Advanced electrical steels for the next era of sustainable electrification

Carbon emissions reduction begins with making smarter choices, such as choosing our electrical steels. They are engineered for high energy efficiency and reliability, playing a critical role in reducing energy losses in electric vehicles (EVs), industrial motors and power generators.

Why electrical steels are critical for sustainability

Why electrical steels are critical for sustainability

Electrical steels are essential to improving the energy efficiency of motors, generators and transformers. By reducing energy losses, advanced grades lower lifetime energy consumption and associated CO₂ emissions, supporting electrification across power grids, electric vehicles and industry.

Lower energy losses

Engineered with high magnetic permeability, low hysteresis loss and thin laminations, our electrical steels minimise energy waste and maximise efficiency.

Higher efficiency, compact design

Superior magnetic performance enables equal or greater power output with less material, helping create smaller, more efficient machines.

Long service life

Stable magnetic and mechanical properties ensure reliability and extend the lifespan of motors, generators and transformers.

Electrical steels support energy transition

Demand for ever more efficient electric machines to help reduce CO2 emissions is driving change in mobility, industrial and energy systems across the world. Electrical steels are a foundational part of supporting this electrification transition.

Our electrical steels support:

Electrification of transport systems

Expansion of renewable energy generation

Increased efficiency in industrial motors and drives

Reliable power generation for data centres and infrastructure

Our electrical steels will help you translate electrification into real-world energy savings, by focusing on efficiency where it matters most - inside your machines.

XCarb® and low carbon-emissions steel

As well as helping you improve your in-use efficiency, we can help you reduce the embedded carbon footprint of your products. This is done by bringing together our reduced, low and zero-carbon products and steelmaking activities.

Supporting scope 3 reduction goals

Our XCarb® certificates allow for the offsetting of your order’s carbon footprint, supporting reduced upstream emissions, Scope 3 CO₂ reduction strategies and sustainability reporting.
