ENGINEERING SELECTION / MATERIAL APPROVAL

How to Specify 23Q110 for Your Transformer Project

Choose grain-oriented steel by certified magnetic performance and the geometry of the transformer core—not by grade name alone.

01 / GRADE

Verify the producer grade

Request the supplying mill datasheet and confirm whether the quote is for a 23Q110 designation or a verified B23G110 correspondence. Check the current contractual standard.

02 / LOSS

Set P1.7/50 acceptance

State ≤1.10 W/kg only when adopted as the contractual loss target, with defined measurement, sampling and delivery state.

03 / INDUCTION

Specify B800

Request the guaranteed B800 level and actual test result. Different producer documents and standard editions can publish different induction figures.

04 / DIRECTION

Align the core-cutting layout

Supply transformer limb and yoke drawings, strip widths, miter angles and the intended rolling direction of each component.

05 / COATING

Approve insulation and handling

Specify coating class, surface resistance, adhesion, stack-factor target and any permitted stress-relief treatment.

06 / RELEASE

Approve certificates and trial material

Link material identification to coil numbers, magnetic testing, finished slit width, edge burr and trial-core requirements.

Ready to compare transformer-core materials?

Send your 23Q110 specification, loss/induction limits, drawing and annual volume in one RFQ.

SURFACE / COATING / LAMINATION FACTOR

Electrical Insulation Coating for Transformer Laminations

The insulating surface, adhesion, stacking factor and compatibility with cutting or core assembly affect transformer performance and production yield.

Replace this image with a genuine close-up of the actual GO steel coating, preferably showing surface texture and roll identity.

COATING PERFORMANCE / LAMINATION DESIGN

Control the insulating surface and stacking behavior.

Grain-oriented electrical steel is supplied with a mill-approved surface insulation system that helps limit interlaminar currents. Coating construction and surface resistance must match the transformer assembly method and processing conditions.

  • State the coating type and whether a tension-coating system is specified.
  • Require surface-insulation resistance and adhesion measurements under the agreed method.
  • Agree acceptable surface appearance, scratches, coating continuity and coil handling.
  • Confirm stacking factor and coating thickness for the finished core build.
  • Discuss heat treatment only against the supplying mill’s written processing guidance.
Coating resistance and adhesion are tested using the agreed standard and method. GB/T 2522-2017 is being superseded by GB/T 2522-2026 effective 1 November 2026; specify the method edition in the contract.
WIDTH / DIRECTION / MITRE CUTTING

23Q110 Strip Geometry & Rolling-Direction Control

For transformer cores, strip width and rolling-direction consistency are as important as thickness and magnetic certificate values.

Narrow slit grain oriented electrical steel strip coils with rolling direction marking

Slit-strip width and direction

Specify finished strip width, thickness tolerance, edge quality and rolling-direction marks needed for your core-piece layout.

Transformer core mitred laminations cut from grain oriented electrical steel

Core geometry and joint cuts

Include limb/yoke dimensions, 45° mitre or step-lap details and the permitted burr height with your stamping or shearing drawing.

Rolling direction first

Conventional GO electrical steel has strongly directional magnetic performance. Define the steel rolling direction in each core piece and in acceptance sampling.

Thickness and flatness

Verify steel gauge, coating-inclusive dimensions if relevant, residual curvature, edge wave and strip flatness against the cutting line.

Cut-edge integrity

Specify edge burr, slit cleanliness and handling damage limits; assess stress introduced by shearing in the transformer-core qualification.

Coil orientation and packaging

Confirm inner diameter, winding direction, strip orientation, telescoping limits and surface protection for the receiving equipment.

SLITTING / MITRE CUTS / PROCESS APPROVAL

From Grain-Oriented Coil to Transformer Core Blanks

Plan the processing route around directional grain structure and the coated surface. Each cut should preserve traceability to the original magnetic test lot.

01 / DRAWING

Confirm core design

Submit core-strip widths, cut lengths, limb/yoke drawing, joint geometry, rolling direction and annual transformer quantities.

02 / MILL ID

Match approved grade

Approve the exact 23Q110 or documented producer designation with the magnetic test limits and insulating coating.

03 / SLITTING

Prepare narrow coils

Quote slit widths, width tolerance, edge burr limits, winding tension and separate-coil labels.

04 / CORE CUTTING

Validate trial laminations

Run shearing or cut-to-length trials, inspect burr and direction marks, and evaluate the assembled core against its required losses.

Share your transformer-core lamination drawing.

Include strip orientation, slit widths, cut lengths, burr limits and target core losses for quotation.

ENGINEERING QUESTIONS / BUYER ANSWERS

23Q110 Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel Coil FAQ

Frequently requested specifications for conventional GO transformer-core strip, source-mill qualification and international coil procurement.

What does 23Q110 mean?

23 is the nominal 0.23 mm thickness, Q identifies the conventional grain-oriented grade designation in the referenced catalogues, and 110 denotes a P1.7/50 loss class of 1.10 W/kg. Confirm the supplying mill grade and guaranteed values on its technical specification and MTC.

Which standard applies to 23Q110 electrical steel?

GB/T 2521.2-2025 is the current Chinese specification for fully processed grain-oriented electrical steel strip. It replaced the 2016 edition on 1 March 2026. The contract should confirm whether the supplier uses the 23Q110 designation or a verified mill grade mapping.

Is 23Q110 the same as B23G110?

A Baosteel catalogue lists the conventional 0.23 mm B23G110 alongside 23Q110 as a comparison designation. Approval as an equivalent requires checking the actual producer datasheet, P1.7/50 and B800 limits, surface coating and test procedure.

What is the P1.7/50 value of 23Q110?

Published conventional 23Q110 product tables list a 1.10 W/kg maximum core-loss class at 1.7 T and 50 Hz. The purchase contract and the selected coil’s magnetic report establish the guaranteed and measured values.

What does B800 mean for grain-oriented electrical steel?

B800 is the magnetic induction at a magnetizing field strength of 800 A/m. Published product specifications vary by maker and edition; specify a contractual minimum and request the measured lot value.

How is grain-oriented steel different from 35W470 and 50W470?

Grain-oriented electrical steel is optimized for magnetic performance along the rolling direction and is commonly used for transformer cores. Non-oriented electrical steel is evaluated for rotating motor magnetic circuits with different magnetic test conditions.

Is 23Q110 suitable for transformer cores?

23Q110-class conventional GO steel is evaluated for transformer core laminations. Final approval depends on assembled-core loss requirements, induction, geometry, permitted processing, coating and service frequency.

What is the typical steel density used for calculations?

7.65 g/cm³ is a published theoretical density reference for conventional 0.23 mm GO steel. Use the approved source-mill density and net coil weight when calculating length or material yield.

Does 23Q110 include insulation coating?

Fully processed GO steel is supplied with a mill-specific insulating surface system. Specify coating chemistry, thickness or surface resistance, adhesion, handling and transformer-core assembly requirements.

Can 23Q110 be supplied as slit coils or mitre-cut laminations?

Slitting or cut-to-length work can be quoted when compatible with the actual source, stock width, insulation coating and required edge-burr tolerances. Include cutting orientation and your core drawings.

Which test method should I specify?

Confirm the product-standard requirements and whether GB/T 3655-2022 Epstein testing or an agreed alternative is applicable. Coating insulation and adhesion testing should use the contracted edition of GB/T 2522.

How should I request a bulk quotation?

Provide the approved grade or mill designation, 0.23 mm thickness, finished width, coil weight and quantity, P1.7/50 and B800 requirements, coating, slit-edge requirements, destination, delivery schedule and mandatory MTC documents.
