Abstract

A non-oriented electrical steel sheet according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes at least one of 2.0 to 3.5% of Si, 0.3 to 3.5% of Al, 0.2 to 4.5% of Mn, 0.0030 to 0.2% of Sn, 0.0030 to 0.15% of Sb, 0.0040 to 0.18% of P, 0.0005 to 0.02% of Zn, and 0.0005 to 0.01% of Y for wt %, a remainder of Fe, and inevitable impurities, and satisfying Formula 1: 0.05≤([Sn]+[Sb])/[P]≤25  [Formula 1] (here, [Sn], [Sb], and [P] represent contents (wt %) of Sn, Sb, and P.)

Claims (36)

1. A non-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising:

in wt % 2.0 to 3.5% of Si, 0.3 to 3.5% of Al, 0.2 to 4.5% of Mn, 0.0030 to 0.2% of Sn, 0.0030 to 0.15% of Sb, 0.0040 to 0.18% of P, and at least one of 0.0005 to 0.02% of Zn, and 0.0005 to 0.01% of Y; and a remainder of Fe, and inevitable impurities,

wherein:

the non-oriented electrical steel sheet includes inclusions, and inclusions with a diameter of 0.5 to 1.0 μm occupy 40 vol % or more of the entire inclusions, and

the non-oriented electrical steel sheet satisfies Formula 1:

0.05≤([Sn]+[Sb])/[P]≤25 wherein [Sn], [Sb], and [P] represent contents of Sn, Sb, and P in wt %.  [Formula 1]

2. The non-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein, in wt %, 0.0005 to 0.02% of Zn and 0.0005 to 0.01% of Y are included.

3. The non-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 2 , wherein Formula 2 is satisfied:

[Zn]/[Y]>1 wherein [Zn] and [Y] represent contents of Zn and Y in wt %.  [Formula 2]

4. The non-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 2 , wherein Formula 3 is satisfied:

[Zn]+[Y]≤0.025 wherein [Zn] and [Y] represent contents of Zn and Y in wt %.  [Formula 3]

5. The non-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , further comprising:

in wt %, at least one of equal to or less than 0.0040% of N excluding 0%, equal to or less than 0.0040% of C excluding 0%, equal to or less than 0.0040% of S excluding 0%, equal to or less than 0.0040% of Ti excluding 0%, equal to or less than 0.0040% of Nb excluding 0%, and equal to or less than 0.0040% of V excluding 0%.

6. The non-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein

inclusions with a diameter of 2 μm or less occupy 80 vol % or more of the entire inclusions.

7. The non-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein

the non-oriented electrical steel sheet includes inclusions, and an area of the entire inclusions for an area of the entire non-oriented electrical steel sheet is equal to or less than 0.2%.

8. The non-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein an average crystal grain size is 50 to 95 μm.

9. The non-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the inclusions with a diameter of 0.5 to 1.0 μm occupy 48 vol % or more of the entire inclusions.

10. A method for manufacturing a non-oriented electrical steel sheet, comprising:

manufacturing a slab including, in wt %, 2.0 to 3.5% of Si, 0.3 to 3.5% of Al, 0.2 to 4.5% of Mn, 0.0030 to 0.2% of Sn, 0.0030 to 0.15% of Sb, 0.0040 to 0.18% of P, and at least one of 0.0005 to 0.02% of Zn, and 0.0005 to 0.01% of Y; a remainder of Fe, and inevitable impurities, and satisfying Formula 1;

heating the slab;

manufacturing a hot-rolled steel sheet by hot rolling the slab;

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

finally annealing the cold-rolled steel sheet,

wherein:

after the finally annealing, the non-oriented electrical steel sheet includes inclusions, and inclusions with a diameter of 0.5 to 1.0 μm occupy 40 vol % or more of the entire inclusions, and

the Formula 1 is:

0.05≤([Sn]+[Sb])/[P]≤25 wherein [Sn], [Sb], and [P] represent contents of Sn, Sb, and P in wt %.  [Formula 1]

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the slab includes, in wt %, 0.0005 to 0.02% of Zn and 0.0005 to 0.01% of Y.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the slab satisfies Formula 2:

[Zn]/[Y]>1 wherein [Zn] and [Y] represent contents of Zn and Y in wt %.  [Formula 2]

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the slab satisfies Formula 3:

[Zn]+[Y]≤0.025 wherein [Zn] and [Y] represent contents of Zn and Y in wt %.  [Formula 3]

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein

the slab further includes in wt %, at least one of equal to or less than 0.0040% of N excluding 0%, equal to or less than 0.0040% of C excluding 0%, equal to or less than 0.0040% of S excluding 0%, equal to or less than 0.0040% of Ti excluding 0%, equal to or less than 0.0040% of Nb excluding 0%, and equal to or less than 0.0040% of V excluding 0%.
