backbone of Electromagnetic Devices

图片
  Silicon steel laminations , also known as electrical steel laminations, are crucial components in a wide range of electrical and electronic devices. Made from silicon steel sheets, these laminations play a fundamental role in enhancing the performance of transformers, motors, generators, and other electromagnetic equipment. Silicon steel is a ferrosilicon soft magnetic alloy with an extremely low carbon content, typically around 0.08%, and a silicon content ranging from 0.5% to 4.5%. The addition of silicon to iron brings about several desirable properties. It significantly increases the resistivity of the material, which is essential for reducing eddy current losses. Eddy currents are induced currents that circulate within the core of an electromagnetic device, causing energy dissipation in the form of heat. By raising the resistivity, silicon steel laminations minimize these losses, leading to more efficient operation. Moreover, silicon addition boosts the maximum...
