Abstract: A non-oriented silicon steel was heavily rolled to 95% reduction and subsequently annealed at 710~1050°C to investigate recrystallization texture evolution. When annealed at 710°C with complete recrystallization, the texture is characterized by a strong partial γ fiber spreading from {111}<112> to {111}<134> and a weak {114}<481> component. As annealing at 900°C, γ fiber is decreased significantly while {114}<481> is increased consistently, producing a typical {h, 1, 1}<1/h, 1, 2> fiber. After annealing at 1050°C, the texture does not change significantly. Based on EBSD analysis, the strengthened {114}<481> component can be ascribed to the significant size advantage and higher frequency of high-energy grain boundary with misorientation angle located at 20°~45°.
