Fives STEEL (Fives DMS, Fives STEIN, Fives CELES, Fives ST) – ELECTRICAL STEEL
Electrical steel, also known as silicon steel, is a special steel tailored to achieve specific magnetic properties. It is used for high-end applications, such as e-vehicle or windmill motors, energy generators or power transformers, but its high silicon content makes it extremely sensitive to manufacturing.
