Effects of Strong Magnetic Field on Recrystallization and Coarsensing of Grains During Annealing in 3% Silicon Steel.

Abstract

Effects of a strong magnetic field on recrystallization and coarsening of grains after primary recrystallization were studied in non-oriented 3% silicon steels. The strongest applied magnetic field strength was 10 tesla. It was found that primary recrystallization process is retarded by applying a strong magnetic field, and this retardation effect is affected by degree of cold rolling. Coarsening of grains after primary recrystallization was found to be retarded by applying a magnetic field during annealing.
