A series of Fe3Si grain oriented electric steel samples are investigated as a function of grain size and the level of perfection of the dominating Goss texture. Characterization of morphology, crystallographic texture and magnetic properties is performed by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, neutron diffraction and magnetic Barkhausen noise methods. The experiments are conducted on the ``as fabricated'' specimens and then on the specimen sheets with the protective coating removed. Juxtaposition of the obtained results provides information about the complex links between the texture, microstructure, and the resulting magnetic properties of the specimens observed at different excitation conditions.
