Grain non-oriented electrical steel has its main application in electrical motors and its microstructure significantly influences their efficiency. The objective of this work was to investigate whether or not magnetic field applied during annealing process affects grain growth and the development of important texture components leading to an improvement of the magnetic properties. GNO Fe-3.25%Si 75% cold rolled specimens were annealed inside magnetic field with strength of 17 T at the temperature of 800°C for 3, 10 and 30 minutes. Results of average grain size after magnetic annealing showed a microstructure formed by small grains and a few very large grains. Magnetic field did not increase orientation density of {100} oriented grains and Goss grains but was able to increase density of θ fiber and decrease the density of γ fiber.

The structure, texture, second phase and magnetic properties of non-oriented electrical steel with cold and heat slab were comprised through the production test. The research result shows that the grain size of hot rolled plate by cold slab is less than that of hot rolled plate by hot slab. But after cold rolling and annealing process, the grain size is consistent. Microstructure of hot rolled coil is recrystallized microstructure and the dispersion degree of texture orientation is high. Deformation makes the texture enhancement in cold rolling which become the strong texture based on {001} {111} and <110> texture. The Ti element has aggregation which can form hard impurities as TiN and TiSN to obstruct the recrystallization. Micro fine TiC formed in the annealing process which would block magnetic domain movement and reduce the magnetic properties of the product. MnS is precipitated impurities and the coarsening of MnS phase can reduce the domain block by improving the continuous annealing temperature and the magnetic field would be optimization.

The evolution of precipitates size distribution of Ti-IF steel during annealing process has been investigated by simulating different continuous annealing (CA) and batch annealing (BA) treatments. The size and distributions of the precipitates (TiC in particular) are obtained by TEM observation and measured image analysis. They are then fitted by log-normally distribution and a model demonstrating the relationships of particle size distribution with annealing process parameters has been developed and validated by experiment results. The fine TiC precipitates (< 30 nm) vary after different annealing treatments. The effects of annealing temperature and holding time on the evolution of TiC particle size distribution are discussed.

The gripper is the most important part in an industrial robot. It is related with the environment around the robot. Today, the industrial robot grippers have to be tuned and custom made for each application by engineers, by searching to get the desired repeatability and behaviour. Vacuum suction is one of the grippers in Watch Case Press Production (WCPP) and a mechanism to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing procedure. Pick and place are the important process for the annealing process. Thus, by implementing vacuum suction gripper, the process of pick and place can be improved. The purpose of vacuum gripper other than design vacuum suction mechanism is to compare the effectiveness of vacuum suction gripper with the conventional pick and place gripper. Vacuum suction gripper is a mechanism to transport part and which later sequencing, eliminating and reducing the activities required to complete the process. Throughout this study, the process pick and place became more effective, the impact on the production of annealing process is faster. The vacuum suction gripper can pick all part at the production which will lower the loss of the productivity. In conclusion, vacuum suction gripper reduces the cycle time about 20%. Vacuum suction gripper can help lower the cycle time of a machine and allow more frequent process in order to increase the production flexibility.
