Abstract: The hot bands of non-oriented electrical steel were cold rolled by asymmetric rolling with speed ratio of 1.125 as well as conventional symmetric cold rolling to investigate the effects of cold rolling mode on through-thickness texture variation. Asymmetric rolling shows a marked weakening effect on α fiber (RD//<110>) running from {001}<110> to {112}<110> through sheet thickness, especially at the side contacting with faster roll. Asymmetric rolling increases {111}<112> component while decreases {111}<110> component through sheet thickness except for the surface layers. The through-thickness texture variation due to asymmetric rolling was explained in terms of shear strain distribution.

Abstract: Fe-3.10%Si thin strips were prepared by symmetric and asymmetric cold rolling from commercial grain oriented silicon steel sheets, then annealed with and without a magnetic field. Magnetic field of 12T was applied along the rolling direction. Magnetic annealing does not essentially change the texture development that recrystallization texture consists mainly of η fiber (RD//<001>), and the strongest component tends to transform from Goss ({110}<001>) to {210}<001> with the increase in speed ratio and annealing temperature. But magnetic annealing promotes Goss component in the strips rolled with small speed ratios, while decreases {210 <001> component in those rolled with large speed ratios. Possible effect mechanism of magnetic annealing was discussed.

Abstract: Fe-3.10%Si thin strips were prepared from commercial grain oriented silicon steel sheet by cold rolling with different speed ratios and annealed at 1123K in vacuum, the cold rolling and recrystallization textures were analyzed. Cold rolling texture consists mainly of {111}<112>, {554}<225> and {332}<113> components, while their orientation densities vary with speed ratio and layer through strip thickness. Recrystallization texture development depends on speed ratio obviously, and the peak orientation density deviates from {110}<001> towards {210}<001> with the increase in speed ratio.
