Abstract: An IF steel sample was cold rolled to a reduction of 80% and subsequently submitted to annealing treatment at 650°C, 710°C and 770°C for various durations, respectively. The grain size and evolution of partial texture of small, medium and large grains were investigated during grain growth. It was found that the growth rate and partial texture characteristic were absolutely distinct at different annealing temperature, both were temperature dependent. At same annealing temperature, partial texture for various annealing time was similar, but its intensity increases with an increment of duration. And the relation between partial texture of different grains assembly and its mean grain size can be expressed by an empirical formula from experiment data.

Abstract: In last two decades it has been extensively studied whether the grain boundary engineering can be effectively applied to controlling intergranular fracture and brittleness of different kinds of brittle materials. Grain boundary engineering has been well established. A new processing method based on magnetic field application has reached a new stage of grain boundary engineering.
