Interplay between precipitate evolution and abnormal grain growth in electrical steel during high temperature annealing by Xukai Zhang, Jamo Momand, Gert H. ten Brink, Stefan Melzer, Sytze de Graaf, Jan Wormann, Harini Pattabhiraman, Winfried Kranendonk, Bart J. Kooi

“…Scanning/Transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) results show that three types of precipitates are present in the steel: type I - large irregular core-shell (Mn,Cu)S-(Al,Si)N precipitates; type II - medium-size six-sided prismatic AlN-based precipitates ((Al,Si)N-(Mn,Si)N or (Al,Si)N–CuS); type III - small spherical Cu2-xS (0<x < 0.6) precipitates. A novel method (30 kV high angle annular dark field (HAADF) - SEM image stitching in transmission mode) is employed to quantitatively obtain accurate size distribution of type II precipitates between 10 and 100 nm over large areas, and distinct areas with high and low number densities of type II precipitates are observed. …”
