The effects of magnetic annealing on recrystallization and texture evolution in asannealed interstitial-free (IF) steel sheet were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction ODF analysis, SEM-EBSD analysis, and optical microstructure observation. During the magnetic annealing, specimens were placed at the center of the applied magnetic field, with their rolling planes parallel to the field direction (MD) and their rolling direction (RD) normal to the field direction (MD). It was found that the magnetic annealing retards the recrystallization process, but promotes the nucleation at the initial stage of recrystallization. Magnetic annealing did not change the mechanism of recrystallization texture evolution but improved the development of γ-fiber texture during the process of recrystallization, and the magnetically annealed specimen had stronger γ-fiber texture compared with the conventionally annealed specimen; this interesting finding is quite different from the previous work on magnetically annealed IF steel.

High magnetic field is applied with the field direction parallel to the rolling direction during annealing of a cold rolled IF steel sheet. Results of X-ray ODF analysis show that, magnetic field annealing retards the normal recrystallization texture evolution for the IF steel sheet. It is worth noting that an abnormal increase of orientation intensity at {100}<110> is found after magnetic annealing for 25min at 650°C. When the magnetic field strength is increased from 10 Tesla to 14 Tesla, the a-fiber is further strengthened, especially the {100}<110> component. Combined with EBSD analysis results, it is considered that the magnetic field does not change the mechanism of recrystallization texture evolution for the IF steel sheet in the present case.

An AC magnetic field (0.5Tesla) is applied with the field direction perpendicular to the rolling direction during annealing of a 76% cold-rolled IF steel sheet. Microstructure and texture evolution in the as-annealed specimens were determined using SEM based OIM technique. It is found that the recrystallization is noticeably retarded by AC magnetic field annealing. At the early stage of recrystallization (annealing at 650°C for 30min), the development of (111) <123> orientations was favored by the AC magnetic field. With progress of recrystallization (annealing at 700°C and 750°C for 30min), the applied AC magnetic field suppressed the development of γ-fiber recrystallization textures to some extent.

The effect of high magnetic field annealing on the nucleation sites for recrystallized nuclei with {111}<112> orientation in the initial stage of recrystallization in as-annealed interstitial-free (IF) steel sheet were investigated by the SEM-EBSD analysis. Specimens of cold rolled IF steel sheet were annealed at 650°C for 0min and 10min respectively with a 12-tesla magnetic field to obtain a partially recrystallized microstructure. During the magnetic field annealing, they were respectively placed at the center of the applied field with their rolling planes parallel to the magnetic field direction (MD), and with their rolling direction (RD) parallel and normal to the MD, respectively. It was found that different to the non-field annealed specimen, in the field annealed specimens, the {111}<112> oriented recrystallized nulei favored to nucleate in the {111}<112> deformed matrix and not in the {111}<110> deformed matrix. This phenomenon may be attributed to the magnetic ordered state induced by the magnetic field, which might suppress the formation of high-energy grain boundaries between the newly formed nuclei and the deformed matrix.

Specimens cut from a cold-rolled IF steel sheet of 1 mm thickness were respectively annealed at 750°C for 20min under a range of DC electric fields (1kV/cm~4kV/cm). The Effect of electric field strength on recrystallization texture of IF steel sheet was studied by mean of X-ray diffraction ODF analysis. It was found that γ-fiber textures were notably enhanced as electric field strength increased. The strength of γ-fiber textures got their peak values as the applied electric field reached to 4kV/cm. The possible reason for such phenomena was discussed in the viewpoint of interaction between the applied electric field and the orientation-dependent stored-energy in deformed metals which is known as the driving force for recrystallization during annealing.
