23QG080 Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel — 0.23 mm, 0.80 W/kg
23QG080: what it is and where it belongs
23QG080 is the standard answer for Grade 2 dry-type transformers and mainstream compact substations, and the grade we hold in stock most of the year. At 0.80 W/kg and 1.90 T it meets the requirement with margin, processes well on conventional lines, and is available in volume from more than one mill — which keeps both price and lead time predictable.
Typical applications
Grade 2 dry-type transformers
Mainstream European and American box substations
Distribution units in the 200–1250 kVA band
OEM programmes with repeat annual volume
Selection and processing notes
Multi-mill availability makes this the safest grade for schedule-critical projects.
For Grade 1, move to 23GK075; the price step is smaller than going to 0.20 mm.
Supply form and documentation
Supplied as master coil 900–1250 mm wide (508 mm ID, 2–5 t per coil), slit strip from approximately 100 mm at ±0.5 mm width tolerance, or cut-to-length sheets to your lamination size. Standard insulation coating is C5, with C6 heat-resistant and chrome-free options. Every shipment carries an MTC to EN 10204 3.1 stating grade, heat number, measured core loss and flux density, plus packing list and — for export — certificate of origin and a standard cross-reference sheet against IEC 60404-8-7, ASTM A876, EN 10107 and JIS C 2553.
Equivalent designations
Nearest mill equivalent: B23R080. Buyers specifying to IEC or ASTM may treat this grade as the 0.23 mm, 0.80 W/kg tier; the equivalence sheet is supplied with the quotation so the substitution can be written into the purchase order without ambiguity.
