Abstract

A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a forsterite layer formed on the surface of an electrical steel sheet; a groove which is formed on the forsterite layer in a direction perpendicular to a rolling direction; and a forsterite calcination layer which is formed in the direction of both ends of the electrical steel sheet on the basis of an upper end of the groove and has a width of 1.1 to 1.3 times the width of the groove.

First claim

1 . A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, comprising:
a forsterite layer formed on the surface of an electrical steel sheet;
a groove which is formed on the forsterite layer in a direction perpendicular to a rolling direction; and
a forsterite calcination layer which is formed in the direction of both ends of the electrical steel sheet on the basis of an upper end of the groove and has a width of 1.1 to 1.3 times the width of the groove.

2 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein
a hill-up, which is an elevation of melt generated during a formation of the groove and accumulated on both sides of the groove on an upper portion of the forsterite calcination layer, or the spatter, which is generated by scattering melt, is formed to 1.5 μm or less from a surface of the forsterite calcination layer.

3 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein
the groove is formed to a depth of 2.5 to 10% with respect to a thickness of the electrical steel sheet.

4 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein
the groove is formed at an angle of ±90 to ±85 ° with respect to the rolling direction of the electrical steel sheet and formed in a linear shape.

5 . The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of any of claims 1 to 4 , wherein
the hill-up, which is an elevation of melt generated during formation of lo the groove and accumulated on both sides of the groove on the upper portion of the forsterite calcination layer, or the spatter, which is generated by scattering melt, is removed by brushing or pickling.

6 . A method for manufacturing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, comprising steps of:
heating a slab including 1.5 to 7 wt % of Si and other unavoidable impurities, with the remainder being Fe, and hot rolling the slab to prepare a hot rolled steel sheet; cold rolling the hot rolled steel sheet to prepare a cold rolled steel sheet, and then subjecting the cold rolled steel sheet to decarburization annealing and/or nitriding annealing to form an oxide layer on the surface of steel sheet; applying an annealing separator including MgO on the surface of the steel sheet on which the oxide layer is formed and performing hot annealing to form a forsterite layer (forsterite; Mg 2 SiO 4 ) on the surface of the steel sheet; and emitting a continuous-wave laser of Gaussian mode onto the steel sheet formed with the forsterite layer to form a groove on the surface of a steel sheet, wherein, in the step of forming the groove, the beam shape of the continuous-wave laser satisfies the range of Formula 1 below, and the retention time T d of the continuous wave laser satisfies the range of Formula 2 below.
1.3≤ L b /L a ≤7.0   1)

0.5≤T d ≤10.0   2)

(where, L a is the length of the laser beam in the rolling direction, L b is the widthwise length of the laser beam, T d is a ratio (W/V s ) of the scanning rate (V s ) of the laser beam scanned in the width direction to the widthwise emission width (W) emitted to the steel sheet width).

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein
the step of forming the groove comprises a step of emitting a continuous-wave laser of Gaussian mode to form a forsterite calcination layer in the direction of both ends of the electric steel sheet on the basis of the upper end of the groove, by a width of 1.1 to 1.3 times the width of the groove.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein
the step of forming the groove comprises a step of forming the groove to a depth of 2.5 to 10% with respect to the thickness of the electrical steel sheet.

9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein
the step of forming the groove comprises a step of forming the groove to an angle of ±90 to ±85° with respect to the rolling direction of the electrical steel sheet, and in a linear shape.

10 . The method of any of claims 6 to 9 , wherein
the step of forming the groove further comprises steps of: forming a hill-up, which is an elevation of melt generated during a formation of the groove and accumulated on both sides of the groove, or the spatter, which is generated by scattering melt, on an upper portion of the forsterite calcination layer; and
removing the hill-up or the spatter on the surface of the forsterite calcination layer to 1.5 μm or less.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein
the step of removing the hill-up or the spatter comprises a step of dry-removing using brush.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein
the brush is a metal-based material or abrasive material.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein
the step of removing the hill-up or the spatter further comprises a step of wet-removing using pickling.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein
the pickling is carried out using an aqueous solution including hydrochloric acid, nitric acid or sulfuric acid.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein
a concentration of the aqueous solution is 1 to 30 wt %.
