Characteristics of MnS Particles in the Unique Processing of Grain Oriented Silicon Steel from their Cast Slabs

Effect of Annealing Before Cold Forging on the Behavior of Abnormal Grain Growth during Carburizing

“…In grain oriented electrical steel sheets, MnS, MnSe, etc. are dispersed as pinning particles, and the particle size of MnS and MnSe [36][37][38] is several hundreds nm to several thousands nm, which is the same size as the spheroidized cementite observed in this experiment. Therefore, although the spheroidized cementite is coarse in comparison with the nano-precipitate particles such as Nb(C,N), the dissolution of the spheroidized cementite causes a considerable decrease in pinning force, and the possibility that this promotes abnormal grain growth is suggested.…”

The quenching effects of hot band annealing on grain-oriented electrical steel

“…Moreover, the observation of precipitations, the so called inhibitors, has been widely discussed [10][11][12][13]. Although many researchers have investigated the dominant phases such as AlN, MnS on the annealed hot band, little attention has been paid to describe the detailed microstructures on normalizing annealing.…”
