Orientation Selection During Static Recrystallization of Cross Rolled Non-Oriented Electrical Steels

Testing Strategies to Evaluate Non-Oriented Electrical Steels Losses

This paper presents an experimental comparative study of iron losses obtained by means of the Epstein frame, Ring Core and dynamometer tests with non-oriented electrical steel samples. The comparisons are qualitative and they are intended to show the importance of carrying out other tests to evaluate electrical steels in addition to the standard Epstein frame method. In industry, complex or cos...

Kinetics of individual grains during recrystallization of cold-rolled copper

The formation of a recrystallization texture is closely related to the nucleation and growth of recrystallizing grains, which may vary from grain to grain. Cube texture is a commonly observed recrystallization texture in face centered cubic metals of medium to high stacking fault energy after heavy cold-rolling and annealing. In this work, recrystallization of pure copper cold-rolled to a von M...

Recrystallization Behavior During Warm Compression of Martensite Steels

Microstructural evolution during recrystallization in hot rolled Aluminum Alloy 1050

The evolution of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for hot-rolled AA1050. Samples prepared from a hot rolled sheet were annealed isothermally for sufficient time to allow complete recrystallization. The spatial orientation variation within the deformed microstructure of nucleation, growth and orientations of recrystallized grains is examined. The microstructural ...

Kinetics of Austenite Recrystallization during the Annealing of Cold-rolled Fe-Mn-Al-C Steel

In the current study, the recrystallization behavior of 75% cold-rolled Fe-22Mn-10Al-1.4C steel during annealing at 750, 770, 790, 810, and 830°C was studied. X-ray diffraction patterns and optical microscopy were used to characterize microstructures. The Vickers Micro-hardness test was used to characterize recrystallization kinetics during annealing. Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) model...
