Abstract

A non-oriented electrical steel sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises, by weight %, 1.5 to 4.0% of Si, 0.7 to 2.5% of Al, 1 to 2% of Mn, 0.003 to 0.02% of Cu, at most 0.005% of S (not 0%), and the remainder comprising Fe and unavoidable impurities, and satisfies formulas 1 and 2 below. 150≤[Mn]/[Cu]≤250  [Formula 1] 3≤[Cu]/[S]≤7  [Formula 2] (here, [Mn], [Cu], and [S] represent Mn, Cu, and S contents (weight %), respectively.)

(here, [Mn], [Cu], and [S] represent Mn, Cu, and S contents (weight %), respectively.)

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

at most 0.005 weight % of each of at least one of C and N.

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

at most 0.004 weight % of each of at least one of Nb, Ti, and V.

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

at least one of at most 0.02% of P, at most 0.002% of B, at most 0.005% of Mg, and at most 0.005% of Zr.

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