Abstract
The effect of hot-rolling texture on the plastic strain ratio of a continuously cast low-carbon steel and a vacuum-melted low-carbon iron has been investigated as a function of the temperature of hot rolling. Normal cold rolling and a simulated box anneal, in dry hydrogen to decarburize, were employed subsequently. The microstructure and texture at every stage of the process was examined, and the plastic strain ratio (R value) of the final strip was determined. Results indicate that •R varies strongly with the hot-rolling temperature. OptimumR values were obtained when the hot-rolling temperature was 925° to 950°C.
