| Abstract Scope |
The origin of the pronounced Goss texture formed in Fe-3 % Si grain oriented electrical steels is a problem long under debate. The presentation reviews and discusses some of recent findings on this texture component, considering aspects such as grain-boundary related growth advantages, grain-size related growth advantages, the role of through-process texture inheritance, particle pinning-related differences in growth, and the role of chemical partitioning between several types of lattice defects. A set of tools is used for this purpose, including XRD, 2D EBSD, 3D EBSD, ECCI, TEM, EDX and APT. |
