Abstract

Provided is a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet including a steel sheet having a steel sheet surface in which a groove, which extends in a direction intersecting a rolling direction and of which a groove depth direction matches a sheet thickness direction, is formed. When an average value of a groove depth in a sheet thickness direction at a central portion of the groove in a longitudinal groove direction is set as an average groove depth D, a straight line, which connects a first point at which a groove depth in the sheet thickness direction becomes 0.05×D and a second point at which the groove depth becomes 0.50×D, at an inclined portion of the groove is set as a groove end straight line, an angle made by the steel sheet surface and the groove end straight line is set as a first angle θ, and an average value of a groove-width-direction length, which is a length of a line segment connecting two points at which a groove depth in the sheet thickness direction in a contour of the groove on the groove-width-direction cross-section becomes 0.05×D, is set as an average groove width W, an aspect ratio A obtained by dividing the average groove depth D by the average groove width W, and the first angle θ satisfy the following Expression (1). θ<−21× A +77  (1)

Claims (17)

1. A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, comprising:

a steel sheet having a steel sheet surface in which a groove, which extends in a direction intersecting a rolling direction and of which a groove depth direction matches a sheet thickness direction, is formed,

wherein the groove includes an inclined portion that is inclined from the steel sheet surface to a bottom portion of the groove at a groove end in a longitudinal groove direction that is a direction in which the groove extends,

when an average value of a depth of the groove in the sheet thickness direction from a height of the steel sheet surface at a central portion in the longitudinal groove direction is set as an average groove depth D in a unit of μm, a straight line, which connects a first point at which the depth of the groove in the sheet thickness direction from the height of the steel sheet surface becomes 0.05×D, and a second point at which the depth of the groove in the sheet thickness direction from the height of the steel sheet surface becomes 0.50×D, at the inclined portion is set as a groove end straight line, an angle made by the steel sheet surface and the groove end straight line is set as a first angle θ in a unit of °, and in a case where the groove is seen on a groove-width-direction cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal groove direction at the central portion of the groove, an average value of a groove-width-direction length, which is a length of a line segment connecting two points at which a depth of the groove in the sheet thickness direction from the height of the steel sheet surface in a contour of the groove on the groove-width-direction cross-section becomes 0.05×D, is set as an average groove width W of the groove in a unit of μm, an aspect ratio A obtained by dividing the average groove depth D by the average groove width W, and the first angle θ satisfy the following Expression (1),

θ<−21× A+ 77  (1).

2. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the aspect ratio A and the first angle θ satisfy the following Expression (2),

θ<32× A 2 −55× A+ 73  (2).

3. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein when the average groove depth D is 15 μm to 30 μm, the first angle θ, the average groove depth D, and the average groove width W satisfy the following Expression (3),

θ≤0.12× W− 0.45× D+ 57.39  (3).

4. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein when the average groove width W is 30 μm to 100 μm, the first angle θ, the average groove depth D, and the average groove width W satisfy the following Expression (4),

θ≤−0.37× D+ 0.12× W+ 55.39  (4).

5. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the steel sheet, a grain size of a crystal grain that is in contact with the groove is 5 μm or greater.

6. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein the average groove depth D is 10 μm to 50 μm.
