Abstract

A silicon steel sheet ( 1 ) containing Si is cold-rolled. Next, a decarburization annealing ( 3 ) of the silicon steel sheet ( 1 ) is performed so as to cause a primary recrystallization. Next, the silicon steel sheet ( 1 ) is coiled so as to obtain a steel sheet coil ( 31 ). Next, an annealing ( 6 ) of the steel sheet coil ( 31 ) is performed through batch processing so as to cause a secondary recrystallization. Next, the steel sheet coil ( 31 ) is uncoiled and flattened. Between the cold-rolling and the obtaining the steel sheet coil ( 31 ), a laser beam is irradiated a plurality of times at predetermined intervals on a surface of the silicon steel sheet ( 1 ) from one end to the other end of the silicon steel sheet ( 1 ) along a sheet width direction ( 2 ). When the secondary recrystallization is caused, grain boundaries passing from a front surface to a rear surface of the silicon steel sheet ( 1 ) along paths of the laser beams are generated.

First claim
