The results indicated that electropulsing accelerated recrystallization, and decreased the temperature of recrystallization. Electropulsing favors refinement of the grain structure of the alloy. Effects of electropulsing on strength and elongation of the alloy were discussed from the point view of dislocation dynamics, microstructural changes, and electropulsing kinetics.展开更多

This study analyzed the fomation mechanism of ＇toil-burn＂ defects and the strategies to prevent them,and proposed, according to the equipment and process status in the production fields ,some relevant optimized control measures and process adjustment schemes from two perspectives of reducing the residual emulsion trod avoiding the specific temperature range. The results demonstrate that the application of the proposed optimization meastu＇es effectively inhibits the formation of ＂oil-bum＂ defects.展开更多

The results indicated that the cold-rolled sheets of coarse-grained strip with pronounced {100} components exhibited stronger 入 fiber(<100>//ND) and weaker γ fiber(<111>//ND)texture as composed to the fine-grained strip with strong Goss({110}(001)) texture. After annealing, the former was dominated by η fiber(<001>//RD) texture with a peak at {110}<001)orientation, while the latter consisted of strong {111}(112) and relatively weak {110}(001) texture. In addition, a number of precipitates of size ～30-150 nm restricted the grain growth during annealing, resulting in recrystallization of grain size of ～46 μm in the coarse-grained specimen and ～41μm in the fine-grained specimen.Ultimately, higher magnetic induction(～1.72 T) and lower core loss(～4.04 W/kg) were obtained in the final annealed sheets of coarse-grained strip with strong {100} texture.展开更多

Goss grains were sufficiently developed and covered the entire surface of the secondary recrystallized sheets. The microstructure and texture was characterized by OM, EBSD, TEM, and XRD. It was observed that after rolling at 700 ℃, the 6.5 wt% Si steel exhibited a considerable degree of shear bands, whereas the 4.5 wt% Si steel indicated their rare presence. After primary annealing, completely equiaxed grains showing strong y-fiber texture were presented in both alloys. By comparison, the 6.5 wt% Si steel showed smaller grain size and few favorable Goss grains. Additionally, a higher density of fine precipitates were exhibited in the 6.5 wt% Si steel, leading to a ~ 30-s delay in primary recrystallization. During secondary annealing, abnormal grain growth of the 6.5 wt% Si steel occurred at higher temperature compared to the 4.5 wt% Si steel, and the final grain size of the 6.5 wt% Si steel was greater. The magnetic induction B8 of the 4.5 wt% Si and the 6.5 wt% Si steels was 1.75 and 1.76 T, respectively, and the high- frequency core losses were significantly improved in comparison with the non-oriented high silicon steel.展开更多
