Microstructure and Microtexture Evolution during Batch Annealing of Warm-Rolled Ti-IF Steel Sheets

Abstract:

Microstructure and microtexture evolution during batch annealing of warm-rolled Ti-IF steel sheets were investigated in this paper. It was founded that α fiber texture and the relatively weak γ fiber texture were formed in warm-rolled and air-cooled Ti-IF steel sheets. In the early stage of recrystallization, the {111} recrystallization texture was formed from the deformed {111} grains in warm-rolled Ti-IF steels. In the later stage of recrystallization, the α fiber texture was consumed and the γ fiber texture in recrystallized grains was further developed. The main recrystallization texture characteristics of warm-rolled Ti-IF steel sheets had been decided in the early stages of recrystallization, and the oriented nucleation mechanism played a leading role in the formation of recrystallization texture in warm-rolled Ti-IF steel sheets.
