A quasi in-situ EBSD study of the nucleation and growth of Goss grains during primary and secondary recrystallization of a strip-cast Fe-6.5 wt% Si alloy

The nucleation and growth of Goss grains during primary and secondary recrystallization of a strip-cast grain-oriented Fe-6.5 wt% Si alloy were investigated using a quasi in-situ electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. During primary recrystallization at 700 °C, the Goss was found to nucleate from two locations in the deformed<111>//ND (normal direction) grains: in the shear bands and at the grain boundaries. However, only those...
