Abstract
A study was conducted to examine the effects of small Sb additions on the recrystallization behavior, texture development, and magnetic properties of a cold rolled and annealed nonoriented silicon steel. It was noted that Sb promotes the growth of {220} and {200} planes at the expense of {222} and {211} during annealing at 790°C in both decarburizing and nondecarburizing atmospheres. Magnetically favorable texture and large grain size were found to be responsible for improved magnetic properties in the antimony-bearing steel. In addition, higher hardness of the recrystallized Sb-bearing steel is believed to be due to solid solution strengthening.
