Magnetic properties of grain oriented ultra-thin silicon steel sheets processed by conventional rolling and cross shear rolling

A new procedure consisting of the cross shear rolling (CSR) and the subsequent tertiary recrystallization annealing under dry hydrogen atmosphere was developed to produce the grain oriented ultra-thin silicon sheets less than 0.1 mm with high magnetic property performance. For comparison, the conventional rolling (CR) was also used to process the grain oriented ultra-thin silicon steel sheets. The effect of processing parameters on magnetic properties of the grain oriented ultra-thin silicon steel sheets was investigated. With the increase of annealing temperature and holding time, magnetic properties of the sheets processed by both rolling methods reach saturation as the result of the proceeding of the tertiary recrystallization. The thin sheets rolled by CSR did achieve better magnetic properties than those rolled by CR.

Effects of Primary Annealing Condition on Recrystallization Texture in a Grain Oriented Silicon Steel

The recrystallization texture in grain oriented silicon steel sheets, which were annealed at different primary annealingtemperatures with and without an electric field, was investigated. An automated electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD) technique was used to analyze the recrystallization texture. It was found that recovery and application ofelectric field in primary annealing lead to an increase of {001} component and a decrease of {111} component afterannealing at 900℃. The development of recrystallization texture can be explained in terms of the effects of electricfield and primary annealing temperature on recovery.     

Effect of Electropulsing on Recrystallization and Mechanical Properties of Silicon Steel Strips

Electropulsing-induced recrystallization and its effect on mechanical properties of oriented silicon steel strips (Fe-3.0%Si) were studied by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electron back-scatter diffraction. The results indicated that electropulsing accelerated recrystallization, and decreased the temperature of recrystallization. Electropulsing favors refinement of the grain structure of the alloy. Effects of electropulsing on strength and elongation of the alloy were discussed from the point view of dislocation dynamics, microstructural changes, and electropulsing kinetics.

Effects of High Magnetic Field on Recrystallization Behavior in Fe-Si Alloys

Effects of high magnetic field on recrystallization, coarsening after primary recrystallization and texture evolution were studied in non-oriented and oriented 3% silicon steels. The highest applied magnetic field strength was 10 Tesla. It was found that primary recrystallization process and coarsening after primary recrystallization are both retarded by the application of magnetic field during annealing. A difference between primary recrystallization textures annealed with or without a magnetic field was found in both non-oriented and oriented 3% silicon specimens. It was found that the amount of texture component { 111 }<112> increases by the application of magnetic field during annealing.     

冷轧压下率及初始高斯晶粒取向度对超薄取向硅钢织构演变与磁性能的影响

以不同高斯取向度的取向硅钢成品板为初始原料,采用一次冷轧法制备0.06~0.12mm厚的取向硅钢薄带。利用EBSD取向成像技术研究冷轧压下率以及初始高斯晶粒取向度对超薄取向硅钢织构演变与磁性能的影响。结果表明:随着冷轧压下率增大和厚度减小,退火后再结晶织构增强,当压下率为70%时,再结晶织构中RD∥〈001〉织构最锋锐,磁性能最佳;初始样品高斯取向度越高,制备的薄带样品磁性能越好;因此,生产高性能的取向硅钢薄带应选用初始高斯晶粒取向度较高的成品板。

Investigation of the Effect of Microstructure and Grain Boundaries in Nanostructured CMR Thin Films Using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Local Conductance Map (LCMAP)

We have investigated the spatially resolved local electronic properties of a nanostructured film of a colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) material by local conductance mapping (LCMAP) using a variable temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM) operating in a magnetic field. The nanostructured thin films (thickness ap500 nm) of the CMR material La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃ (LSMO) on silicon substrates were prepared using chemical solution deposition (CSD) process. These films have a large density of natural incoherent grain boundaries (GBs) which leads to significantly different behavior compared to oriented and epitaxial films of the same composition. Due to the presence of the GBs, these films show substantial low field magnetoresistance (LFMR) followed by a slower and almost linear decrease at higher fields and this is found to be strictly dependent on particle size. Most of the mechanisms proposed to explain the LFMR in the GB are based on tunneling through the GB. The purpose of this study is to use different STM based techniques to image these inhomogeneities and quantify them to the extent possible. In particular, we study the effect of grain size and the grain boundaries and their role in the electrical transport in nanostructured films of CMR materials     

The calculation of magnetic induction in grain orientated ultra-thin silicon steel sheets

In this work the magnetic induction in grain orientated ultra-thin silicon steel sheets (with a thickness of 0.08 mm) was calculated by employing the crystal orientation distribution function and the formula for the anisotropy of energy for a single crystal of cubic symmetry. The incomplete pole figures of {110}, {200} and {112} were measured and the corresponding orientation distribution function was determined. On the basis of the texture data and the corresponding magnetic anisotropy energy, the magnetic induction in the ultra-thin silicon steel sheet was calculated. The calculation results are in good agreement with the experimental measurement.     

