Influence of particles on recrystallization textures of ferritic stainless steels

Abstract

Five microalloyed ferritic steels with a Cr content of 10 to 17 % were cold rolled and recrystallized. Steels with a high volume fraction of Nb and Ti precipitations revealed a deviation from the typical {111} fibre texture. The new main component {557}<583> was explained by particle induced growth selection.
