Norman P. Goss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norman P. Goss (born ? - died 1977) - inventor and researcher from Cleveland, USA.

He graduated from Case Institute of Technology in 1925. He made significant contributions to the field of metals research and in 1935 he patented a method[1] and published a paper[2] describing a method of obtaining so-called grain-oriented electrical steel, which has highly anisotropic magnetic properties. This special "grain-oriented" structure was named after its inventor and it is referred to as the "GOSS structure".

The grain-oriented electrical steel allowed development of highly efficient electrical machines, especially transformers. Today, the magnetic cores of all high-voltage high-power transformers are made from grain-oriented electrical steel.
