Abstract: In recent years, grain oriented electrical steels are developing toward low iron loss and thin gauge products, which increase the difficulty of subsequent product shearing. In this paper, the shearing characteristics of thin gauge grain oriented electrical steels were analyzed, and the relevant researches were summarized. According to the EVI experience of grain oriented electrical steels in Baosteel, the common shearing defects of thin gauge grain oriented electrical steels were analyzed.

Key words: Baosteel, grain oriented electrical steel, shearing, thin gauge
