Abstract

In order to improve the r-value of ferritic stainless steel, the Nb + Ti stabilized ferritic stainless steel is subjected to two-step cold rolling and annealing treatment. The results show that two-step cold rolling and annealing could improve the uniformity of grain size and increase the fraction of low-angel grain boundaries and coincidence site lattice boundaries, especially ∑3 and ∑13b. The uniform and high density texture of the two-step specimens is associated with the uniform grain size distribution, low-angel grain boundaries and coincidence site lattice boundaries, which will lead to the increase of the average r-value.
