Silicon steel ndi chitsulo chapadera chamagetsi, chomwe chimatchedwanso silicon steel sheet. Zimapangidwa ndi silicon ndi chitsulo, zomwe zili ndi silicon nthawi zambiri zimakhala pakati pa 2% ndi 4.5%. Chitsulo cha silicon chimakhala ndi mphamvu yotsika ya maginito ndi resistivity, komanso resistivity mkulu ndi maginito saturation induction. Izi zimapangitsa chitsulo cha silicon kukhala chofunikira pazida zamagetsi monga ma mota, ma jenereta ndi ma transfoma.
Makhalidwe akuluakulu a chitsulo cha silicon ndi otsika maginito permeability ndi high resistivity magetsi, zomwe zimathandiza kuchepetsa kutayika kwa eddy panopa ndi kutayika kwa Joule pakatikati pachitsulo. Chitsulo cha silicon chimakhalanso ndi kulowetsedwa kwamphamvu kwa maginito, ndikupangitsa kuti chitha kupirira kulimba kwamphamvu kwa maginito popanda maginito maginito.
Kugwiritsa ntchito chitsulo cha silicon kumakhazikika kwambiri pazida zamagetsi. Mugalimoto, chitsulo cha silicon chimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga chitsulo chapakati cha injini kuti achepetse kutayika kwa eddy pano komanso kutayika kwa Joule ndikuwongolera mphamvu ya injini. Mu ma jenereta ndi ma thiransifoma, chitsulo cha silicon chimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga zitsulo zachitsulo kuti ziwonjezere kulowetsedwa kwa maginito ndikuchepetsa kutaya mphamvu.
Nthawi zambiri, chitsulo cha silicon ndichinthu chofunikira kwambiri chamagetsi chokhala ndi maginito abwino kwambiri komanso mawonekedwe okana. Amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri pazida zamagetsi kuti apititse patsogolo magwiridwe antchito komanso magwiridwe antchito a zida
