Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a so-called grain-oriented electrical steel sheet in which crystal grains are Miller indices and {110} planes are accumulated on the plate surface and <001> orientation is accumulated in the rolling direction. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is a soft magnetic material and is mainly used as an iron core of electrical equipment such as a transformer.

  It is known that grain-oriented electrical steel sheets exhibit excellent magnetic properties by accumulating crystal grains in {110} <001> orientation (hereinafter referred to as Goss orientation) by secondary recrystallization annealing (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

And as an index of magnetic characteristics, magnetic field strength: magnetic flux density B _{8 at} 800 A / m and excitation frequency: iron loss W _17/50 per 1 kg of steel sheet when magnetized to 1.7 T with an alternating magnetic field of 50 Hz. Mainly used.

  One of the means for reducing iron loss performed to improve the magnetic properties of grain-oriented electrical steel sheets is to highly accumulate crystal grains after secondary recrystallization annealing in the Goss orientation. In order to increase the degree, the grain boundary mobility difference is set so that only sharp Goss orientation grains grow preferentially, that is, the texture of the primary recrystallized plate is formed in a predetermined structure, and the inhibitor It is important to suppress the growth of recrystallized grains other than the Goss orientation by using precipitates called.

  As a technique using this inhibitor, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method using AlN and MnS, and Patent Document 2 discloses a method using MnS and MnSe, both of which are industrially used. It has been put into practical use.

  On the other hand, {554} <225> oriented grains, {411] <148> oriented grains, and the like are known as predetermined primary recrystallized structures in which only sharp Goss oriented grains can be preferentially grown. By accumulating these oriented grains in a well balanced and highly integrated manner in the matrix of the primary recrystallized plate, Goss oriented grains can be highly accumulated after the secondary recrystallization annealing (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

In addition, as a means for obtaining a secondary recrystallized plate exhibiting excellent magnetic properties, Patent Document 4 includes rolling at a reduction rate of 85% or more by one cold rolling, or sandwiching intermediate annealing 2 Directional electromagnetic waves that are cold-rolled more than once and rolled with a final cold rolling reduction of 80% or more to form a cold-rolled sheet with the final thickness, followed by primary recrystallization annealing and secondary recrystallization annealing In the method for producing a steel sheet, when the total rolling reduction in the cold rolling is 50% or less, a low strain rate cold rolling with a strain rate of 150 s ⁻¹ or less is applied for one or more passes, thereby cooling by the low strain rate. It is disclosed that a secondary recrystallized sheet exhibiting excellent magnetic properties can be obtained by setting the {001} <110> strength of the steel sheet structure after hot rolling to 10 or less.

  Moreover, in patent document 5, in the manufacturing method of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet which performs cold rolling of 2 times or more sandwiching intermediate annealing, it cools between 750 degreeC and 200-300 degreeC after hot-rolled sheet annealing at 800 degreeC or more. Cool to the stop temperature at a cooling rate of 45 ° C./s or higher, then let cool, and perform the first cold rolling at 1 pass or more with a total rolling reduction of 25 to 50%, and all passes Using a roll having a diameter of 200 mmφ or more, setting the biting temperature to the first roll to 100 ° C. or less, and performing the second cold rolling with 2 passes or more and a total rolling reduction of 80 to 95%, and It is disclosed that a secondary recrystallized plate exhibiting excellent magnetic properties can be obtained by performing inter-pass aging at a temperature of 200 to 300 ° C. in at least one pass.

