RESUMO

The processing of 3% Si steel is characterized by the use of MnS particles as a normal grain growth inhibitor. Experiments were carried out to investigate the grain growth in this material during heat treatments at low temperature. Industrial decarburized samples were annealed in the range 825-845 °C and a detailed study of grain size and texture was made by EBSD measurements. The primary grain size and texture were related to the secondary structure obtained after high temperature final annealing. The heat treatments for grain growth led to an increase in the mean grain size by 1.2 to 3 times, depending on the stability of MnS particles distribution. The increase of the primary grain size increased the core loss and decreased the magnetic induction of the fully processed material.
