Insimbi ye-silicon iqulethe i-1.0-4.5% ye-silicon kunye ne-silicon alloy steel enomxholo wekhabhoni ongaphantsi kwe-0.08% ibizwa ngokuba yi-silicon steel.
Uneempawu zokungena kwamagnetic aphezulu, ukunyanzeliswa okuphantsi, kunye nokuxhathisa okukhulu, ngoko ke ukulahleka kwe-hysteresis kunye nokulahleka kwangoku kwe-eddy kuncinci.
Isetyenziswa kakhulu njengezinto zombane kwiimotor, iziguquli, izixhobo zombane kunye nezixhobo zombane.
