Hot-rolled silicon steel sheet
Customized one-stop solution for transformers

It complies with standards like GB/T 5212 and IEC 60404, and features relatively simple production process and low cost.
Product Introduction
Hot-rolled silicon steel sheet is a type of electrical steel produced by hot rolling process, with a silicon content usually ranging from 0.5% to 4.5%. The addition of silicon can improve the magnetic properties of the material. It is suitable for manufacturing iron cores of electromagnetic equipment with low-frequency and low-performance requirements, such as small motors, transformers, inductors, etc. It complies with standards like GB/T 5212 and IEC 60404, and features relatively simple production process and low cost.
Product Features
It has lower permeability and higher core loss than cold-rolled silicon steel sheets but meets basic needs at 50Hz-60Hz. With coarser grains, irregular crystal orientation, and uneven magnetic properties, it features lower costs due to simpler production and higher material utilization. Though plastic enough for shearing/stamping, its poorer surface quality reduces processing accuracy versus cold-rolled products. Limited by magnetic performance, it’s unsuitable for high-frequency/high-performance equipment like large transformers and precision motors.
Product Classification
- By silicon content:Low-silicon steel sheet (silicon content 0.5%-1.0%, low magnetic permeability, high core loss, suitable for occasions with low performance requirements); medium-silicon steel sheet (silicon content 1.0%-3.0%, moderate magnetic performance, with a wide range of applications); high-silicon steel sheet (silicon content 3.0%-4.5%, improved magnetic permeability, relatively reduced core loss, suitable for equipment with certain requirements on magnetic performance).
- By thickness:Thick gauge (0.5mm-1.0mm, good rigidity, suitable for large simple core structures); thin gauge (0.35mm-0.5mm, slightly better flexibility, can be used in small motors and other equipment).
- By surface state:Uncoated hot-rolled silicon steel sheet (no special treatment on the surface, needs rust prevention treatment before use); painted hot-rolled silicon steel sheet (surface coated with insulating paint, which can enhance insulation performance and rust resistance).
