Abstract: A nonoriented silicon steel was heavily rolled to 95% reduction and subsequently annealed at 710~1050℃ to investigate recrystallization texture evolution. When annealed at 710℃ 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℃, 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℃, 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°.
