Abstract

Optimum grain size and effects of crystallographic textures on magnetic properties of Fe-0.65%Si non-oriented electrical steel produced by compact strip production (CSP) process were investigated by optical microscope, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Magnetic induction and core loss show a decreasing trend with the increase of grain size, and grain sizes for optimal magnetic properties are in the range of 26–30 μm. Core loss would be mainly affected by grain size, whereas crystallographic texture would primarily affect magnetic flux density. Magnetic properties increase with increasing of texture factor (volume fraction ratio of {100}/{111}) and magnetic texture factor (volume fraction ratio of <100>/<111>), and increasing with the decrease of A-parameter (minimum angle between magnetization direction and the closest <100> direction) and A(h→), respectively. Simultaneously, with increasing of A-parameter and A(h→), a linear decrease of B50 was obtained.
