Abstract

Disclosed herein are a method and a device for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet. In the method for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet, in order to form grooves at a depth of 10% or less of a thickness of the steel sheet in the surface of the steel sheet by irradiating a laser beam, in the case in which laser beams are irradiated from a plurality of laser oscillators to a scan mirror, pass through the scan mirror, and are then irradiated to the surface of the steel sheet, two or more laser beams share one scan mirror with each other to minimize a thermal influence of groove portions at a high line speed of 20 mpm or more, thereby accomplishing iron loss improvement characteristics before (after) heat treatment.

First claim

1 . A method for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet, wherein in order to form grooves at a depth of 10% or less of a thickness of the steel sheet in the surface of the steel sheet by irradiating a laser beam, in the case in which laser beams are irradiated from a plurality of laser oscillators to a scan mirror, pass through the scan mirror, and are then irradiated to the surface of the steel sheet, two or more laser beams share one scan mirror with each other to minimize a thermal influence of groove portions at a high line speed of 20 mpm or more, thereby accomplishing iron loss improvement characteristics before (after) heat treatment.

2 . The method for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein:
the scan mirror has four or more laser beam incident surfaces that two or more laser beams share with each other.

3 . The method for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet of claim 2 , wherein:
the laser beam irradiated to the scan mirror is focused on a focusing mirror and is then irradiated to the surface of the steel sheet.

4 . The method for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet of claim 3 , wherein:
the laser beam irradiated to the scan mirror is incident to two or less shaping mirrors, passes through the two or less shaping mirrors, is focused on the focusing mirror, and is then irradiated to the surface of the steel sheet.

5 . The method for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet of claim 3 , wherein:
in forming linear grooves by one irradiation line in the surface of the steel sheet through irradiation of the laser beam through the scan mirror, two or more to four or less laser beams share one scan mirror with each other.

6 . The method for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet of claim 4 , wherein:
in forming linear grooves by one irradiation line in the surface of the steel sheet through irradiation of the laser beam through the scan mirror, the two or less shaping mirrors and one focusing mirror are used.

7 . A device for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet, wherein in order to accomplish iron loss improvement characteristics before (after) heat treatment by minimizing thermal influence of groove portions at a high line speed of 20 mpm or more at the time of forming grooves at a depth of 10% or less of a thickness of the steel sheet in the surface of the steel sheet by irradiating a laser beam,
laser beams are irradiated from a plurality of laser oscillators, and the device for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet includes a rotation scan mirror that two or more laser beams share with each other.

8 . The device for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet of claim 7 , wherein:
the device for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet includes a focusing mirror focusing the laser beam reflected from the scan mirror and irradiating the focused laser beam to the surface of the steel sheet.

9 . The device for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet of claim 8 , wherein:
the device for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet includes shaping mirrors having the laser beam reflected from the scan mirror and incident thereto and reflecting the incident laser beam to the focusing mirror.

10 . The device for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet of claim 8 , wherein:
the scan mirror is formed in a polyhedral shape having four or more laser beam incident surfaces that two or more laser beams share with each other.

11 . The device for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet of claim 10 , wherein:
in forming linear grooves by one irradiation line in the surface of the steel sheet through irradiation of the laser beam through the scan mirror, two or more to four or less laser beams share one scan mirror with each other.

12 . The device for forming a groove in a surface of a steel sheet of claim 9 , wherein:
in forming linear grooves by one irradiation line in the surface of the steel sheet through irradiation of the laser beam through the scan mirror, two or less shaping mirrors and one focusing mirror are used.
