Abstract

Provided is a manufacturing method of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet including preparing a hot-rolled sheet by hot-rolling a slab; removing some of scales formed on the hot-rolled sheet and leaving a scale layer having a thickness of 10 nm or more to prepare a hot-rolled sheet on which the scale layer remains; preparing a cold-rolled sheet by cold-rolling the hot-rolled sheet on which the scale layer remains; preparing the decarburization annealed cold-rolled sheet by decarburization annealing the cold-rolled sheet; coating an annealing separator on the decarburization annealed cold-rolled sheet to form a metal oxide layer; and final annealing the steel sheet on which the metal oxide layer is formed, wherein the annealing separator includes magnesium oxide (MgO) or magnesium hydroxide (MgOH) and fluoride.

Claims (15)

1. A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising:

a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet substrate;

a scale layer positioned on the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet substrate, the scale layer having a thickness of 5 to 100 nm; and

a metal oxide layer positioned on the scale layer,

wherein the metal oxide layer includes a forsterite compound, and

F content of the metal oxide layer is 0.1 to 3 wt %.

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

the metal oxide layer includes a first phase including a forsterite compound and second phase consisting of Si, and

the first phase is included in more than 5 area % and less than 95 area % with respect to 100 area % of the metal oxide layer, and the second phase is included in more than 3 area % and less than 20 area % with respect to 100 area % of the metal oxide layer.

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

an insulation coating layer positioned on the metal oxide layer.

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

the metal oxide layer includes magnesium oxide (MgO) of 1.0 wt % or less.

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

the scale layer includes Si of 1 to 80 wt % and O of 1 to 80 wt %, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities.
