At Sino, we unlock the hidden power in your lamination stacks. Our expert lamination stacks steel annealing service changes your regular parts into high-performance cores. The lamination stack is the most important part of your motor or transformer. It decides how well it works, how long it lasts, and how quiet it is. Our Lamination Stacks Steel Annealing service is a special scientific process. It is made to turn a good part into a magnetic core that works at its very best.
This means your electric motors, transformers, and generators will run better, use less power, and last longer. We take the parts you make from stamping or laser cutting. Then, we use a special heat treatment, a process known as lamination annealing, to make their magnetic properties perfect. This gets rid of the stress from making the parts and helps your final product work at its best.
With the Sino annealing process, you will see real results:
Our lamination annealing process cuts down on energy waste, which is also known as core loss. This type of energy waste includes things called hysteresis loss and eddy current loss. A big reduction in this iron loss makes your machine work much better.
We make the steel's magnetic permeability much better. This means you can create strong magnetic fields with less electricity, which gives you more power.
We fix the problems that happen when the parts are made. Our lamination annealing goes beyond just simple stress relief. We carefully control the entire heating and cooling process. This includes recovery, recrystallization, and making sure the tiny grains inside the steel grow in the right way. This process gets rid of the stress inside the metal caused by stamping and cutting.
Our work is more than just heating metal. It is a careful science. The Sino team has developed a perfect lamination annealing cycle. This process gives you the best results every time. We work with both batch annealing for large groups of parts and continuous annealing for a steady flow of work.
Different kinds of electrical steel need very specific lamination annealing methods. Our team of engineers knows a lot about the science of both Non-Oriented (NGOES) and Grain-Oriented (GOES) steels. This lets us use lamination annealing to improve what makes each type of material special.
For motors and machines that spin, we make sure the magnetic properties of NGOES are the same in all directions. For semi-processed steel, our annealing cycle (at 750-950°C) starts a process that completely resets the steel’s internal structure to get the best magnetic results. For fully-processed steel, we use a special stress-relief lamination annealing process. This fixes the magnetic quality that was damaged by stamping, without making the grains grow too much. In every case, a special mix of nitrogen and hydrogen gas in the air stops rust from forming and protects the insulation between the layers.
For power transformers, our high-temperature lamination annealing for GOES creates the special “Goss texture.” This is needed for excellent magnetic properties in one specific direction. This process involves heating the steel in a special box oven to almost 1200°C. This encourages a second, more advanced kind of grain growth. This makes large grains that all point in the perfect direction. We use pure, dry hydrogen gas. This gas actively cleans the steel by taking out unwanted materials. It also creates a thin layer of forsterite glass, which provides insulation and adds a good kind of tension to the steel to lower energy waste.

Outcome | Uniform properties in all directions. | Extremely high permeability in the rolling direction. |
To get the best magnetic results, the steel must be extremely pure. Bits of carbon inside the steel get in the way of the magnetic fields. This makes the steel waste more energy as hysteresis loss. Our lamination stacks steel annealing processes include a carefully controlled step to remove carbon. We do this to get the amount of carbon down to less than 0.005%. By controlling the gases inside the furnace, we use a specific reaction to remove carbon from the steel’s surface. This makes a very clean internal structure, which allows the magnetic fields to move around easily and keeps energy loss as low as possible.
Noise is a very important thing to control in any design. A main cause of this noise is something called magnetostriction. We design our lamination annealing process to reduce this effect. We do this by creating a more stable structure inside the steel. We achieve this by getting the grain size just right, making the Goss texture perfect in GOES materials, using the surface layer to create good tension, and cooling the steel down carefully to avoid new stress.
We have the special ability to anneal new kinds of materials for equipment that works at very high speeds.
Amorphous Cores Our gentle, low-heat annealing process gets rid of stress left over from when the core was made. This greatly improves its magnetic properties. We can also do annealing inside a magnetic field. This lets us change the magnetic behavior for specific jobs.
Nanocrystalline Cores Our careful two-step annealing process changes a starting amorphous material into a powerful nanocrystalline one. It does this by making a mix of super-tiny grains inside a non-grainy material. This gives it amazing magnetic abilities.
The high-performance lamination stacks made by Sino are used in the most important machines. Our work helps power today’s world and build tomorrow’s technology.
Our cores are used in motors for factories and in appliances at home. Better motors mean lower electric bills for everyone. The SMMA (Small Motor & Motion Association) agrees that high efficiency is very important
For EV motors, every bit of power matters. Our annealed stacks help cars go farther on a single charge. They also help the motor become smaller and more powerful.
In airplanes, parts must be light and strong. Our work on motors and moving parts used in airplanes meets the highest standards. We are proud to follow rules that make flying safe.
Our work on transformer cores makes the power grid better. We also help make power from the sun and wind in renewable energy systems. This helps us build a cleaner world.
Our stacks are used in special inductors and other parts that work very fast. It’s important that these parts don’t get too hot. Our efficient cores make less heat.
We are serious about manufacturing in a way that is good for the environment. Our modern shops are built to save energy. We use systems that reuse heat and have top-quality insulation. This helps us reduce our impact on the environment and keep our running costs down. This gives long-term value to our customers.
