Abstract
Abstract The plasticity of high Si steels is improved remarkably by adding Cr in high purity steels. The factors which contribute to this phenomenon were investigated. At the normal level of purity, the plasticity of Fe–Si alloys is deteriorated by Cr addition. However, in high purity steels, the plasticity drastically improves when Cr is added. When the influence of microstructure was removed, the improvement of plasticity by adding Cr to high purity Fe–Si alloys was attributed to the suppression of deformation twinning formation. The microstructural improvement was explained by grain refinement and by formation of subgrains during hot rolling. The properties of these steels are expected to be applied to new functional steels.
