Despite a large number of investigations on the formation of the Goss-texture in Fe-3%Si electrical steels, the exact mechanisms leading to the preference of this particular orientation are not completely understood so far. As an alternative to the standard explanation of a favored growth of Goss-oriented grains during secondary recrystallization, recently the concept of orientation pinning has been proposed, which considers that the growth of grains with special orientation relationships corresponding to low-angle and twin grain boundaries is disfavored. The present paper present preliminary EBSD-results on the growth of Goss-grains during secondary recrystallization in high-permeability (HiB) transformer steel sheets. A semi-quantitative model to simulate the effect of orientation pinning on the evolution of the Goss-texture is introduced.
