Secondary recrystallization kinetics in GO electrotechnical steels

Abstract GO electrotechnical steel with AlN inhibition particles was used as experimental material. Samples taken out from production process after decarburizing annealing were anisothermic annealed with three different heating rates. Texture measurements as well as determination of residual grains orientation were carried out with the aim of establishing the most suitable heating rate for obtaining the sharpest Goss final texture.
