About Norman P. Goss
- Norman P.
- Goss (February 4, 1902 – October 28, 1977) was an inventor and researcher from Cleveland, Ohio, United States. He graduated from Case Institute of Technology in 1925.
- He made significant contributions to the field of metals research, and in 1935 he published a paper and patented a method to obtain 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". Grain-oriented electrical steel enabled the development of highly efficient electrical machines, especially transformers.
- Today, the magnetic cores of all high-voltage high-power transformers are made of grain-oriented electrical steel.
