Method for manufacturing grain-oriented electrical steel sheet having superior magnetic property
Provided is a grain-oriented electric steel sheet and a method for manufacturing same, the steel sheet having superior magnetic properties. The method comprises heating a slab comprising 2.0 to 4.5 weight % of Si, 0.001 to 0.10 weight % of C, 0.010 weight % or lower of Al, 0.08 weight % or lower of Mn, 0.005 weight % or lower of N, 0.002 to 0.050 weight % of S, the remainder being Fe and other unavoidable impurities, performing hot-rolling of the heated slab, performing cold-rolling one time or two or more times including an intermediate annealing, performing decarbonization and re-crystallizing annealing, and performing secondary re-crystallizing annealing.
1. A method for manufacturing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet having excellent magnetic properties, the method comprising:
heating a slab comprising 2.0-4.5 wt % of Si, 0.001-0.10 wt % of C, 0.010 wt % or less of Al, 0.08 wt % or less of Mn, 0.005 wt % or less of N, 0.005-0.050 wt % of S, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities;
hot-rolling the heated slab;
subjecting the hot-rolled steel sheet to one cold rolling or two or more cold rollings with intermediate annealing therebetween;
subjecting the cold-rolled steel sheet to decarburization and recrystallization annealing; and
subjecting the annealed steel sheet to secondary recrystallization annealing,
wherein, the secondary recrystallization annealing is performed by heating the decarburized and recrystallized steel sheet to a temperature of at least 1,000° C. to cause secondary recrystallization of the steel sheet, subjecting the secondarily recrystallized steel sheet to homogenization heat treatment at a temperature of 1,000° C. or higher for within 1 hour (excluding 0 hour), and cooling the homogenization heat-treated steel sheet, and
when subjecting the annealed steel sheet to secondary recrystallization annealing, the secondary recrystallization is caused when at least one of elementary S, which segregates to grain boundaries, and FeS precipitates inhibit grain growth.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slab contains 0.05 wt % or less of Mn.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the density of Al oxides in the thickness-directional cross-section of the secondarily recrystallized steel sheet is 0.1-500/mm 2 .
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet has a coercivity of 30 A/m or less under an alternating magnetic field of 1.7 Tesla at 50 Hz.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hot-rolled sheet is annealed after hot rolling, but before cold rolling.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the density of Al oxides in the thickness-directional cross-section of the secondarily recrystallized steel sheet is 0.1-500/mm 2 .
7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the steel sheet has a coercivity of 30 A/m or less under an alternating magnetic field of 1.7 Tesla at 50 Hz.
8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the hot-rolled sheet is annealed after hot rolling, but before cold rolling.
