23QH095 Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel — 0.23 mm, 0.95 W/kg
23QH095: what it is and where it belongs
23QH095 uses a conventional (CGO) substrate with laser domain refinement to reach 0.95 W/kg at 0.23 mm. It is the grade for customers who need thin gauge and Grade 2 compliance but cannot absorb Hi-B pricing — provided the core design accounts for the slightly lower flux density and higher magnetostriction.
Typical applications
Cost-driven compact substations
Entry-level distribution transformers
Markets with lower efficiency thresholds
High-volume repeat orders with tight price targets
Selection and processing notes
Conventional substrate has slightly higher magnetostriction: compensate in core clamping for low-noise units.
Sample-test every batch: this band includes both integrated-mill and semi-process material.
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: GB 23Q equivalent. Buyers specifying to IEC or ASTM may treat this grade as the 0.23 mm, 0.95 W/kg tier; the equivalence sheet is supplied with the quotation so the substitution can be written into the purchase order without ambiguity.
