Texture recrystallization formation in 08Kh18T1

Effect of heat treatment of semi-finished hot-rolled products before cold rolling and the strain degree on texture formation and the value of a plastic anisotropy coefficient in a cold-rolled sheet of the 08Kh18T1 steel after recrystallization has been investigated. The cold-rolled sheet of the ferritic stainless 08Kh18T1 steel after recrystallization at 950 deg C during 3 min is shown to have texture components like low-carbon steels: (111)(110), (111)(112), (112)(110), (100)(110) and axial component with axis (111). The quantative ratio of ideal oreientations in the steel depends on the degree of cold metal strain and to a larger extent on the structural state of semi-finished rolled products before cold rolling. Titanium addition in a stainless steel with 18% Cr affects formation, being favourable for texture sheet stamping with predominance of grain orientation with plane (111) only then, when titanium binds carbon and nitrogen in heat stable and disperse carbonitrides, which be in a cold-rolled sheet before recrystallization semi-finished hot-rolled products is to be subjected to stabilizing heat treatment before rolling. Increase in metal of orientations with plane (111) affects favourably increase of the plastic anisotropy coefficient of sheet rolling
