Effect of chemical compositon and processes on the texture of hot-rolled deep drawing steel sheet

A hot-rolled deep drawing (HDD) steel with high r-value and uniform distribution of {111} texture in thickness was developed by hot rolling in ferrite region with lubricating between the roller and the steel. The experimental results show that the carbon content and finish rolling temperature have significant effects on beneficial texture {111}, and lubricating during hot rolling at low temperature in α-region makes the distribution of the texture uniform. Three basic requirements needed to meet for HDD steel were concluded by comparing different carbon contents and hot rolling processes.
