An experimental study of the microstructural and texture evolution attending recrystallization of Nb-Ti stabilized ferritic stainless steel is presented. Two specimens with different Nb-Ti compositions, TCS345 and B4003, have been selected for comparison. The result shows that, after annealing at 750 °C for 5min, the major orientation in the TCS345 specimen locates at {111}, microstructures presents an equiaxed grain morphology, whereas the texture in the B4003 is not typical recrystallization texture and remains weak, indicating recrystallization occur preferentially to the TCS345 sheet. And after continuous annealing at 850°C for 5 min, the texture in TCS345 remains stronger than in the B4003, indicating that the additional amount of Nb-Ti acts to significantly hinder the recrystallization process.
