Secondary Recrystallization Behavior in 3% Si Grain Oriented Steels

Abstract

The effects of primary recrystallization on secondary recrystallization in grain oriented 3% Si steels were experimentally clarified and unidentified microstructural behavior in the incubation stage of secondary recrystallization was verified. A secondary recrystallization mechanism from the incubation period to the growth stage is suggested by identifying microstructural changes based on grain orientation, texture, and misorientation.
