Grain Oriented Silicon Steels
More Efficiency and Energy Saving
GO Silicon Steels have been developed to achieve low core losses and high magnetic permeability, required
for higher equipment performance with increased energy saving.
Primary applications: production of transformer cores, power reactors, hydro and turbogenerators.
Primary characteristics: the main characteristic of this product is that its magnetic properties are vastly superior
in the rolling direction.
Guaranteed Characteristics
The core loss values represented in the chart refer to the fully processed product, tested after stress relief
annealing, in samples which were cut longitudinally to the rolling direction.
The customer shall specify only one condition for both induction and frequency in order to guarantee the
maximum core loss value. Unless otherwise specified, the maximum core loss will be supplied at 1.5 T and 60
Hz. This steel is supplied with ASTM C-5 coating.

Coating
Electrical steels are usually coated to minimize the occurrence of eddy currents in the core of electrical
machines and to reduce energy consumption.
Coating
Characteristics / Applications of Acesita Coatings
Acesita ASTM
An inorganic insulation that consists in a thin layer of natural oxides formed during the final annealing
C-0 C-0 process. This oxide layer provides an electric insulation that is appropriate for most small cores.
This coating withstands stress relief annealing.
Organic varnish coating applied to the steel surface. This coating has an excellent electrical
C-S C-3 resistance and improves the material punchability. The coating normally is suitable for operating
temperatures up to about 180ºC, however, it does not withstand stress relief annealing.
Coating formed by phosphating the steel surface. This type of coating is used in applications
C-4 C-4 requiring moderate levels of insulation resistance. This coating withstands stress relief
annealing.
Mostly inorganic coating that is applied to the surface. This coating typically is formed by an organic
C-6 C-5 resin added to an inorganic base. It is used for applications requiring high surface resistance and
good punchability. The coating withstands burn-off treatments and stress relief annealing.
Organic-based coating to which inorganic fillers have been added to increase the insulating resistance.
C-3 C-6
The coating withstands burn-off treatments, but does not withstand stress relief annealing.
The composition of the coating determines most of its properties. The organic composition emphasizes resistivity and drawability, and
the inorganic composition emphasizes thermal resistance and weldability .
