grain oriented
Explanation:
This is material used to make transformer cores. The word used for "crystals" in metallurgical circles is grains. These material is processed so that these are aligned as far as possible so that when the magnetic direction is flipped by the change in current there is as little loss as possible - it is material for very "soft magnets"

Not sure whether your "lamierino" is sheet, strip or plate, but in English all this would be part of a phrase like:

Cold-rolled grain-oriented electrical steel sheet and strip

magnetic sheeting with crystal orientation


Explanation:
"The control of crystal orientation is an essential consideration for high-density recording applications. " This is taken from the metallurgy website, and I think it's what you're looking for.
