ABSTRACT:

During electrical steel processing, there are usually small variations in both chemical composition and thickness in the hot-rolled material that may lead to different magnetic properties for the same steel grade. In the present investigation, samples of a specific grade of a commercial hot-rolled grain non-oriented (GNO) electrical steel were taken from different batches to investigare the effects of trhickness and chcmical composition in the hot-rolled material on the final microstructure and magnetic properties resulting from two decarburizing annealing cycles.
