Investigation into the Effect of Heating Rates on Recrystallisation Mechanism in Electrical Steels

Abstract: Electrical steels (ES) used in motors and transformers. The major challenge is to optimise the magnetic property of ES to reduce energy waste during service. The crystallographic texture of ES is a key component in governing magnetic performance. Here, an experimental study is proposed to correlate the processing conditions and annealing parameters that affects the texture. In general, heating rate, annealing temperature/time, and cooling rate are the main parameters that can influence the texture. However, the effect of heating rate on the magnetic property is yet to be thoroughly investigated. It is in industrial and academic interests to take this fundamental study further; analysing the effect of heating rate as well as the degree of deformation on the final property of ES. Here, we aim to provide insight into current understanding of recrystallisation and texture evolution in ES.
