Why is the motor rotor pressed with silicon steel sheet?

Yes, I have seen this kind of motor, but there is a slot on the rotor. It's from Wuhan Changhang Airlines.

Silicon steel sheet is insulated, so the iron loss test should be done for large motor rewinding many times, that is, to check the insulation of silicon steel sheet.

Yes, it can only be reflected in the iron loss test, or it can only be checked when it is newly assembled. Each part is connected to the shaft.
