thyssenkrupp targets motor and transformer markets with electrical-steel portfolio

According to thyssenkrupp Steel, NGO 020 and NGO 025 are designed for high-efficiency electric drives, combining low magnetization-reversal losses with high mechanical strength. The portfolio also includes stabosol® for bonded stator and rotor laminations. thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel will present grain-oriented electrical steel and services for transformer-core design and optimization. The company locates the relevant production and processing capabilities in Bochum.

• thyssenkrupp Steel attributes uniform mechanical and magnetic properties, high flatness and tight thickness tolerances to the presented materials.
• The company says the materials can reduce energy losses and improve efficiency.
• The event programme includes a talk on recent investments and technologies in the global non-grain-oriented electrical-steel market, but provides no investment amounts or project details.
• Another programme item references an improved precursor-material supply chain for grain-oriented electrical steel, without implementation details or timing.

Outlook: Watch for quantified investment plans, affected sites, capacity details and implementation schedules, as well as evidence supporting the stated performance benefits and further information on the precursor-material supply chain.
