Abstract

A predetermined steel containing Te: 0.0005 mass % to 0.0050 mass % is heated to 1320° C. or lower to be subjected to hot rolling, and is subjected to annealing, cold rolling, decarburization annealing, and nitridation annealing, and thereby a decarburized nitrided steel sheet is obtained. Further, an annealing separating agent is applied on the surface of the decarburized nitrided steel sheet and finish annealing is performed, and thereby a glass coating film is formed. The N content of the decarburized nitrided steel sheet is set to 0.0150 mass % to 0.0250 mass % and the relationship of 2×[Te]+[N]≦0.0300 mass % is set to be established. Note that [Te] represents the Te content and [N] represents the N content.

Claims (13)

1. A manufacturing method of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising:

heating a steel containing Si: 2.5 mass % to 4.0 mass %, C: 0.02 mass % to 0.10 mass %, Mn: 0.05 mass % to 0.20 mass %, acid-soluble Al: 0.020 mass % to 0.040 mass %, N: 0.002 mass % to 0.012 mass %, S: 0.001 mass % to 0.010 mass %, and Te: 0.0005 mass % to 0.0050 mass %, and a balance being composed of Fe and inevitable impurities to 1320° C. or lower and performing hot rolling to obtain a hot-rolled steel sheet having a thickness of 1.8 mm to 3.5 mm;

performing annealing of the hot-rolled steel sheet at a temperature of 750° C. to 1200° C. for 30 seconds to 10 minutes to obtain an annealed steel sheet;

performing cold rolling of the annealed steel sheet at a reduction ratio of 80% to 95% to obtain a cold-rolled steel sheet;

performing decarburization annealing at a temperature of 800° C. to 950° C. and nitridation annealing of the cold-rolled steel sheet to obtain a decarburized nitrided steel sheet; and

applying an annealing separating agent on a surface of the decarburized nitrided steel sheet and performing finish annealing of the decarburized nitrided steel sheet to form a glass coating film,

performing purification annealing of a steel sheet on which the finish annealing has been performed at a temperature of 1170° C. or higher for 20 hours or longer, wherein

the N content of the decarburized nitrided steel sheet is set to 0.0150 mass % to 0.0250 mass % and the relationship of 2×[Te]+[N]≦0.0300 mass % is set to be established, and

[Te] represents the Te content of the decarburized nitrided steel sheet, and [N] represents the N content of the decarburized nitrided steel sheet.

2. The manufacturing method of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the steel further contains P: 0.01 mass % to 0.08 mass %, and 0.01 mass % to 0.3 mass % of one type or a plurality of types selected from the group consisting of Sn, Sb, Cr, Ni, B, Mo, and Cu.

3. The manufacturing method of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein a speed of increasing temperature in the decarburization annealing and the nitridation annealing is set to 50° C./s to 300° C./s.
