Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a method of producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet by subjecting a coil for grain-oriented electrical steel sheet after cold rolling to a primary recrystallization annealing, applying an annealing separator thereon, and conducting final annealing, rapid heating is conducted at a rate of not less than 80° C./sec from 500° C. to 700° C. in the course of heating for the primary recrystallization annealing, and a temperature keeping treatment is conducted for 2 to 100 hours from 700° C. to 1000° C. in the course of heating for the final annealing, and further, the final annealing is preferably conducted by laying a thermal insulation material on an upper surface of a coil supporting stand in an annealing furnace used for the final annealing concentrically from the outer periphery of the coil supporting stand and over an area of not less than 20% of the radius of the coil supporting stand.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet having forsterite film by subjecting a coil for grain-oriented electrical steel sheet after cold rolling to a primary recrystallization annealing, applying an annealing separation agent composed mainly of MgO thereon, and conducting final annealing, wherein for the primary recrystallization annealing rapid heating is conducted at a rate of not less than 80° C./sec from 500° C. to 700° C., and for the final annealing a temperature keeping treatment is conducted for 2 to 100 hours by maintaining a constant keeping temperature from 700° C. to 1000° C. and subsequently the temperature is raised up to 1180° C. or more and then kept at a constant temperature, and wherein the shape defect rate is 2.8% or less. 2. The method of producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the final annealing is conducted by laying a thermal insulation material on an upper surface of a coil supporting stand in an annealing furnace used for the final annealing concentrically from the outer periphery of the coil supporting stand and over an area of 20-80% of the radius of the coil supporting stand. 3. The method of producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the rapid heating in the primary recrystallization annealing is conducted by another heat treatment preceding the primary recrystallization annealing. 4. The method of producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the rapid heating in the primary recrystallization annealing is conducted by another heat treatment preceding the primary recrystallization annealing.
