- Goss texture directly impacts the losses in electrical transformers and here we show magnetics losses can be decreased from 7.5% to 5% providing a huge impact to the carbon footprint when globally applied. This work showed for the first time the use of in-situ techniques to deliver new knowledge about the significance of thermal conductivity, controlled heat flow direction and low heating rate during the later stages of abnormal grain growth to achieve sharp Goss texture. Through multiple complementary techniques and collaborative research to confirm for the first time that dislocation stored energy played no role.
