An Investigation on Texture-Property Correlation in CRNO Steels

Abstract

Objective of the present study is to find out the textural & Magnetic properties in all angular directions of CRNO steel sheets and correlate between them. CRNO steel sheets of two different silicon percentages (1.4% and 2%) were investigated in the present study. Four different sets of samples were made from the CRNO sheets: (1) samples along rolling direction, (2) samples at 30° to the rolling direction, (3) samples at 60° to the rolling direction and (4) samples at 90° to the rolling direction. Then the textural and magnetic properties were investigated using standard techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) were used for bulk- and micro-texture measurements respectively. While four-probe method was used for electrical resistivity and pulse field hysteresis loop tracer was used for magnetic property measurements. The results showed different texture and magnetic properties in all CRNO samples.
