Abstract:
The present invention, in a method to produce a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, proposes conditions for stable production by clarifying the causes by which secondary recrystallization is rendered unstable when primary recrystallization is controlled by raising the heating rate of decarburization annealing. The primary recrystallization structure is controlled by changing the heating rate and the oxide layer of a steel sheet is controlled by changing the conditions of soaking annealing in the decarburization annealing. The composition of the (Al, Si)N inhibitor is also controlled in the nitriding treatment thereafter.

Abstract:
In a grain oriented electrical steel sheet used for cores of transformers and generators, a high alignment degree of grain orientations reduces iron loss, by precipitating very fine AlN or/and BN and providing strong inhibiting effect against the growth of the primary recrystallized grains, providing radically improved texture and grain structure in the steel.
