Tata Steel shines as its arm unveils new electrical steel products

Tata Steel's subsidiary, Cogent Power, has unveiled a range of sophisticated new electrical steel products which reduce electricity losses by 20-30 percent compared to conventional grain-oriented grades. The new products are being made at Cogent Power’s Orb works in Newport, South Wales. The Orb works produce cold rolled, grain-oriented electrical steel for the manufacture of modern electricity transformers that are used to build and renew the world’s major power networks.

The launch of the new grades follows the integration in 2011 of Tata Steel’s electrical steels production route. The Orb plant now receives hot rolled coil, made in a patented process at the company’s steelworks at IJmuiden in the Netherlands.

The new grades - M080-23DR, M085-23DR, M090-27DR and M095-27DR - support this requirement, by enabling the production of highly efficient steel cores housed within the transformers used in energy transmission networks.
