Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for domain refinement of texture annealed and insulation coated grain-oriented silicon steel strip by contacting the insulated steel surface to be scribed with a discharge electrode, providing a high voltage-low current and low voltage-high current to the electrode, moving the electrode across the steel while essentially maintaining contact therewith, and marking the steel with a plurality of indentations generally aligned across the steel surface by pulsing the high current to produce a plurality of electrical discharges.
