Abstract: Grain oriented electrical steels should have low core loss and high magnetic flux density. These properties are closely related with sharpness of {110} texture after secondary recrystallization. This Goss texture develops by abnormal grain growth during secondary recrystallization annealing. Based on experimental results, a general suggestion which estimates the magnetic properties after secondary recrystallization from a primary recrystallized texture can be made. For a material to have better magnetic properties after secondary recrystallization, its primary recrystallized texture should have not only larger number of ideal Goss grains, but also lower frequency of low angle grain boundary around those Goss grains.

Abstract: The effect of cold rolling reduction on shear band formation and crystal orientation within shear bands and annealing texture were investigated in Fe-3%Si {111}<112> single crystals. Several types of shear bands were observed with different angles to rolling direction, dependent on rolling reduction. As for shear band formation, those with smaller angles were formed earlier and those with larger angles were formed later. Regarding crystal orientation along shear bands after rolling reduction, orientation distribution from the initial became large in accordance with reduction and even exceeded Goss orientation when rolling reduction became larger than 40%. After annealing, however, recrystallized grains along shear bands were mainly Goss grains regardless of reduction. The speculated reason for the dominance of Goss after annealing is that Goss subgrains with less density of dislocations were surrounded by largely deformed areas.

Abstract: The pancake-shaped growth of Goss grains in Fe-3%Si steel is approached by solid-state wetting mechanism. The fraction of grains with Σ9 relation with Goss grains in the 0.3 mm thick specimens after primary recrystallization is higher near the surface than at the center. This result indicates that the probability of solid-state wetting is higher near the surface than at the center, leading to the pancake-shaped growth.

Abstract: Fe₈₁Ga₁₉ sheets were produced by conventional rolling procedure. Recrystallization texture dominated with strong Goss ({110}) was successfully obtained through sheet thickness by primary recrystallization annealing. The development of Goss can be attributed to the favorable shear band morphology and deformation texture derived from the applied specific rolling process.

Abstract: Desirable magnetic properties for grain oriented electrical steels are low core loss and high magnetic flux density. These properties are closely related with sharpness of {110} texture. This Goss texture develops by abnormal grain growth during secondary recrystallization annealing. Based on experimental results, a general suggestion which estimates the magnetic properties after completion of secondary recrystallization from a primary recrystallized texture can be proposed. For a material to have better magnetic properties after completion of secondary recrystallization, it should have a primary recrystallized texture in which there are not only large number of ideal Goss grains, but also lower frequency of low angle grain boundary around those Goss grains.

Abstract: In nonoriented electrical steels, the control of texture has received little attention, and hence there is an unexplored possibility to improve the magnetic properties of nonoriented steels through texture control. Furthermore, the formation of recrystallization texture in these steels has not yet been systematically studied. In this study, such systematic investigations are undertaken for nonoriented electrical steels with 2% Si. New information obtained from EBSD measurements on partially recrystallized specimens will allow us to know what is happening during the recrystallization stage. The formation of recrystallization texture is much better explained by oriented nucleation. This is supported by the fact that the area fraction of nuclei or recrystallized grains with specific orientations for all new grains remains almost constant during the progress of recrystallization. Most nuclei have a high misorientation relationship with the surrounding deformed matrix: 25~55
. The main texture components of nuclei or recrystallized grains during the progress of recrystallization are Goss and {111}<112>. Deformed {111}<110> and {111}<112> grains generally disappear at the early stage of recrystallization whereas deformed {001}<110> and {112}<110> grains are mostly consumed at the late stage of recrystallization.
