Abstract

In this study, the effect of cold rolling process on the microstructure and texture evolution in 1wt. % Si non-oriented electrical steel was investigated. For this purpose, all samples were processed through single-stage hot rolling at 1100 ° C and two-stage cold rolling (cross rolling and unidirectional rolling) with intermediate annealing at 650 °C for 35 seconds. Finally, all of them were fully annealed for 3 min at 900 ° C. The results showed that cold rolling process could affect shear band formation, deformation texture and annealing texture. Shear band and {322} grains were decreased and {100} grains were increased by the cross rolling method. These observations showed the weakening of the {110} and {111} components and the strengthening of the {001} component after final annealing for the cross rolled sample. On the other hand, shear band formation in the unidirectional rolling sample caused the development of annealing Goss texture component ({110} ).
