Annealing Texture Evolution of Ti-IF Steel during Batch Annealing

Texture development and recrystallization behavior of Ti-IF steel during Batch Annealing (BA) were investigared with X-ray diffraction and EBSP in lab, and the results were compared with research work on continu ous annealing (CA) with rapid heating rate. The basic tendencies are similar that eary nucleation takes place in <111>ND fibers, <110>RD fibers are consumed at the end of recrystallization, and <111>ND texture dominates over annealing texture. However, the detailed texture transformation during batch annealing is different and somewhat more compicated than tha in rapid-heating process. Moreover, misorientation plays an important role in texture transformation of BA In addition, the results of EBSP are consistent with that of ODF well.
