Abstract A country's economic growth is related to its energy consumption. Hence, the development of new procedures that can reduce the power losses of grain-oriented electrical steels (GO) could result in more efficient transformers, decreasing the power loss in smart grids. Recently, it has been demonstrated that stress annealing could reduce the power losses of grain oriented electrical steel. However, there was a considerable variation of this stress annealing effect for the samples treated at the same condition. It could infer that another factor could modify the stress annealing effect. One of the hypotheses is related to the crystallographic texture intensity, which varies between the samples. In this work, the stress annealing efficiency will be measured, i.e., power loss variation, and the crystallographic texture intensity of the samples. Thus, the stress annealing condition will be held constant for all the samples (400°C, 40 MPa, and 20 minutes). Furthermore, to explain the power loss variation due to stress annealing, the coercive field and remanence will be evaluated too. | |
