Abstract

The technological development and indexes of advanced specification grain-oriented (GO) silicon steels are evaluated. The influences of inclusions and precipitates on the magnetic properties of GO silicon steels are summarized. The research progress on controlling inclusions and precipitates to improve the properties of GO silicon steels is reviewed based on the current manufacturing technology. The results indicate that impurity and inclusions can be efficiently reduced by selecting a suitable deoxidizer, optimizing the refining slag composition and smelting process. The precipitates are controlled by optimizing composition design of inhibitor-forming elements or grain boundary segregation elements, adjusting rolling and heat-treating operation conditions during the manufacturing process. The problems existing in the manufacture process of GO silicon steels are analyzed. The development trend of the GO silicon steels is pointed out to provide a reference for low-cost manufacturing of advanced GO silicon steels for manufacturing larger capacity, higher voltage, better energy-saving and emission reduction transformers.
