Improvement of Texture and Magnetic Properties in 4.5 wt.% Si Grain-Oriented Electrical Steels

4.5 wt.% Si grain-oriented electrical steel sheets were successfully produced by hot rolling, normalizing, warm rolling and annealing, and texture evolution was investigated using macro- and micro-texture analysis. It is found that the recrystallization texture of sheets is very sensitive to the warm rolling reduction, and 83-87% warm rolling reductions are more favorable to η texture (<100>//RD, rolling direction) evolution during secondary recrystallization, and consequently the magnetic induction B8 is significantly improved to 1.69-1.70 T in this rolling reduction range. The decreased B8 in the 89% warm rolled sheet is ascribed to the obviously decreased primary recrystallization η fiber, which leads to the insufficient quantity of η grains in the early stage of abnormal grain growth. The results obtained in the current work can provide an efficient way to improve the recrystallization texture of 4.5 wt.% Si grain-oriented electrical steel sheets.
