Total loss increase in electrical steels due to plastic deformation is main
ly concentrated in hysteresis loss, while classical and anomalous component
s show a slight decrease. Deformation increases both low-induction and high
-induction components. While the mechanical properties show a smooth evolut
ion with the deformation, the magnetic properties show a large difference e
ven at only 0.5% elongation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights rese
