Challenges of the study on precipitation behaviors of MnS in oriented electrical steels

Abstract

The studies of the thermo-mechanic principles and the kinetic analysis of MnS precipitation behavior in oriented electrical steels conducted in the last dozen years have been summarized. The problems and insufficiency in the fields concerning nucleation theory of MnS precipitation, the relationship between the precipitation and dynamic recrystallization of the matrix as well as the influence of high-energy boundary precipitation on the pinning effect of the boundary migration were discussed. Suggestions were proposed to modify researches concerning the initial position density for MnS nucleation, the mutual interaction between the precipitation and the dynamic recrystallization as well as the kinetic principles of precipitation nucleation on grain boundaries with different boundary energy, which would complete the related theory of MnS precipitation behaviors.
