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. An average depth D of the groove is greater than 10 μm and equal to or less than 40 μm in a case where the groove is seen on a groove-width-direction cross-section that is perpendicular to a groove extension direction, when a center of the groove in the groove width direction is defined as a groove width center, a deepest portion of the groove deviates from the groove width center toward one side in the groove width direction, and a cross-sectional shape of the groove is asymmetric with respect to the groove width center as a reference in the groove width direction.

Claims (15)

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 an average depth D of the groove is greater than 10 μm and equal to or less than 40 μm,

in a case where the groove is seen on a groove-width-direction cross-section that is perpendicular to a groove extension direction, when a center of the groove in the groove width direction is defined as a groove width center, a deepest portion of the groove deviates from the groove width center toward one side in the groove width direction, and a cross-sectional shape of the groove is asymmetric with respect to the groove width center as a reference in the groove width direction,

in a case where the groove is seen on the groove-width-direction cross-section, the groove includes a first groove surface and a second groove surface as a pair of inclined surfaces which are inclined toward the deepest portion of the groove from the steel sheet surface, and the groove width center is located on a second groove surface side when seen from the deepest portion, and

when an angle, which is made by a first groove end straight line obtained through linear approximation of the first groove surface and the sheet thickness direction, is defined as a first angle θ 1 , and an angle, which is made by a second groove end straight line obtained through linear approximation of the second groove surface and the sheet thickness direction, is defined as a second angle θ 2 , the first angle θ 1 and the second angle θ 2 satisfy following Conditional Expressions (1) to (3),

0°<θ1≤50°  (1)

θ1<θ2≤75°  (2)

θ2−θ1≥10°  (3).

2. 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.

3. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 2 ,

wherein when the groove is seen on the groove-width-direction cross-section, a grain size of a crystal grain, which exists on a lower side of the groove in the steel sheet in the sheet thickness direction, is equal to or greater than 5 μm and equal to or less than the sheet thickness of the steel sheet.

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

wherein when the groove is seen on a longitudinal groove cross-section including the groove extension direction and the sheet thickness direction, an arithmetic average height Ra of a roughness curve, which constitutes a contour of a groove bottom region of the groove, is 1 μm to 3 μm, and an average length RSm of a roughness curve element, which constitutes the contour of the groove bottom region, is 10 μm to 150 μm.
