Nonoriented Electrical Steels

Texture Effect on Magnetic Properties by Alloying Specific Elements in Non-grain Oriented Silicon Steels

“…These textures are developed by precise control of composition and/or manufacturing processes, 2) and so magnetic properties of materials are improved by reducing core loss and improving permeability, particularly high magnetic flux density. Agreeably, the magnetic properties are very dependent upon chemistry and process variables 3) which control texture and grain size. In fact, non-oriented electrical steels are aimed to get close state to non-texture, which would guarantee maximum isotropy of magnetic properties.…”

Effect of Heating Rate on the Development of Annealing Texture in Nonoriented Electrical Steels

“…The magnetic properties are mainly dependent on two metallurgical factors: grain size and texture. 1,2) Grain size control has been extensively investigated whereas texture control has received much less attention. Of the various processing steps, the final annealing is the most important since it is the last process to determine the grain size and texture of nonoriented electrical steels.…”

Effect of Cross-Rolling on Microstructure, Texture and Magnetic Properties of Non-Oriented Electrical Steels

“…Non-oriented electrical steels are widely used in electrical generators and motors where the magnetic field is important in all directions [1][2][3] . To achieve adequate magnetic properties in all directions, both grain size and texture have been controlled through different thermo-mechanical processing of these steels [4][5][6][7] .…”
