Abstract

The effect of different hot and cold rolling process variables was evaluated for the secondary recrystallization behavior of silicon steel sheets, and a simple model was developed. On the basis of the model, the following results can be drawn: (a) for complete secondary recrystallization of silicon steel sheets, rolling of cast ingots must precede MnS precipitation start; (b) if it is necessitated, intermediate annealing during hot rolling passes must be carried out in the temperature of about 1000 °C; (c) during hot rolling, the amount of initial strain before the intermediate annealing of rolled strips at 1000 °C must be >70% reduction in thickness; (d) in the two-stage cold rolling method, the thickness reduction in the second cold rolling stage must be <61%; and (e) secondary recrystallization is encouraged by using the non-conventional three-stage cold rolling method with two intermediate anneals.
