Is silicon steel magnetically hard?
Nov 25, 2023
If you want to know whether silicon steel magnetically hard, you first need to know the difference between hard magnetic materials and soft magnetic materials.
Hard magnetic materials, also called permanent magnetic materials, are materials that can maintain constant magnetism once magnetized.
Commonly used permanent magnet materials include alnico permanent magnet alloys, iron-chromium-cobalt permanent magnet alloys, permanent ferrite magnets, rare earth permanent magnet materials and composite permanent magnet materials.
Soft magnetic materials are magnetic materials with low coercivity and high magnetic permeability, which are easy to magnetize and demagnetize.
Its main function is magnetic conduction, conversion and transmission of electromagnetic energy, and it is widely used in various power conversion equipment. It mainly includes metal soft magnetic materials, ferrite soft magnetic materials and other soft magnetic materials.
Silicon steel is easy to magnetize and is known for its high magnetic permeability and low core loss. It is the most widely used soft magnetic material.
