Manufacturing stable grain-oriented electric steel with fewer procedures remains a challenge due to the formation of detrimental γ-fiber (〈111〉//ND) texture. In this work, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process was employed to obtain a strong λ-fiber (〈100〉//ND) texture in a Fe-3.5wt%Si electrical s...
