Deskripsi

The production of conventional grain oriented silicon steel without normalizing was studied by two-stage cold rolling process, and the orientation evolution was analyzed by optical microscopy (OM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. The results indicate that, the key of CGO silicon steel hot rolled sheet canceling normalizing process is to obtain as many {111}<112> and Goss oriented grains as possible, meanwhile, it is to increase the nitrogen pressure appropriately during the temperature-rise stage of secondary recrystallization. By controlling the process parameters, the iron loss P<sub>1, 7</sub> of the finished product is 1,258 W/kg, and the magnetic induction B<sub>8</sub> is 1,840 T. Furthermore, the cubic orientation can be retained more in CGO silicon steel after annealing due to the less influence of columnar grain.
