Abstract

The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to the present embodiment is a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet having a base steel sheet ( 1 ), an intermediate layer ( 4 ) disposed to be in contact with the base steel sheet ( 1 ), and an insulation coating ( 3 ) disposed to be in contact with the intermediate layer ( 4 ). The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to the present embodiment includes a surface of the base steel sheet ( 1 ) having a strain region (D) which extends in a direction intersecting a rolling direction of the base steel sheet ( 1 ), and a crystalline phosphorus oxide M 2 P 4 O 13 present in the insulation coating ( 3 ) on the strain region (D) in a cross-sectional view of a surface parallel to the rolling direction and a sheet thickness direction of the base steel sheet ( 1 ). (M means at least one or both of Fe and Cr.)
