Abstract
The crystallographic textures and magnetic properties of Fe–2.6wt% Si after two different cold rolling and thermal treatment processes were investigated. The first set of samples was 90% cold rolled and annealed for 20min at 600°C, 700°C, 900°C and 1100°C, while the second set was cold rolled for 75% and 60% with intermediate annealing at 600°C for 60min. Samples were analyzed by neutron diffraction and magnetic measurements. By means of the one and two stage cold rolling processes important cube (001)[100] and Goss components {110}〈001〉 were produced. Magnetic properties obtained through the two stage process were better than the properties found with the one stage process due to a higher fraction of the cube and Goss components in the material after the two stage process. An increase of grain sizes does not lead to better magnetic properties.
