Abstract
As a soft magnetic material with excellent performance, silicon steel is widely used in motors and transformers, but its mechanical properties drop sharply when the silicon content is too high. Therefore, it is of great significance to study its influence on mechanisms to improve the product quality of silicon steel. In this paper, Fe-6.5 wt%Si silicon steel was prepared by vacuum tube furnace, combined with a metallographic experiment, and scanning electron microscope analysis to explore the influence of silicon infiltration temperature and time on grain and grain boundary size, and the tensile test of silicon infiltration 120 s at 1200 °C was obtained by the tensile test’s extension parameter. Given the difficulty in adjusting the size and structure of grains and grain boundaries in the test, this paper discusses the influence of different microstructures on the mechanical properties of silicon steel through tensile simulation. The tensile results show that grain refinement helps to improve the strength and elongation of silicon steel, and columnar grains can slightly increase their strength but greatly reduce the strain rate of silicon steel. This method can greatly reduce the research and development time of Fe-6.5 wt%Si silicon steel and can be used to improve the comprehensive performance of silicon steel.
