Preparing of Highly-Oriented 100μm-Thick Silicon Steels

Abstract

We propose a new method of preparing highly oriented silicon steel sheets with a thickness of 100 μm. Our new method consists of a three-step rolling process and a two-step intermediate annealing process. The final annealing to form a (110) [001] texture takes advantage of the surface energy. The magnetic induction at 800 A/m, B₈ is about 1.9 T, and the coercive force is less than 4 A/m.
