M6 lamination: what is it?

[jarthel]

I found the word in eletra-print's catalog.

I've search here and the net for some reference info on M6 lamination. Unfortunately, I didn't any helpful results.

an explanation or a URL would be most helpful.

thank you.

M6 is a grain oriented silicon steel.

The anneal is also very important, as it affects the permability as well as the BH curve linearity and power handling. Longitudal anneal is used in output transformers, while random or no anneal is often used in power transformers, because it's cheaper.

M4 is sometimes used for high-end stuff, because of the better magnetic properties, leading to a more efficient and smaller transformer. Rarely used, because it's about double the cost of M6. A well designed M6 transformer makes the M4 advantage almost moot, too.

Sorry, I don't appear to have a decent link

but your explanation more than made up for the lack of link.

thank you very much
