Abstract

Disclosed are an oriented electrical steel sheet and a manufacturing method thereof. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method of manufacturing an oriented electrical steel sheet, including: providing a slab including Si at 1.0 to 4.0 wt %, C at 0.1 to 0.4 wt %, and the remaining portion including Fe and other inevitably incorporated impurities; reheating the slab; producing a hot rolled steel sheet by hot rolling the slab; performing annealing of the hot rolled steel sheet; cold rolling the annealed hot rolled steel sheet; decarburizing and primary annealing the cold rolled steel sheet; cold rolling the decarburized and annealed steel sheet; and secondary annealing the cold rolled steel sheet.

Claims (28)

1. A method of manufacturing an oriented electrical steel sheet, comprising:

providing a slab including Si at 1.0 to 4.0 wt %, C at 0.1 to 0.4 wt %, and the remaining portion including Fe and other inevitably incorporated impurities;

heating the slab;

producing a hot rolled steel sheet by hot rolling the slab;

performing annealing of the hot rolled steel sheet;

primary cold rolling the annealed hot rolled steel sheet;

decarburizing and primary annealing the primary cold rolled steel sheet;

secondary cold rolling the decarburized and annealed steel sheet; and

secondary annealing the secondary cold rolled steel sheet,

wherein the secondary annealing includes a first step that is performed at an annealing temperature of about 850° C. to about 1000° C. and a dew point temperature of about 70° C. or less, and a second step that is performed at an annealing temperature of about 1000° C. to about 1200° C. and in an atmosphere of about 50 volume % of H 2 ,

wherein the first step is performed for 300 seconds or less, and the second step is performed for about 60 to 300 seconds.

2. The method of manufacturing the oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein

a carbon amount of the electrical steel sheet after the secondary annealing step is about 0.002 wt % or less.

3. The method of manufacturing the oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein

a heating temperature of the slab is in a range of about 1100° C. to about 1350° C.

4. The method of manufacturing the oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 3 , wherein

the slab includes Mn at more than about 0 wt % and about 0.1 wt % or less, and S at more than about 0 wt % and about 0.005 wt % or less.

5. The method of manufacturing the oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein

the secondary annealing is continuously performed after the secondary cold rolling.

6. The method of manufacturing the oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 5 , wherein

the decarburizing and primary annealing of the primary cold rolled steel sheet and the secondary cold rolling of the decarburized and annealed steel sheet are repeated two or more times.

7. The method of manufacturing the oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 6 , wherein a size of a grain of a surface of the decarburized and annealed steel sheet is in a range of about 150 μm to about 250 μm.

8. The method of manufacturing the oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 7 , wherein the decarburizing and primary annealing is performed at an annealing temperature of about 850° C. to about 1000° C. and at a dew point temperature of about 50° C. to about 70° C.

9. The method of manufacturing the oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 7 , wherein the decarburizing and primary annealing is performed in a region where a single phase of austenite or a composite phase of ferrite and austenite exists.

10. The method of manufacturing the oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 9 , wherein

when the decarburizing and primary annealing is performed, amount of carbon removed from the primary cold rolled steel sheet is in a range of about 0.0300 wt % to about 0.0600 wt %.

11. The method of manufacturing the oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 5 , wherein

when the primary cold rolling and the secondary cold rolling are performed, reduction ratios are in a range of about 50% to about 70% each.
