Abstract

A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising a steel sheet having a surface on which grooves, in which an extending direction crosses a rolling direction and a depth direction is parallel to a sheet thickness direction, are formed, and wherein a molten solidified substance ranging in parallel to the groove exists on both sides of the groove on the surface of the steel sheet, and a height becoming a maximum frequency in a height distribution of height data in which the surface of the steel sheet in a specific area including the groove is measured at regular intervals is set as a virtual plane, and a value of V2/V1 is more than 0.10 and less than 0.80, wherein V1 is a space volume of recess parts recessed from the virtual plane and V2 is a volume of projection parts projected from the virtual plane.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising
a steel sheet having a surface on which grooves in which an extending direction crosses a rolling direction and a depth direction is parallel to a sheet thickness direction are formed,
wherein a molten solidified substance ranging in parallel to the groove exists on both sides of the groove on the surface of the steel sheet,
wherein a height becoming a maximum frequency in a height distribution of height data in which the surface of the steel sheet in a specific area including the groove is measured at regular intervals is set as a virtual plane, and when a space volume of recess parts recessed from the virtual plane is set as V1 and a volume of projection parts projected from the virtual plane is set as V2, a value of V2/V1 is more than 0.10 and less than 0.80,
wherein a plurality of projections are formed in the specific area, and among the plurality of projections, a width of a projection closest to the groove is larger than widths of the other projections, and
wherein when an area where an average height in the extending direction is highest in the height distribution is seen in a groove longitudinal cross section including the extending direction and the sheet thickness direction,
an average roughness Ra of a roughness curve forming a surface of the area is 0.30 to 2.00 μm, and
an average length RSm of a roughness curve element forming the surface of the area is 10 to 150 μm.

2. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein a height becoming a 0.02% th in the height data is higher than 1 μm and not higher than 10 μm.

3. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein when a surface shape of the steel sheet around the groove is seen in a groove short side cross section perpendicular to a groove extending direction,
among the projection parts, a distance L s between an end portion T 1s of the projection closest to the groove and an end portion m of the groove is more than “0” (zero) μm and not more than 40 μm.

4. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein among the plurality of projections, a width W 1 of a projection closest to the groove is 40 μm or less.

5. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein when among the plurality of projections, W 1 represents a width of the projection closest to the groove and W n represents a width of a projection close to an n-th, n being an integer of 2 or more, a value of W n /W 1 is more than 0.20 and less than 1.00.

6. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein a number of crystal grains existing at a bottom of a highest projection in a cross section perpendicular to the groove extending direction is 10.0 pieces or less on average.

7. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein regarding a crystal orientation of metal structure of a projection in an area where an average height in the extending direction is highest in the height distribution, an area ratio of a {110}<001> orientation is 65% or more.

8. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 comprising a glass film on the surface of the steel sheet including a surface of the projection parts and a surface of the grooves.
