Magnetic anisotropies and textures in high-alloyed non-oriented electrical steels

Abstract

Effects of alloy addition on magnetic anisotropies in non-grain oriented electrical steels were investigated. Tin and antimony improved magnetic induction and iron loss but increased anisotropy of magnetic induction and lessened anisotropy of iron less. Texture effect was evaluated as texture factor expressing as a rate of sum of volume fractions of cube and Goss textures to volume fraction of y fiber texture. Magnetic anisotropy of iron loss is inversely proportional to texture factor and magnetic induction were turned out proportional to texture factor. © 2007 ISIJ.
