Abstract

A non-oriented electrical steel sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention includes, in wt %, C at 0.005% or less (excluding 0%), Si at 0.5 to 2.4%, Mn at 0.4 to 1.0%, S at 0.005% or less (excluding 0%), Al at 0.01% or less (excluding 0%), N at 0.005% or less (excluding 0%), Ti at 0.005% or less (excluding 0%), Cu at 0.001 to 0.02%, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities, and satisfies Formula 1 below, wherein a volume fraction of grains in which an angle formed by a {111} surface and a rolling surface of the steel sheet is 15° or less is 27% or more. [Mn]/([Si]+150×[Al])≤0.35  [Formula 1] (In Formula 1, [Mn], [Si], and [Al] are contents (wt %) of Mn, Si, and Al, respectively.)

Claims (29)

1. A non-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising, in wt %, C at 0.005% or less (excluding 0%), Si at 0.5 to 2.4%, Mn at 0.4 to 1.0%, S at 0.005% or less (excluding 0%), Al at 0.01% or less (excluding 0%), N at 0.005% or less (excluding 0%), Ti at 0.005% or less (excluding 0%), Cu at 0.001 to 0.02%, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities,

wherein

a volume fraction of grains in which an angle formed by a {111} surface and a rolling surface of the steel sheet is 15° or less is 27% or more,

wherein 0.9≤(Vcube+Vgoss+Vr-cube)/Intensitymax≤2.5 is satisfied,

wherein Vcube, Vgoss, and Vr-cube are vol % of a texture of a cube, a goss, and a rotated cube, respectively, and Intensitymax represents a maximum intensity value on an ODF (orientation distribution function) image (Φ2=45 degree section).

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

a volume fraction of grains in which an angle formed by a {111} surface and a rolling surface of the steel sheet is 15° or less is 27% to 32%.

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

a concentration layer including a Si oxide exists in a depth range of 0.15 μm or less from a surface.

4. The non-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 3 , wherein

the concentration layer includes Si at 3 wt % or more, O at 5 wt % or more, and Al at 0.5 wt % or less.

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

sulfides are included, and a product (F count ×F area ) of a number ratio (F count ) of first sulfides having a diameter of 0.05 μm or more among second sulfides having a diameter of 0.5 μm or less and an area ratio (F area ) of first sulfides among second sulfides having a diameter of 0.5 μm or less is 0.15 or more.

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

sulfides are included, and a number ratio (F count ) of first sulfides having a diameter of 0.05 μm or more among second sulfides having a diameter of 0.5 μm or less is 0.2 or more.

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

an area ratio (F area ) of first sulfides having a diameter of 0.05 μm or more among second sulfides having a diameter of 0.5 μm or less is 0.5 or more.

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

YP/TS≥0.7 is satisfied, and

wherein YP stands for a yield strength and TS stands for a tensile strength.

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

an area ratio of fine grains having a diameter that is 0.3 times or less of an average grain diameter is 0.4% or less, and an area ratio of coarse grains having a diameter that is two or more times of the average grain diameter is 40% or less.

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

the average grain diameter is 50 to 100 μm.

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

the non-oriented electrical steel sheet satisfies Formula 1 below:

[Mn]/([Si]+150×[Al])≤0.35  [Formula 1]

wherein in Formula 1, [Mn], [Si], and [Al] are contents, wt %, of Mn, Si, and Al, respectively.

12. The non-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , comprising Cu at 0.001 to 0.016 wt %.
