High-Silicon Electrical Steel Development Project
Sector: Electric Vehicles (EVs) • Location: South Korea
Source: IndexBox
A consortium led by Posco and Hyundai Motor Group is developing high-silicon electrical steel (6.5% silicon) for electric vehicle motors to reduce iron losses and improve efficiency. The project involves optimizing material properties and manufacturing processes for motor cores and drive units, with plans to test the technology on pre-production electric powertrains.
