Anisotropic grades are oriented in the manufacturing direction, and must be magnetized in the direction of orientation isotropic grades are not oriented and can be magnetized in any direction, although some degree of greater magnetic strength will be found in the pressing dimension, usually the shortest dimension. The energy products range from 1.1 MGOe to about 4.0 MGOe.

Fact:-

• Lower magnetic properties
• Good resistance to demagnetization
• Popular advantage of low cost
• Very hard and brittle
