An oriented magnetic core lamination technique and a method of producing circular lamination cores. The method includes cutting rectangular strips with teeth pointing in a single direction (may not be the traverse or rolling direction) from the steel sheet plane, as opposed to directly punching circular laminates from the steel sheet with the teeth pointing in all directions. The strips are cut in such a way that the short side is aligned to the direction that has the best magnetic properties. The strips can then be bent into a donut or toroidal shape, either inwardly (with teeth pointing to the circle center) or outwardly (with teeth pointing out of the center) depending on the design of the lamination core. The direction with the best magnetic properties may be determined by non-destructive methods such as magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) analysis, x-ray diffraction (XRD), or electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD).
