| In this work, we report on the effects of high static magnetic field on the formation of desirable crystallographic orientation of grains ("rotating" cube) during the primary recrystallization of non-oriented steels. Vacuum degassed non-oriented steel with the silicon content about 1 wt% was taken from industrial line after final cold rolling with 80% of deformation and then it was subjected to the laboratory annealing at temperature of primary recrystallization. Whole annealing process was carried with and without the applied external magnetic field of 14 T. The analysis of crystallographic orientation of experimental material was studied by electron backscattered diffraction technique. The microstructural and textural observations have shown a small difference in average grain size between samples annealed with and without magnetic field as well as increase of the "rotating" Cube component and decrease of the intensity of deformation texture by application of magnetic field. The magnetic measurements show that the coercivity value of the sample annealed in the magnetic field of 14 T can be reduced by approximately 3% in comparison with sample annealed under the zero field conditions. |
