Vitesco, Baosteel Sign Deal For High-Grade Silicon Steel

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): In a development aimed at boosting sustainable mobility, Vitesco Technologies has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with leading Chinese steel conglomerate, Baosteel. 

The two companies aim to initiate joint efforts on new materials based on high grade non-oriented silicon steel, promote the development of e-mobility technology, and create a model of shared value in the industry. 

Vitesco, which is a leading international provider of modern drive technologies and electrification solutions for sustainable mobility, aims to use the high grade non-oriented silicon steel in stator and rotor laminations for drive motors. A release issued by the company stated that its high magnetic induction intensity as well as low iron loss features can significantly improve the efficiency and stability of motors. 

Through this cooperation, both parties will jointly carry out the development collaboration on related new materials and technology design to expand the use of this high-grade silicon steel in the automotive field. These would eventually get into Vitesco’s e-drive systems and thermal management systems in the future. 

Vitesco hopes “the high-quality performance brought by the electromagnetic performance and mechanical properties” will help them to continuously provide leading electrification solutions.
