The effect of initial texture before cold rolling on secondary recrystallization of grain-oriented electrical steel was investigated using thin cast sheets and conventional hot-rolled sheets and conventional hot-rolled sheets as initial materials. The main texture component of the surface layer of thin cast sheets is random, while that of the hot-rolled sheets is [110] <001>. It was found that the optimum cold reduction for achieving a strong [110] <001> texture during secondary recrystallization was 95% and 90% for thin cast sheets and hot-rolled sheets, respectively.
