First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A grain-oriented electrical steel plate having a surface formed with a groove, wherein the groove is formed in a state that a non-metal oxide layer is coated on the surface of the electrical steel plate, and
the groove is formed with a narrow width and a deep depth as a ratio of the width Wb to the depth Db is 3.4:1 to 1.5:1,
wherein the groove has a curvature radius RBb of 0.2 μm to 100 μm at a position where the depth of the groove is a maximum, and
wherein a curvature radius Rs on the groove surface from the position where the groove depth is a maximum to the quarter-way position of the depth D of the groove is 4 μm to 130 μm.

2. The grain-oriented electrical steel plate of claim 1 ,
wherein the groove is formed with the narrow width and the deep depth with a ratio of the width Wb to the depth Db being 3.2:1 to 2:1.

3. The grain-oriented electrical steel plate of claim 1 , wherein
an inflection point Xb of a tangential portion interconnecting vertical tangential portions of a curvature radius RBb of a position where a depth of the groove bottom is a maximum and a curvature radius RSb on the groove surface from a position where the groove depth is a maximum to a quarter-way position of the groove depth Db is formed below a halfway position (½ Da) of the groove depth.

4. The grain-oriented electrical steel plate of claim 1 ,
wherein the non-metal oxide layer is formed of any one among Mg 2 SiO 4 , MgAl 2 O 4 , MnO, MnO 2 , and Mn 2 SiO 4 , or a combination more than one thereof.

5. The grain-oriented electrical steel plate of claim 4 , wherein the non-metal oxide layer is formed with a 1-20 μm thickness on the surface of the electrical steel plate.

6. The grain-oriented electrical steel plate of claim 4 , wherein recrystallization of a coated steel plate exists under the groove.

7. The grain-oriented electrical steel plate of claim 6 , wherein
a depth Db of the groove is 3% to 8% of the thickness of the electrical steel plate.

8. The grain-oriented electrical steel plate of claim 7 , wherein an upper width Wb of the groove is 10 μm to 50 μm.

9. The grain-oriented electrical steel plate of claim 8 , wherein
the groove is formed to be linear, and the linear groove form an angle of 82° to 98° (excluding 90°) with respect to a rolling direction of the electrical steel plate.

10. A method for manufacturing a grain-oriented electrical steel plate, comprising:
a step of coating an annealing separator on a cold-rolled electrical steel plate after decarburization annealing and forming secondary recrystallization through high temperature annealing to form a non-metal oxide layer on a surface of the electrical steel plate; and
a step of forming a groove on a surface of the electrical steel plate formed with the non-metal oxide layer, wherein the groove is formed with a narrow width and a deep depth so as to have a ratio of the width Wb and the depth Db of 3.4:1 to 1.5:1, and wherein the groove has a curvature radius RBb of 0.2 μm to 100 μm at a position where the depth of the groove is a maximum, and wherein a curvature radius Rs on the groove surface from the position where the groove depth is a maximum to the quarter-way position of the depth D of the groove is 4 μm to 130 μm.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein
the groove formation step forms the groove by using a continuous wave laser that uses a TEM 00 mode having a Gaussian energy distribution, and has M 2 of 1.0-1.1 as abeam quality factor.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein
the continuous wave laser has a wavelength of a 1.06-1.08 μm range, an output of 0.5-5 kW, and an energy density of 0.5-2.0 J/mm 2 .

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the continuous wave laser is a Nd:YAG laser or a fiber laser.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein
the non-metal oxide layer is formed of any one among Mg 2 SiO 4 , MgAl 2 O 4 , MnO, MnO 2 , and Mn 2 SiO 4 , or a combination of more than one thereof.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein
an insulating coating layer is further formed on the non-metal oxide layer.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein
recrystallization of a coated steel plate is further formed under the groove by heat-treating the electrical steel plate formed with the groove.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein
in the step of forming the groove, a laser beam of 10 μm to 30 μm in a width direction of the steel plate and 5 μm to 20 μm in a rolling direction of the steel plate is irradiated to the steel plate to firstly form the groove, and then a laser beam of 35 μm to 80 μm in the width direction of the steel plate and 25 μm to 50 μm in the rolling direction of the steel plate is irradiated on the first groove to further form a secondary groove.

19. A grain-oriented electrical steel plate having a surface formed with a groove, wherein the groove is formed by using a continuous wave laser and in a state that a non-metal oxide layer is coated on the surface of the electrical steel plate, and
