Electrical steel sheet and method of manufacturing the same
An insulating coating film obtained by mixing 0.5 parts by mass to 10 parts by mass of a copolymer of a fluoroolefin and an ethylenically unsaturated compound when converted into a solid content with 100 parts by mass in solid content of a mixture composed of a metal phosphate and a specific organic resin or a mixture composed of colloidal silica and a specific organic resin is designed to be provided on a surface of an electrical steel sheet, and in this manner, it is possible to obtain an electrical steel sheet having good corrosion resistance under a wet environment and having good properties related to the insulating coating film such as a space factor and adhesiveness.
1. An electrical steel sheet having a surface thereof coated with an insulating coating film obtained by mixing:
100 parts by mass of a mixture comprising 100 parts by mass of a metal phosphate and 1 part by mass to 50 parts by mass of an organic resin made of a mixture or copolymer of one type or two or more types selected from the group consisting of an acryl-based resin, an epoxy-based resin, and a polyester-based resin that have an average particle size of 0.05 μm to 0.50 μm, and
1 part by mass to 6 parts by mass of a copolymer consisting of a fluoroolefin and an ethylenically unsaturated compound as a solid content,
wherein the ethylenically unsaturated compound has a functional group which is not a fluoro group or is not a functional group having fluorine atoms,
wherein the copolymer of the fluoroolefin and the ethylenically unsaturated compound has a particle size of 0.05 μm to 0.50 μm,
wherein the ethylenically unsaturated compound is obtained by introducing the functional group into a monomer selected from styrene, vinyl acetate, polypropylene glycol acrylate, methoxy polyethylene methacrylate, vinyl alkyl ether, vinyl alkylene ether, isoprene, or acrylonitrile, or into an oligomer or low-molecular weight polymer obtained from styrene, vinyl acetate, polypropylene glycol acrylate, methoxy polyethylene methacrylate, vinyl alkyl ether, vinyl alkylene ether, isoprene, or acrylonitrile,
wherein the functional group is one or more selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, a hydroxyl substituted alkylene group, a phenyl group, a benzyl group, a cyclic aliphatic group, an acetyl group, a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group, an epoxy group, and an amino group,
wherein the fluoroolefin is one or more selected from the group consisting of a tetrafluoroethylene, a trifluoroethylene, a hexafluoropropylene, a vinylidene fluoride, a vinyl fluoride, and a trichlorofluoroethylene,
wherein the copolymer of the fluoroolefin and the ethylenically unsaturated compound is dispersed in the insulating coating film, and the dispersed copolymer is concentrated in the vicinity of a surface layer of the insulating coating film, and
wherein the metal phosphate is one or more phosphates selected from the group consisting of Li, Al, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ti, Ni, Mn and Co phosphates.
