M6 grain oriented silicon steel is a type of electrical steel that is commonly used in the production of energy-efficient and high-performance electrical equipment. It exhibits excellent properties, including high magnetic permeability, low core loss, low electrical resistivity, and high saturation magnetization. The “M6” in M6 grain-oriented silicon steel refers to the magnetic induction level at which the core loss is measured. The “M” stands for “magnetic” and the “6” indicates that the core loss is measured at a magnetic induction level of 1.6 Tesla.
The manufacturing process of M6 grain oriented silicon steel is a complex and unique operation that requires advanced technology and expertise. The primary steps involve raw material selection, melting and casting, hot rolling, annealing, cold rolling, annealing, insulation coating, cutting, and stacking. This process is crucial for achieving the desired magnetic properties and performance of the final product.
