Effect of tensile deformation rate on texture formation during subsequent rolling and recrystallization of electric steel

The paper deals with the study of the dependence of the number of the main components of the primary recrystallization texture on the deformation rate during uniaxial tension (with contraction) carried out before the cold rolling of an electric steel (bcc soft magnetic alloy Fe-3 wt % Si) stripe up to its final thickness. It is found that the maximum increase in the volume shares of the auspicious components {111}??112??, {112}??351??, and {113}??361?? in the primary recrystallization texture occurs during tension with a minimal deformation rate in the range of 0.00015?C1.10 s^?1.
