Abstract

The influence of crystallographic texture on the columnar grain growth in commercial pure iron during directional annealing has been investigated. The crystallographic texture hinders the columnar grain growth due to the high propensity to form low angle or twin boundaries between the columnar grains and the main recrystallized textures at the front of the columnar grains when the columnar grains grow along the direction of the temperature gradient in highly textured materials.
