Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a grain oriented electrical steel sheet including a base metal steel sheet, an intermediate layer and an insulation coating, wherein: the intermediate layer is an oxide film; an average thickness of the oxide film is 2-500 nm; the insulation coating is a phosphate coating; an average thickness of the insulation coating is 0.1-10 μm. When grazing incidence X-ray diffraction is performed on the phosphate coating using a Co-Kα excitation source, the X-ray diffraction pattern has a diffraction peak originating from cristobalite-type aluminum phosphate at a diffraction angle of 2θ=24.8°; a half value width FWHM 0.5 of the diffraction peak under a diffraction condition with an X-ray incident angle ω=0.5° and a half value width FWHM 1.0 of the diffraction peak under a diffraction condition with an X-ray incident angle ω=1.0° satisfy 0.20°≤FWHM 0.5 ≤2.00°, 0.20°≤FWHM 1.0 ≤2.00°, and 0°≤|FWHM 0.5 −FWHM 1.0 |≤1.00°.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising: a base metal steel sheet, an intermediate layer disposed on and in contact with the base metal steel sheet, and an insulation coating disposed on and in contact with the intermediate layer, wherein the intermediate layer is an oxide film satisfying the followings: Si content: 20 to 70 atomic %, O content: 30 to 80 atomic %, Mg content: 20 atomic % or less, P content: 5 atomic % or less, and Fe content: less than 20 atomic %; and the average thickness of the oxide film is 2 to 500 nm; and wherein the insulation coating is a phosphate coating satisfying the followings: P content: 5 to 30 atomic %, Si content: 5 to 30 atomic %, O content: 30 to 80 atomic %, Al content: 0.1 to 10 atomic %, Cr content: less than 1 atomic %, Fe content: less than 25 atomic %, Mg content: 0 to 10 atomic %, Mn content: 0 to 10 atomic %, Ni content: 0 to 10 atomic %, Zn content: 0 to 10 atomic %, V content: 0 to 10 atomic %, W content: 0 to 10 atomic %, Zr content: 0 to 10 atomic %, Co content: 0 to 10 atomic %, and Mo content: 0 to 10 atomic %, and the average thickness of the phosphate coating is between 0.1 μm and 10 μm, and wherein when grazing incidence X-ray diffraction is performed on the phosphate coating using a Co-Kα excitation source, the X-ray diffraction pattern has a diffraction peak originating from cristobalite-type aluminum phosphate at a diffraction angle of 2θ=24.8°, wherein a peak intensity of a diffraction peak appearing at a diffraction angle 2θ=34.3° is 0.50 times or less than a peak intensity of the diffraction peak appearing at the diffraction angle 2θ=24.8° under diffraction conditions where an X-ray incident angle ω=0.5°, and when a half value width of a diffraction peak under a diffraction condition where the X-ray incident angle ω=0.5° is represented as FWHM 0.5 and a half value width of a diffraction peak under the diffraction condition where the X-ray incident angle ω=1.0° is represented as FWHM 1.0 , FWHM 0.5 and FWHM 1.0 satisfy the followings: 0.20°≤FWHM 0.5 ≤2.00°, 0.20°≤FWHM 1.0 ≤2.00°, and 0°≤|FWHM 0.5 −FWHM 1.0 |≤1.00°.
