Effect of Rare Earths on the Precipitation Behavior of High Temperature Deformation Inhibitors in the Ferrite Zone of Oriented Silicon Steel

Abstract:

The recrystallization and inhibitor precipitation behaviors of rare earths under water cooling after holding for different times of oriented silicon steel hot rolled at 1200°C in the ferrite zone with 30% deformation were analyzed using Gleeble 1500D, SEM,TEM and ICP. The results showed that: during the hot rolling of oriented silicon steel in the high temperature ferrite zone, only dynamic reversion occurred, no dynamic recrystallization occurred, and the amount of precipitates did not increase significantly; after deformation at 1200°C, static recrystallization occurred after holding for about 20s, and the inhibitor started to precipitate and grow. The higher the recrystallization rate, the faster the volume fraction of precipitates. After the deformation, the amount of Cu₂S and MnS in the precipitates was similar. At 64% recrystallization rate, MnS increased by about 8% and Cu₂S increased by about 23%. At the same time, most of the precipitates were precipitated in the crystal, and gradually nucleated and grew at the grain boundary when the holding time was extended. After rare earth lanthanum and cerium were added, the precipitation amount of inhibitor was reduced. The higher the degree of static recrystallization, the more obvious the effect of rare earth on the precipitation of inhibitor.
