Abstract

A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet includes a plurality of linear deformable portions formed on a surface of the electrical steel sheet in a rolling direction, wherein an interval between the deformable portions changes to correspond to a grain size of grains over the entire length of the steel sheet, and at least two regions in which intervals between the deformable portions are different exist.

Claims (31)

1. A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising:

a plurality of linear deformable portions formed on a surface of the electrical steel sheet in a rolling direction,

wherein an interval between the deformable portions changes depending on a grain size of grains over an entire length of the steel sheet such that the interval is wider when the grain size is smaller and the interval is narrower when the grain size is larger, and

at least two regions in which intervals between the deformable portions are different exist,

wherein a grain size (x, mm) of grains and an interval (y, mm) between the deformable portions satisfy Equation 1 below:

y− 2≤8.943−0.45 x+ 0.011 x 2≤ y+ 2.  [Equation 1]

2. The electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein:

the steel sheet is divided into sections in a width direction of the steel sheet, and intervals between the deformable portions are formed to be different in each section according to a grain size of grains included in each section.

3. The electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein:

the steel sheet is divided into sections in a rolling direction of the steel sheet, and intervals between the deformable portions are different in each section according to a grain size of grains included in each section.

4. The electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein:

the linear deformable portion includes a temporary magnetic domain deformable portion, a permanent magnetic domain deformable portion, or a combination thereof.

5. The electrical steel sheet of claim 4 , wherein:

the linear deformable portion includes a permanent magnetic domain deformable portion, and a depth of the permanent magnetic domain portion is 3 to 30 μm.

6. A method for refining a magnetic domain of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

measuring a grain size of grains of a steel sheet; and

forming a linear deformable portion by determining an interval based on the measured grain size value of the grain,

wherein a deformable portion is formed so that at least two regions in which intervals between the deformable portions are different exist.

7. The method for claim 6 , wherein:

the steel sheet is divided into sections in a width direction of the steel sheet, and intervals between the deformable portions are different in each section according to average grain sizes of the grains included in each section.

8. The method for claim 6 , wherein:

the steel sheet is divided into sections in a rolling direction of the steel sheet, and intervals between the deformable portions are different in each section according to average grain sizes of the grains included in each section.

9. The method for claim 6 , wherein:

a grain size (x, mm) of grains and an interval (y, mm) between the deformable portions satisfy Equation 1 below:

y− 2≤8.943−0.45 x+ 0.011 x 2≤ y+ 2.  [Equation 1]

10. The method for claim 8 , wherein:

applying magnetism to a surface of the steel sheet to magnetize the steel sheet, detecting leakage magnetic flux formed by a grain boundary, and calculating the detected leakage magnetic flux to measure a grain size.

11. The method for claim 8 , wherein:

the forming of the linear deformable portion includes irradiating the steel sheet with one or more of a laser, an electron beam, or plasma; performing etching using an acid; or causing particles to collide with each other.

12. The method for claim 11 , wherein:

The forming of the linear deformable portion includes irradiating the steel sheet with a laser to form a temporary magnetic domain deformable portion.
