ABB and EKSOFT enhance silicon steel production for China’s growing electrification sector
Chinese system integrator EKSOFT is using ABB’s Stressometer® systems to equip its customers with high performance flatness and measurement control solutions for silicon steel production.
From power generation and distribution to EVs and home appliances, silicon steel is a key ingredient in the electrification of society. Enabling smaller and more efficient components with lower energy losses, it can be found in a wide range of consumer and industrial equipment and plays a core role in the transition to electrical vehicles (EVs).
In China, the country’s focus on prioritizing EV battery production and electrification infrastructure is seeing the demand for high-quality silicon steel increasing faster than other steel types. With a dual focus on both growing its exports and servicing the electrification of its own society, it has been rapidly growing its silicon steel production industry, with output estimated to reach 18 to 20 million tons by 2026.
