Abstract
The oxide film formed during secondary recrystallization annealing of grain -oriented 3% Si steel using aluminum nitride as an inhibitor was investigat ed by x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), glow discharge optical emission spe ctrometry (GD-OES), and quantitative chemical analysis (CA) in order to cla rify the structure and the formation process. Spinel (MgAl2O4) was identifi ed in addition to forsterite (Mg2SiO4) by XRD. From the consideration on th e basis of the element distribution of Mg, Si, Al in the glass film and the quantitative correlation between the amount of spinel and that of forsteri te, it was concluded that spinel was formed by the substitution reaction of Si in forsterite film for Al generated by decomposition of AIN.
