Modelling the angular dependence of magnetic properties of a fully processed non-oriented electrical steel

Two different ways to approach the anisotropy of magnetic losses are compared, one of them based on texture and particles distribution and the other on a graphical subdivision of the hysteresis loss in two components. We have found an excellent quantitative correlation between the anisotropy of the particles and low-induction components, and a good qualitative correlation between the anisotropy of texture and the high-induction components.
