Abstract. The magnetic properties of non-oriented electrical steels are determined by the microstructure and texture of the material. Besides optimum grain size (microstructure) for low values of specific magnetic losses, a high intensity of θ-fibre texture and low intensity of γ-fibre and α-fibre texture is desirable. Each of the processing steps influences the intensity of the θ-fibre in the final processed material. In this paper the interplay of the various processing steps on the intensity of the θ-fibre is regarded for ferritic Iron-Silicon steels with 2.4 wt.% Si and 3.0 wt.% Si.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
