Recrystallization Process in Low Carbon Rimmed Steel Sheets

Abstract

It was noted in the previcus paper [Tetsu to Hagané, 55 (1969), 1219] that the {111} components in the recrystallization texture of low carbon rimmed steel sheet could be increased by processing (cold rolling and annealing) from the hot-strip with fine precipitates of cementite.
From observations on the isothermal recrystallization process it was presumed that the fine cementite precipitates affected the slip rotation of crystals, resulting in a change in the local distortion, and the nucleation of {110}‹001›-oriented grains in the {111}‹112›-oriented deformed crystals was suppressed so that the preferential growth of the {554}‹225›-or {111}‹110›-oriented grains was induced.
