This study investigated the effect of the initial solidified structure on the ridging phenomenon and the texture in type 430 ferritic stainless steel sheets that have α+γ two-phases at high temperature. The initial solidified structure with equiaxed or columnar grains was used and the effect of annealing of hot-rolled sheet on the texture formation during cold rolling and annealing was investigated. The effect of the initial solidified structure on the ridging phenomenon differed depending on annealing of hot-rolled sheet. With annealing of hot-rolled sheet, the columnar grain specimen exhibited severer ridging than the equiaxed grain specimen. On the other hand, without annealing of hot-rolled sheet, there was no effect of the initial solidified structure, and both specimens showed slight ridging. The columnar grain specimen with {001}‹uv0› initial texture had strong {001}‹110› texture after hot rolling and annealing, and the grain colonies with {001}‹110› and {112}‹110› orientations were identified after cold rolling and annealing. However, without annealing of hot-rolled sheet, the equiaxed and columnar grain specimens showed roughly random textures. In the case without annealing of hot-rolled sheet, the deformation zone forming around the hard α′ phase during cold rolling was effective for no influence of the initial solidified structure and the microstructure before cold rolling.
