Abstract

Provided is an oriented electrical steel sheet including a groove existing on the surface of the electrical steel sheet and a forsterite layer formed on a part or all of the surface of the electrical steel sheet, in which forsterite which is extended from the forsterite layer and penetrates to a base steel sheet in an anchor form is present on the surface of the side of the groove.
