Checking the archives it seems the topic of transformer core iron has 
appeared a few times, but not the specific the information I need. 

Does anyone know the typical chemical composition of core iron? - in
particular percent content of carbon, silicon and phosphorus that is
generally accepted for core laminations. Reason for asking is I need a
source of decarburized iron (C < 0.01%), so if anyone knows of scrap
transformer cores that are otherwise useless and destined for recycling,
please do let me know.
