Oriented Electrical Steel (CRGO) — Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel for Power Transformers

High magnetic induction & low core loss electrical steel designed for high-efficiency transformers, reactors, and energy systems.

Oriented Electrical Steel (CRGO)

Oriented Electrical Steel, also known as Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel or Cold Rolled Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel (CRGO), is a high-performance electrical steel specifically engineered for high-efficiency power transformers, reactors, and energy systems. Its precisely controlled grain orientation significantly reduces magnetic core loss and improves permeability, enabling stable and energy-efficient performance.

This material is widely recognized in the industry under various names including Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel, High Magnetic Induction Grain-Oriented Steel, and Low Core Loss Electrical Steel. Internationally, it is commonly abbreviated as GO or CRGO.

Key Advantages:
✔ Low core loss and high magnetic permeability
✔ Excellent grain orientation for transformer efficiency
✔ Stable performance under high voltage and high frequency
✔ Good insulation coating adhesion and surface quality

Typical Applications

Oriented Electrical Steel is an essential material for energy-critical electrical equipment. Typical application scenarios include:

Application Area Typical Usage
Power Transformers Core laminations for utility and distribution transformers
Reactors & Inductors High-efficiency magnetic cores
Power Grid Systems Transmission and distribution equipment
Renewable Energy Wind, solar, and energy storage transformer systems
Industrial Electrical Equipment High-efficiency electrical machinery and power devices

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Oriented Electrical Steel (CRGO)?

Oriented Electrical Steel, also known as CRGO (Cold Rolled Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel), is a silicon steel with a highly controlled grain structure. The grain orientation is optimized to achieve low core loss and high magnetic permeability, making it ideal for transformer and reactor cores.

What is the difference between CRGO and non-oriented electrical steel?

CRGO steel has a directional grain structure designed specifically for magnetic flux flow in one direction, which significantly reduces energy loss. Non-oriented electrical steel (NO) has random grain orientation and is typically used in rotating machines such as motors and generators. CRGO is mainly used for transformers, while NO steel is used for motors.

What thicknesses of Oriented Electrical Steel do you supply?

Standard thicknesses include 0.23 mm, 0.27 mm, 0.30 mm, and 0.35 mm. Other thicknesses may be available upon request depending on grade and quantity.

What standards does your Oriented Electrical Steel comply with?

Our Oriented Electrical Steel complies with major international standards including IEC and ASTM. All shipments are provided with Material Test Certificates (MTCs) to ensure traceability and quality assurance.

Can you provide slitting or lamination services?

Yes. We offer custom slitting, cutting, lamination, and packaging services according to customer requirements. This helps reduce processing time and cost at your facility.

Which industries commonly use CRGO electrical steel?

Oriented Electrical Steel is widely used in: power transformers, distribution transformers, reactors, power grid equipment, renewable energy systems (wind and solar), and industrial electrical equipment.

Do you offer equivalent grades from different steel mills?

Yes. We can supply and cross-reference grades from major global steel producers such as Baosteel, WISCO, JFE, POSCO, NSC, Cogent, AK Steel, and others. Grade equivalency support is available to help you match your existing specifications.
