However, gauge of 0.0108 inches. Specimens of each steel at in the process of the present invention it hasbeen each thickness were analyzed for permeability and core found that a very limited and critical range of copper loss with the exception of two specimens at 0.0108 must be present to obtain the desirable properties from inches which were not suitable for analysis. These data the simplified process that involves a single coldrolling are set forth in the following table.

To a lesser but very definite extent, the alloys having less than the critical quantity of copper also exhibit greater core losses than equivalent alloys containing copper in the critical range.
The more desirable core losses and permeabilities of the alloys of this invention are obtained as the final gauge gets thinner. It is clear from the data that the desirable low core loss and high permeability properties increase rapidly as the thickness of the final cold rolled gauge increases from .0108 inches to 0.025 inches.
In summary, the process of the present invention provides for an economical method for making highly oriented silicon steel, a process employing a single cold rolling step instead of multiple cold rolling steps with intermediate annealing. The process has been demonstrated to depend upon the presence of critical amounts of copper and silicon within the silicon steel and upon cold rolling to a gauge less than 0.025 inches. The process as thus set forth permits obtaining oriented silicon steel with a single cold roll and is therefor a great improvement over prior art processes requiring multiple cold rolling steps with intermediate heat treatments.
It is evident that the usual methods for producing silicon steels conventionally employed will be used in the process of this invention. It is also contemplated that the compositions of silicon steels employed in this invention will include conventionally used materials to provide their own functions and will exclude those materials known to be destructive of the magnetic properties of silicon steels.
