Prediction of anisotropic properties of grain-oriented steels based on magnetic measurements

Magnetic properties of grain-oriented steels are inseparably linked to their anisotropy. A proper characterization of anisotropy is thus crucial for practical applications. In the paper a description based on magnetic measurements carried out for three well-defined cutting angles is presented. It is shown that it is possible to predict magnetic properties of interest (coercive field strength, remanence flux density) for an arbitrary angle using a limited number of measurements.
