TL;DR: In this article, the development of microstructure and texture was investigated by using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electron backscattered diffraction, and it was shown that the texture evolutions of strip casting grain oriented silicon steel are significantly distinct from those in the conventional processing route.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of annealing after strip casting on the texture development was studied using macro-/micro texture analysis, which was characterized by strong α ( //RD) and weak γ ({111}//ND) fibers.

TL;DR: In this paper, high-grade non-oriented electrical steel was successfully processed by controlling texture using strip casting technology, where remarkable abnormal grain growth of {100} grains occurred in the as-cast strip after isothermal annealing.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of solidified microstructure on the ultimate micro-structure and texture of the as-cast strip was determined by melt superheat, which resulted in fine equiaxed grains with random texture and coarse grains with moderate λ-fiber texture.

TL;DR: In this article, a new method for producing high permeability thin-gauge non-oriented electrical steels with 2.3mm thick Fe-3.2% Si steel as-cast strip was studied.
