The grain oriented silicon steel containing 3%Si-0.5%Cu was produced by low slab reheating temperature technique. The precipitates were observed during the mainly process such as hot rolling, normalization, primary and secondary recrystallization annealing. The species, size, density and shape of precipitates were identified using TEM technique. The results indicate that Cu2S and AlN are mainly inhibitors which precipitate during hot rolling and normalization respectively. After primary recrystallization annealing the precipitation size of Cu2S is in the range of 30~40nm while the mean size of AlN is ~50nm, which could inhibit grain growth. In addition, the precipitation of MnS is inhibited comparing with the precipitation of Cu2S.

OM (optical microscopy) and EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) techniques were used to study microstructure and texture distribution during primary recrystallization under different intermediate annealing temperatures in CGO silicon steels. The effect of intermediate annealing temperature on texture distribution in 3% Si electrical steel was analyzed. The results indicate that the microstructure in primary recrystallization matrix of CGO silicon steel is comprised of equiaxed ferrite grains. Mean grain size of primary recrystallization increases with the rising of intermediate annealing temperature.γ-fiber texture is the dominant component in primary recrystallization matrix. With higher intermediate annealing temperature,111121texture and111110texture increase and111121texture is stronger than111110texture. Goss texture was observed to be decreased firstly and then increased. The content of high angle grain boundaries in primary recrystallization matrix are affected by intermediate annealing temperature. When intermediate annealing temperature is increased, high angle grain boundaries are increased firstly and then decreased. Misorientation distribution in primary recrystallized matrix is affected by primary recrystallization annealing temperature either. The content of high angle grain boundaries are increased owing to higher primary recrystallization annealing temperature, which can be a benefit to the abnormal growth of Goss grains in secondary recrystallization.

Contrastive analysis on recrystallized strips of high permeability grain-oriented silicon steel by inherent and acquired inhibitor method has been done, including structure, grain size, coincidence site lattice(CSL) and texture. Results show that the mean primary grain sizes of high permeability grain-oriented silicon steel by inherent inhibitor method and acquired inhibitor method of this experiment are 12.66μm and 27.95μm, respectively. The former is homogeneous structure while the latter is coarsened to some extent. Both primary recrystallized strips have equivalent percentage of ∑9 boundary, but the strip by acquired inhibitor method has higher percentage of ∑3 boundary than that by inherent inhibitor method. Both primary recrystallized strips have {111}<112> as the main texture component, however, the strip by acquired inhibitor method has(113)[5,-11,2] texture component, which is not desirable for ideal secondary recrystallization texture.

Recrystallization texture in grain oriented silicon steel at different annealing temperature is investigated. Normalized x-ray intensities of various orientation components observed in Orientation Distribution Function are used for comparison. The computed CSL boundary distributions about Goss component with annealing condition were calculated. The misorientation angle distribution is also measured in order to find the importance of high-energy boundary with misorientation 20~45° range for the secondary recrystallization of Goss grain. From the analysis of CSL boundary distribution and misorienation angle distribution, the distribution of CSL boundaries does not evidently show any preferred difference between Goss and other texture components. Whereas, the misorientation angle analysis shows that the number of 20°~45° misoriented boundaries is higher around the Goss grains than around other texture components.

After primary recrystallization, on further annealing, abnormal grain growth occurred in ultra low carbon steel. Texture evolution was studied by comparing the orientations after complete secondary recrystallization, with on one hand the nuclei for abnormal grain growth and on the other hand the selective growth products of the primary recrystallized matrix. The influence of both mechanisms could be identified in the final texture.

The microstructure evolution and the dynamic processes of grain refinement in a 304-type austenitic stainless steel during multiple calibre hot rolling at temperatures of 700-1000°C were studied. The structural changes are characterized by the elongation of original grains towards the rolling axis and the development of new fine grains, the mean size of which decreases with decreasing the deformation temperature. During multiple rolling at 1000°C, the new grains resulted from the development of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization involving a bulging of frequently corrugated grain boundaries. On the other hand, the new grain boundaries leading to remarkable refinement of original microstructure were developed at temperatures below 800°C as a result of continuous strain-induced reactions.

The microstructure and texture evolution of the as-cast and hot rolled grain-oriented silicon steel strips was investigated, and the precipitation of the inhibitors of the hot rolled strips was clarified. The results showed that the microstructure of the as-cast strip was characterized by coarse columnar grains with strong {001}<0vw> fiber texture. The microstructure of hot rolled strips was composed of ferrite and pearlite and the microstructure was gradually refined with increasing hot rolling reduction. In the hot rolled strips, α and γ fiber textures were enhanced at the expense of initial {001}<0vw> fiber texture and Goss texture was generated in the surface and sub-surface layer with increasing hot rolling reduction. Besides, a great number of dispersed MnS particles with the size of 20-30nm were observed in the hot rolled strips. These MnS particles could act as the effective inhibitors during the second recrystallization annealing of the grain-oriented silicon steel.

Grain-oriented silicon steel was produced by strip casting route. The effect of different annealing temperature on primary annealing and secondary annealing was investigated. The result showed that the average grain diameter increased and the grain uniformity was gradually destroyed with the increasing annealing temperature. Regardless of annealing temperature, the primary texture consisted of strong γ-fiber and weak λ-fiber. With the increase of annealing temperature, the γ-fiber intensity increased. In addition, the Goss component was not shown at 780-880 °C but appeared at 980 °C. After secondary annealing, complete abnormal grain growth occurred in all samples and the average grain diameter increased with the primary annealing temperature. The Goss sharpness of secondary grains firstly increased and then decreased with a peak value obtained at 830 °C. This result was explained in terms of the combination of the inhibiting force, primary grain diameter and primary texture.

Desirable magnetic properties for grain oriented electrical steels are low core loss and high magnetic flux density. These properties are closely related with sharpness of {110} texture. This Goss texture develops by abnormal grain growth during secondary recrystallization annealing. Based on experimental results, a general suggestion which estimates the magnetic properties after completion of secondary recrystallization from a primary recrystallized texture can be proposed. For a material to have better magnetic properties after completion of secondary recrystallization, it should have a primary recrystallized texture in which there are not only large number of ideal Goss grains, but also lower frequency of low angle grain boundary around those Goss grains.
