Nh. Heo et al., Nucleation and development of Goss texture and magnetic induction in thin-gauged 3% Si-Fe alloy, J APPL PHYS, 85(8), 1999, pp. 6022-6024
Nucleation and development of Goss texture have been investigated in high-p
urity 3% silicon-iron alloy strips. During final annealing, under a high va
cuum, Goss texture can form independently from cold-rolled matrix at the ea
rly stage of primary recrystallization, regardless of any pre-existing Goss
texture near the strip surface. The formation mechanism of the new Goss te
xture probably follows the oriented nucleation theory, which is due to segr
egated sulfur present on the strips in a final annealing time. Goss texture
in the primary recrystallization develops into the final Goss texture or n
ot, depending on cold rolling conditions. (C) 1999 American Institute of Ph
