Transformer cores are made up of insulated laminations to cut down on eddy currents induced in the core, which is an unwanted power-loss.
Transformer cores are chosen to limit eddy currents, which cause heating and losses in the core. Very thin laminations minimize this overhead cost of running a transformer by reducing losses associated with eddy currents.
A thin sheet of wood is called veneer.
The answer is foil
Thin
Presumably, you are asking "What is the function of transformer laminations?", rather than their "uses".A transformer's magnetic circuit, or core, is made from thin sheets of silicon steel, each insulated from each other, and termed laminations.The alternating current flowing through a transformer's primary winding not only induces a voltage into the secondary windings, but into the core itself, resulting in circulating currents, called eddy currents, which result in energy losses. The very low cross-sectional area of each lamination acts to offer a high resistance to the flow of these eddy currents, thus minimising these currents, and the associated eddy-current losses.
Aluminum foil is a thin, pliable sheet of aluminum used for cooking, packaging, cosmetics and insulation.

Tin snips are designed for straight cuts in thin metal, while aviation snips are more versatile and can make curved and straight cuts in various thicknesses of metal. Aviation snips are more suitable for cutting sheet metal due to their versatility and ability to handle thicker materials.
Core lamination refers to the process of layering thin sheets of magnetic material, like steel or iron, in an alternating pattern to form the core of an electrical transformer or motor. This laminated construction reduces energy losses due to eddy currents and improves the overall efficiency of the device.
It is the thin line a saw cuts in material.
They are thin and precise.
Thinner cuts of meat cook more quickly. Using thin cuts of meat may also ensure that it gets thoroughly cooked in the center.
