Abstract

The microstructure, texture and magnetic properties of 4.5wt.% Si electrical steel fabricated by the processes of twin-roll casting, warm-rolling and final annealing were systematically investigated with the aim of introducing a remarkable and promising electrical steel with extensive potential applications. The results show that unusually sharp {411} texture is obtained in addition to common Cube, rotated Cube, Goss and {111} orientation after final annealing. Excellent magnetic inductions of 1.518T (B8) and 1.703T (B50), and iron losses of 24.92W/kg (W10/400) and 24.47W/kg (W5/1000) have been achieved.