Textures and Magnetic Properties of Grain Oriented ElectricalSteel Produced by Cross Shear Rolling

Commercial grain oriented electrical steels were made by cross shear rolling (CSR) with a chosen mismatch speed ratio 1.1. Original sheets of 0.75 mm thick, which had been produced by conventional cold rolling and intermediate annealing were rolled to thickness from 0.35 mm to 0.15 mm, and followed by industry annealing. The deformation texture and the magnetic properties were measured. Results indicate that: in the condition of the CSR, the deformation texture of rolled sheet is generally similar to that of conventional rolled sheet; for sheets with the thicknesses from 0.35 mm to 0.25 mm, favorable deformation textures, mainly consisting of {111} <112>, are also found at subsudece layers, which may help produce sharp Goss texture, and after the final annealing, the magnetic properties of sheets are not lower than that of conventional rolled sheets     

Micromagnetics of Ni-nanowires filled in nanochannels of porous silicon

An array of ferromagnetic nanowires embedded in silicon is fabricated using an anodizing and electroplating process. During the former one oriented porous silicon channels are fabricated whereas by the latter process Ni is incorporated into these channels. The electrodeposited Ni-wires have a great pore-length to pore-diameter (aspect) ratio up to 1000 : 1 (typical diameters between 10 and 60 nm, pore-length from 10 to 30 μm). Due to this property the samples exhibit a magnetic perpendicular anisotropy. The micromagnetic properties of Ni (e.g. Bloch-wall thickness) are responsible for the peculiar magnetic behaviour of this ferromagnet/silicon nanocomposite. Structural as well as magnetic investigations like scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), and SQUID-magnetometry display this nanocomposite as a bimodal ferromagnetic structure consisting of perpendicularly oriented Ni-wires and of single domain Ni-granules embedded in the silicon based matrix. The hysteresis curve outlines a two-fold magnetic switching, one at low fields (∼0.05 T) and the second at high fields (> 3 T). The micromagnetic magnetization reversal is treated in terms of an analytic formulation.     

Modelling primary recrystallization and grain growth in a low nickel austenitic stainless steel

This paper deals with the recrystallization and grain growth processes of a low nickel stainless steel. Samples of steel sheets with various cold rolling degrees were annealed at different temperatures and the recrystallization and grain growth kinetics have been studied. The grain size of the samples has been determined via automatic image analysis and transformed to 3-D values according to the Saltykov model. The experimental data have been analysed according to a modified model developed using the statistical approach by Abbruzzese and Lucke for the grain growth. This approach supplies a unified equation describing at the same time primary recrystallization and grain growth. The values of the dislocation density obtained from the comparison of theoretical predictions and experimental data of the grain mean radius are properly correlated to the mechanical properties of the steel.     

Texture evolution during inclined cold rolling of used non-oriented silicon steel

With the objective of optimizing the texture components and exploring a method to improve the magnetic properties of used silicon steel, the methods of one inclined rolling and two inclined rolling were applied. The result shows: the new Goss grains were nucleated except at {111} deformed grains, and also formed at the grain boundary between two deformed grains with {113} orientation, and at grains boundaries between {113} and {100} deformed grain. The grain size after one inclined rolling (57 %) was larger and more homogeneous than the grain size after the two inclined rolling. Although with different cold rolling methods (one and two inclined rolling), the resulted annealing textures all had similar features. The difference was the relative intensities between the main texture. A significant feature of one inclined rolling was the intensification of the η-fiber and the Goss texture component and the weakening of γ-fiber. At an inclination angle of 60°, a significantly strong Goss texture was produced, which was highest among all samples, and the maximum volume fraction of {110}+{100} texture can also be obtained. One inclined rolling can better improve the magnetic properties of used silicon steel (B₅₀), and the magnetic induction is between 1.712 T and 1.742 T. The highest magnetic induction of 1.742 T can be obtained by one inclined rolling (at an inclination angle of 60°).
