The significant distribution of {411 } < 148 > texture exists during the preparation of thin-gauge grain-oriented silicon steels, which has effect on the abnormal growth of Goss grains during the secondary recrystallization.The change of micro-structure in the manufacture of thin-gauge grain-oriented silicon steel was investigated by XRD and EBSD technique.The results shows that, { 411 } < 148 > texture mainly exists in the center layer of hot rolled plates.As the cold rolling reduction increase, {411 }<148 > orientation rotated to α fiber texture and its proportion gradually reduced.Finally, {411}< 148 > orientation retained near the boundaries of deformed α fiber grain in at 90% cold rolling reduction.Moreover, a few { 411 } < 148 > orientation can also be found in the inner of deformed { 112 } < 110> grain.After annealing treatment, a small number of γ fiber texture preferred nucleating and recrystallizing between the deformed bands.The { 411 } < 148 > recrystallization texture occurs in the late stage of recrystallization, mainly nucleating in boundary of the deformed α fiber orientation and quite a few {411 }<148 > orientation nucleates in the inner of {111 } < 112 > grains, which cannot be observed in the {100} <011 >.The {411} < 148 > recrystallization texture formed after annealing mainly depends on the strong α texture and weak γ texture that formed in high cold rolling, in other words, { 411 } < 148 > orientation genetic of hot rolled plates was not strong.
