Abstract

A high-strength non-oriented electrical steel sheet contains: in mass %, C: 0.010% or less; Si: not less than 2.0% nor more than 4.0%; Mn: not less than 0.05% nor more than 0.50%; Al: not less than 0.2% nor more than 3.0%; N: 0.005% or less; S: not less than 0.005% nor more than 0.030%; and Cu: not less than 0.5% nor more than 3.0%, a balance being composed of Fe and inevitable impurities. An expression (1) is established where a Mn content is represented as [Mn] and a S content is represented as [S], and not less than 1.0×10 4 pieces nor more than 1.0×10 6 pieces of sulfide having a circle-equivalent diameter of not less than 0.1 μm nor more than 1.0 μm are contained per 1 mm 2 10≦[Mn]/[S]≦50  (1).

Claims (17)

1. A high-strength non-oriented electrical steel sheet, containing:

in mass %,

C: 0.010% or less;

Si: not less than 2.0% nor more than 4.0%;

Mn: not less than 0.05% nor more than 0.50%;

Al: not less than 0.2% nor more than 3.0%;

N: 0.005% or less;

S: not less than 0.005% nor more than 0.030%; and

Cu: not less than 1.2% nor more than 3.0%,

a balance being composed of Fe and inevitable impurities,

an expression (1) being established where a Mn content is represented as [Mn] and a S content is represented as [S],

not less than 2.5×10 5 pieces nor more than 1.0×10 6 pieces of sulfide having a circle-equivalent diameter of not less than 0.1 μm nor more than 1.0 μm being contained per 1 mm 2 , and

hot rolling having been performed at a finishing temperature of 1000° C. or higher and a coiling temperature of 650° C. or lower,

10≦[Mn]/[S]≦50  (1).

2. The high-strength non-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 , further containing, in mass %, Ni: not less than 0.5% nor more than 3.0%.
