Abstract Scope |
Supply chain issues have proven to be a global problem in recent years and the soft magnetic material market has been effected. In addition, new trends in efficiency regulations along with growing demands for electric motor laminations have further strained the existing capacity causing further supply and delivery issues. Steel production capacity is currently being added domestically and globally. However, it is being predicted that the demand for electrical vehicles will outpace this additional capacity. Furthermore, efficiency requirements in both grain oriented and non-oriented electrical steel applications require higher levels of processing which tend to reduce the production capacity. Here we will discuss the interactions between demand for grain oriented electrical steel, non-oriented electrical steel and amorphous foils. |
