Polarization-dependent fractional loss improvement of laser scribed GO FeSi steels

Magnetization curves of untreated and laser scribed GO FeSi steels were measured for 19 different frequencies from 0.05 to 500 Hz and for four polarizations from 1.4 to 1.7 T. From hysteresis loops, hysteresis losses were separated and frequency-dependent anomaly factors were calculated. Frequency-dependent anomaly factors for all measured polarizations can be very well described by an empirical equation. This behavior can be explained by the fact that an increase in polarization at a fixed magnetizing frequency corresponds to an increase of magnetizing frequency at a fixed polarization. Both an increase in frequency and an increase in polarization activate a higher number of domain walls in the magnetization process. The power losses can be described only by the frequency dependence of the anomaly factor and by the additional knowledge of hysteresis loss
