Initial recrystallization texture and magnetic induction in single-oriented electrical steel

Initial recrystallization texture is influenced by the bulk content of sulf ur and by the final reduction. At a given bulk content of sulfur, a lower f inal reduction is favorable for obtaining the initial {011} < 100 > Goss te xture. Under a fixed final reduction, a lower bulk content of sulfur is goo d for this purpose. As the intensity of initial Goss texture increases, it is easier to obtain magnetic induction (B-10). This is because the probabil ity, that the initial Goss grains survive within the time range of highly s egregated sulfur and have a chance for surface-energy-induced selective gro wth, becomes higher under the later segregated-sulfur-free condition.
