Effect of the grain orientation in the material used for the preparation of an ultrathin electrical steel on its texture and magnetic properties

The effect of initial orientation of samples on the magnetic properties and texture of ultrathin grain-oriented steel strips produced of them has been studied. In a number of cases, the samples with a larger initial deviation from the ideal (110)[001] orientation demonstrate a higher level of magnetic properties (if considering the total set of characteristics) in comparison with the samples with a small initial deviation. For the samples with a larger initial deviation, the final magnitudes of the magnetic induction obtained after the treatment exceed its initial magnitudes. Therefore, for producing an ultrathin grain-oriented electrical steel with high properties, a material with a scattered orientation of grains relative to the ideal (110)[001] orientation can be used.
