Claims (26)

1. A non-oriented electric steel sheet comprising:

2.5 wt % to 3.1 wt % of Si, 0.1 wt % to 1.3 wt % of Al, 0.2 wt % to 1.5 wt % of Mn, 0.008 wt % or less of C excluding 0 wt %, 0.005 wt % or less of S excluding 0 wt %, 0.005 wt % or less of N excluding 0 wt %, 0.005 wt % or less of Ti excluding 0 wt %, 0.01 wt % to 0.02 wt % of Mo, 0.001 wt % to 0.07 wt % of P, 0.001 wt % to 0.07 wt % of Sn, and 0.001 wt % to 0.07 wt % of Sb, wherein a remainder includes Fe and inevitable impurities;

wherein an average crystal grain diameter of the non-oriented electric steel sheet is 70 μm to 150 μm,

wherein the non-oriented electric steel sheet satisfies [Equation 1] and [Equation 2],

0.32≤([Al]+[Mn])/[Si]≤0.5  [Equation 1]:

0.025≤[Mo]+[P]+[Sn]+[Sb]≤0.15  [Equation 2]:

wherein [Si], [Al], [Mn], [Mo], [P], [Sn], and [Sb] denote the contents in wt % of Si, Al, Mn, Mo, P, Sn, and Sb, respectively,

wherein W15/50 (punching) of the non-oriented electric steel sheet is 2.01 to 2.07 W/kg;

wherein inner cross section hardness of the non-oriented electric steel sheet is not more than 210 HV, and

wherein the inner cross section hardness means an average value obtained by 10 times repeatedly measuring Vickers hardness (HV 25 gf) of a portion except for a crystal grain boundary and an inclusion in a cross section of a point apart from a cut portion formed by a punching process by 5 mm or more under a load of 25 gf.

2. The non-oriented electric steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the non-oriented electric steel sheet is 0.2 mm to 0.65 mm.

3. The non-oriented electric steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein cross section hardness of a point apart from the cut portion formed by the punching process by a thickness of the non-oriented electric steel sheet is not more than 1.1 times of the inner cross section hardness.

4. A method of manufacturing the non-oriented electric steel sheet of claim 1 , the method comprising:

manufacturing a hot rolled sheet by heating a slab and then by hot rolling the slab;

manufacturing a cold rolled sheet by cold rolling the hot rolled sheet; and

recrystallization annealing the cold rolled sheet for 60 seconds to 150 seconds at 875° C. to 1125° C.,

wherein the slab includes 2.5 wt % to 3.1 wt % of Si, 0.1 wt % to 1.3 wt % of Al, 0.2 wt to 1.5 wt % of Mn, 0.008 wt % or less of C excluding 0 wt %, 0.005 wt % or less of S excluding 0 wt %, 0.005 wt % or less of N excluding 0 wt %, 0.005 wt % or less of Ti excluding 0 wt %, 0.01 wt % to 0.02 wt % of Mo, 0.001 wt % to 0.07 wt % of P, 0.001 wt % to 0.07 wt % of Sn, and 0.001 wt % to 0.07 wt % of Sb, wherein a remainder includes Fe and inevitable impurities;

wherein the slab satisfies [Equation 1] and [Equation 2],

0.32≤([Al]+[Mn])/[Si]≤0.5  [Equation 1]:

0.025≤[Mo]+[P]+[Sn]+[Sb]≤0.15  [Equation 2]:

wherein [Si], [Al], [Mn], [Mo], [P], [Sn], and [Sb] denote the contents in wt % of Si, Al, Mn, Mo, P, Sn, and Sb respectively.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein in the manufacturing of the hot rolled sheet, the heating of the slab is performed at 1100° C. to 1200° C.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein in the manufacturing of the hot rolled sheet, the hot rolling is performed at a finish temperature of 800° C. to 1000° C.

7. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: annealing the hot rolled sheet at 850° C. to 1150° C.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein in the manufacturing of the cold rolled sheet, the cold rolled sheet is cold rolled in a thickness of 0.20 mm to 0.65 mm.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein cross section hardness of a point apart from the cut portion formed by the punching process by a thickness of the non-oriented electric steel sheet is not more than 1.1 times of the inner cross section hardness.
