Abstract

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a manufacturing method of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, includes: preparing a slab; heating the slab; forming a hot-rolled sheet by hot-rolling the slab; performing hot-rolled sheet annealing on the hot-rolled sheet; forming a cold-rolled sheet by cold-rolling the hot-rolled sheet that has been completely subjected to the hot-rolled sheet annealing; performing first recrystallization annealing on the cold-rolled sheet; and performing second recrystallization annealing on the cold-rolled sheet that has been completely subjected to the first recrystallization annealing, wherein the hot-rolled sheet undergoes a first heating step, a second heating step, and a soaking step, and a temperature rise rate t 1 of the first heating step and a temperature rise rate t 2 of the second heating step satisfy Formula 1. 5× t 2 ≤t 1   [Formula 1]

Claims (19)

1. A manufacturing method of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, the method comprising:

preparing a slab;

heating the slab;

forming a hot-rolled sheet by hot-rolling the slab;

performing hot-rolled sheet annealing on the hot-rolled sheet;

forming a cold-rolled sheet by cold-rolling the hot-rolled sheet that has been completely subjected to the hot-rolled sheet annealing;

performing first recrystallization annealing on the cold-rolled sheet; and

performing second recrystallization annealing on the cold-rolled sheet that has been completely subjected to the first recrystallization annealing, wherein the hot-rolled sheet undergoes a first heating step, a second heating step, and a soaking step, and a temperature rise rate t 1 of the first heating step and a temperature rise rate t 2 of the second heating step satisfy Formula 1,

wherein the first heating step is a step of heating the hot-rolled sheet from 750 to 850° C., and the second heating step is a step of heating the hot-rolled sheet that has been completely subjected to the first heating step to a soaking temperature of the soaking step,

wherein the soaking step includes a first soaking step and a second soaking step, and a soaking temperature of the first soaking step is in a range of 850° C. to 1150° C.,

wherein a soaking temperature of the second soaking step is in a range of 850° C. to 950° C.,

wherein a number of crystal grains having a diameter of 5 mm or less in the steel sheet is 10/5×5 cm 2 or less after the performing of the second recrystallization annealing:

5× t 2 ≤t 1 .  [Formula 1]

2. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature rise rate t 1 is in a range of 5 to 45° C./s.

3. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein

the slab includes Si (2.0 to 6.0 wt %), Al (0.05 wt % or less excluding 0 wt %), Mn (0.20 wt % or less excluding 0 wt %), P (0.08 wt % or less excluding 0 wt %), C (0.1 wt % or less excluding 0 wt %), N (0.01 wt % or less excluding 0 wt %), and S (0.01 wt % or less excluding 0 wt %), and a remainder includes Fe and other inevitable impurities.

4. The manufacturing method of claim 3 , wherein the slab further includes 0.003 to 0.10 wt % of at least one element of Sb, Sn, Cr, Ni, Y, Ba, B, La, Mo, and Ce.

5. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the hot-rolled sheet that has been completely subjected to the hot-rolled sheet annealing has Vickers hardness of 250 Hv or less after the performing of the hot-rolled sheet annealing.

6. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the hot-rolled sheet has a strain hardening exponent of 0.2 or more after the performing of the hot-rolled sheet annealing.
