Work Samples

Non-oriented grain type electrical steels are used mainly in electrical rotating machines such as motors and compressors, in which the magnetization direction rotates 360 ° every cycle while remaining in the plane of the plate. The performance of these devices is affected by crystallographic texture of electrical steels due to strong anisotropy of magnetic properties. The electrical steel is supplied in the form of plates which are processed by cold rolling and subsequent annealing. Both, cold rolling and annealing directly influence the formation of crystallographic texture components. During annealing, recrystallization occurs, and this phenomenon gives rise to changes in texture that influences the quality of the final product and its application. Several works have been published in the study of the evolution of crystallographic texture and grain size in this type of electrical steel. In this work, samples have been taken in industrial conditions at various temperatures during the annealing in a coil box. Electrical steel samples cold rolled with reductions of 50% and 70% in thickness were removed during the process of annealing, and the evolution of texture with increasing temperature was studied. Aspects related to recrystallization, grain size and the evolution of texture and magnetic properties were discussed. Texture and recrystallization were studied by X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The magnetic properties were measured in a vibrating sample magnetometer.

The Impact

[d=A]A tailor-made microstructure, especially regarding grain size and texture, improves the magnetic properties of non-oriented electrical steels. One way to adjust the microstructure is to control the production and processing in great detail. Simulation and modeling approaches can help to evaluate the impact of different process parameters and finally select them appropriately. We present individual model approaches for hot rolling, cold rolling, annealing and shear cutting and aim to connect the models to account for the complex interrelationships between the process steps. A layer model combined with a microstructure model describes the grain size evolution during hot rolling. The crystal plasticity finite-element method (CPFEM) predicts the cold-rolling texture. Grain size and texture evolution during annealing is captured by the level-set method and the heat treatment model GraGLeS2D+. The impact of different grain sizes across the sheet thickness on residual stress state is evaluated by the surface model. All models take heterogeneous microstructures across the sheet thickness into account. Furthermore, a relationship is established between process and material parameters and magnetic properties. The basic mathematical principles of the models are explained and demonstrated using laboratory experiments on a non-oriented electrical steel with 3.16 wt.% Si as an example. Improving the magnetic properties of non-oriented electrical steels are of high interest. In this context, improvement by a tailor-made microstructure, especially regarding grain size and texture, is one focus. One way to adjust the microstructure is to control the production and processing in great detail. Simulation and modeling approaches, emphasizing grain size and texture development, can help to evaluate and finally set process parameters. Here, we present individual model approaches for hot rolling, cold rolling, annealing and shear cutting and aim to connect the models to account for the complex interrelationships between the process steps. Furthermore, a connection between the process parameters and the magnetic properties is drawn. Grain size, grain size distribution, texture and dislocation density are the main transfer parameters in between the models. All models take heterogeneous microstructures across the sheet thickness into account. The basic mathematical principles of the models are explained, and a case study is presented in each case using FeSi3.2wt%Si as an example material.

High Level

A series of cold rolling and annealing experiments were conducted to examine the influence of solute carbon during cold rolling on the annealing texture. Hot band samples with grain sizes of 8 and 47 µm were used and rolling was carried out to reductions of 70% and 85%. Two levels of solute carbon were obtained prior to cold rolling by quenching and overaging. Recrystallization textures were measured following single and two step isothermal annealing treatments. In the latter, the level of solute carbon is lowered prior to the commencement of recrystallization. For the single step treatment, the {111} texture intensity was lower in all the samples that had a high level of solute carbon present during rolling. However, when the two step annealing treatment was employed a different trend emerged. Under these circumstances, the fine grain size high rolling reduction sample showed a stronger {111} texture after annealing when the solute carbon level was high during rolling.
