Abstract

Electrical steels play a crucial role in modern electrical devices and power systems due to their exceptional magnetic properties. This comprehensive review delves into the advancements in the field of electrical steels, focusing on key aspects such as microstructure, loss analysis, magnetic properties, alloying elements, and the influence of coatings. The microstructural characteristics of electrical steels are explored in relation to their impact on magnetic behaviour and overall performance. Loss analysis techniques are discussed, highlighting the importance of minimizing energy dissipation in applications. The intricate relationship between magnetic properties and material composition, including the role of alloying elements, is examined to elucidate the mechanisms governing magnetic behaviour. Furthermore, the influence of coatings on the performance of electrical steels is investigated, considering both protection against environmental factors and their impact on magnetic properties. Through a comprehensive synthesis of recent research, this review provides valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of electrical steels and sets the stage for further advancements in their design and application.
