Abstract:
ZEISS multifunctional metallographic microscope, EBSD technology of electron backscatter diffraction and grain size analysis software were used to study the effects of different final rolling temperatures and normalization times on the microstructure and texture of rare earth high-strength non-oriented silicon steel. The results show that after hot rolling, with the increase of the final rolling temperature, the recrystallization rate of hot rolling increases, the width of strip grains and the primary recrystallization grain of the surface layer decreases, and the grain thickness of the transition layer increases. Under the same hot rolling process, the longer the normalization time, the larger the grain size, and there is the abnormal growth of the grain.Under the same normalization time, the influence of different final rolling temperatures on the normalized microstructure is discussed and it is found that the higher the final rolling temperature, the smaller the average grain size of the grain after normalization. Under the same hot rolling process, the longer the normalization time, the larger the recrystallization grain size of annealing, but the effect is small. As the temperature of the final hot rolling increases, the grain after annealing becomes slightly larger. With the increase of the final rolling temperature,the proportion of each texture also increases significantly.After normalization, the texture contents on the favorable te xture 100 and 110 surface increase significantly, and the proportion of texture on the unfavorable texture111 surface reduces.
