Abstract: Effect of heating rate on microstructure, texture and magnetic properties of 0.8%Si non-oriented silicon steel during bell annealing process was studied. The results show that after annealing with different heating rates, the recrystallized texture of the non-oriented silicon steel is mainly {111} texture, accompanied by {110} and {100} texture. With the increase of heating rate, the grain size gradually increases, the {111} texture appears to be significantly weakened, the {110} texture appears to increase significantly, and the {100} texture does not change significantly, meanwhile, the iron loss P1.5/50 gradually decreases, and the magnetic induction intensity B5000 gradually increases. However, when the heating rate is increased from 80 ℃/h to 100 ℃/h, the {111} texture appears to be strengthened to a certain extent, the {110} texture appears to weaken, and the {100} texture does not change obviously, moreover, the iron loss P1.5/50 increases and the magnetic induction intensity B5000decreases. When the heating rate of bell annealing process is 80 ℃/h, the optimum magnetic properties can be obtained as P1.5/50=4.249 W/kg, B5000=1.715 T.
