An investigation of the differences in deformation and recrystallization behavior of conventional and high permeability silicon steel with special reference to the formation of

The processing of the new breed of high permeability silicon steels is characterized by a final cold reduction which is appreciably higher than that of the conventional product. This severe cold reduction leads to the formation of "transition bands," i.e., areas of extreme lattice curvature and of highest stored energy. Subgrains or areas with
