Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention provides a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, including: a linear groove formed in a direction crossing a rolling direction on one surface or both surfaces of an electrical steel sheet; and a linear thermal shock portion formed in the direction crossing the rolling direction on one surface or both surfaces of the electrical steel sheet. The groove is formed in plural along the rolling direction, a distance D 2 between the groove and the thermal shock portion is 0.2 to 0.5 times a distance D 1 between the grooves, and a distance D 3 between the thermal shock portions is 0.2 to 3.0 times the distance D 1 between the grooves.

Claims (24)

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

a linear groove formed in a direction crossing a rolling direction on one surface or both surfaces of an electrical steel sheet;

a linear thermal shock portion formed in the direction crossing the rolling direction on one surface or both surfaces of the electrical steel sheet; and

the groove and the thermal shock portion are substantially parallel,

wherein the groove and the thermal shock portion are formed in plural along the rolling direction,

at least one distance D 2 between nearest two of the groove and the thermal shock portion is 0.22 to 0.3 times a distance D 1 between the grooves,

the thermal shock portion has a difference in Vickers hardness (HV) of 10 to 120 from a surface of the steel sheet in which the thermal shock portion is not formed,

a solidified alloy layer formed at a lower portion of the groove is included, and the solidified alloy layer has a thickness of 0.1 μm to 3 μm, and

at least one distance D 3 between nearest two of the thermal shock portions is 0.2 to 0.4 times the distance D 1 between the grooves.

2 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein

the distance D 1 between the grooves is 2 mm to 15 mm.

3 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein

the groove and the thermal shock portion are formed on one surface of the steel sheet.

4 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein

the groove is formed on one surface of the steel sheet, and the thermal shock portion is formed on the other surface of the steel sheet.

5 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein

a depth of the groove is 3 to 5% of a thickness of the steel sheet.

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

a length direction and the rolling direction of the groove and the thermal shock portion form an angle of 75 to 88°.

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

the groove and the thermal shock portion are intermittently formed at 2 to 10 along a rolling vertical direction of the steel sheet.

8 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet further comprises an insulation coating layer formed at an upper portion of the groove.

9 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet has an iron loss amelioration rate from 3.6 to 8.5 calculated as (W 1 −W 2 )/W 1 by measuring iron loss W 1 of the electric steel sheet after the groove was formed by irradiating the laser and iron loss W 2 of the electric steel sheet after the thermal shock portion is formed by the irradiating the laser.

10 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet has a magnetic flux density deterioration rate of 0 calculated as (B 1 −B 2 )/B 1 by measuring a magnetic flux density B 1 of the electric steel sheet after the groove was formed by irradiating the laser and a magnetic flux density B 2 of the electric steel sheet after the thermal shock portion was formed by irradiating the laser.
