Abstract: The cold rolling texture distribution along thickness of asymmetrically rolled non-grain oriented (NGO) silicon steel sheet is studied. It is revealed that the cold rolling texture is composed of strong incomplete α(<110>//RD) fiber and relatively weak complete γ fiber (<111>//ND) no matter what rolling schedule is taken on, but asymmetric rolling affects greatly the textural strength and its distribution along thickness. Asymmetric rolling has a greater effect on textural strength of surface and middle layers than on the quarter layer, and it reduces both α and γ fibers with decreasing {111}<110> component, but the {111}<112> component increases somewhat. Thus, the application of asymmetric rolling to cold rolling process can provide a new approach to control and optimize the texture of high-grade NGO silicon steel sheet.
