Effect of Annealing Prior to Cold Rolling on the Microstructure Evolution and Energy Losses of Low-Si, Ultra-Low-C Hot-Rolled Electrical Steel

The microstructure of a low Si, ultra-low-C, hot-rolled electrical steel strip is modified by annealing at T < To, the α→γ transformation temperature. This heat treatment causes the abnormal anisotropic growth of surface grains which consumes the original hot-rolled microstructure. The growth of...