However, the technique described in Patent Document 4 has a problem of poor productivity because it is manufactured at a low strain rate in the initial cold rolling.
Moreover, in the technique described in Patent Document 5, good magnetic properties cannot be obtained unless the aging between several minutes to several tens of minutes is applied in the second cold rolling, so that the productivity is also improved. There was a problem of being inferior.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described.
First, an experiment that triggered the development of the present invention will be described.
<Experiment 1>
Three types of steels with the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, steel A (C: 0.021 mass%, Si: 3.05 mass%, Mn: 0.064 mass%, sol.Al: 0.018 mass%, N: 0 .006 mass%, S: 0.002 mass%), Steel B (C: 0.040 mass%, Si: 3.36 mass%, Mn: 0.062 mass%, sol.Al: 0.021 mass%, N: 0.006 mass) %, S: 0.002 mass%) and steel C (C: 0.078 mass%, Si: 3.77 mass%, Mn: 0.068 mass%, sol. Al: 0.020 mass%, N: 0.006 mass%, S: 0.002 mass%), and a steel slab is obtained by continuous casting, and then reheated to a temperature of 1400 ° C. and hot-rolled to obtain a plate thickness of 2 After 5mm hot-rolled sheet and subjected to hot-rolled sheet annealing at 1020 ° C x 60s, first cold rolled to an intermediate sheet thickness of 1.8mm, and further subjected to intermediate annealing at 1120 ° C x 80s, The cooling between 800-300 degreeC of annealing was cooled by the average cooling rate: 60 degreeC / s. After that, 4 stands of tandem rolling was started after 18 hours to obtain a cold-rolled sheet having a final thickness of 0.26 mm.

また、最終冷間圧延の総圧下率が５０％以下の段階における臨界ひずみ速度：Ｘ（ｓ^−１）は鋼Ａ、ＢおよびＣで、それぞれ、１７．３（ｓ^−１）、１１．５（ｓ^−１）、６．９（ｓ^−１）であった。 Here, the rolling speed in the first pass carried out at an inlet temperature of 25 ° C. was changed, and samples were produced at various strain rates shown in FIG. Here, the strain rate (ε _m ) during rolling was calculated using the following Ekelund equation.

Moreover, critical strain rate: X (s ⁻¹ ) in steel A, B, and C at the stage where the total rolling reduction of the final cold rolling is 50% or less is 17.3 (s ⁻¹ ), 11.5, respectively. (S ⁻¹ ), 6.9 (s ⁻¹ ).

Subsequently, the cold-rolled sheet was subjected to primary recrystallization annealing with decarburization annealing at 840 ° C. × 100 s in a humid atmosphere of 50 vol% H ₂ -50 vol% N ₂ , dew point: 57 ° C. In addition, the said primary recrystallization annealing set the temperature increase rate between 200-700 degreeC in the temperature increase process to 840 degreeC to 20 degrees C / s.

  After that, after applying an annealing separator mainly composed of MgO to the steel sheet surface, secondary recrystallization annealing is performed at 1200 ° C. for 10 hours, followed by application of a phosphate-based insulation tension coating. Then, flattening annealing for the purpose of baking and flattening of the steel strip was performed to obtain a product, and a test piece under each condition was obtained.

FIG. 1 shows the results of investigating the influence of the strain rate of the first cold rolling first pass on the {411} <148> orientation versus random strength ratio of the thickness center layer of the primary recrystallization annealed plate. Regarding the crystal orientation of the primary recrystallized annealed plate, the thinned sample polished to the thickness center layer was etched with 10% nitric acid for 30 s, and (110), (200), (211) by X-ray Schulz method The surface was measured, ODF (Orientation Distribution Function) analysis was performed from the data, and the intensity of each crystal orientation was calculated. The analysis was performed by the ADC (Arbitrary Defined Cell) method using the Resmat software Texttools. The intensity ratio of the {411} <148> orientation relative to the random intensity was set to (φ ₁ , Φ, φ ₂ ) = (20, 20, 45) in Bunge's Euler angle display.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the condition where the strain rate of the first cold rolling first pass exceeds the critical strain rate: X (s ⁻¹ ), {411} <148 of the thickness center layer of the primary recrystallization annealed plate. > The orientation to random intensity ratio increased.
In the present invention, the plate thickness center layer of the primary recrystallization annealed plate indicates a range of plate thickness of 0.5 t ± 0.1 t, where t is the total plate thickness.

Next, FIG. 2 shows the results of examining the effect of the final cold rolling the first pass on the magnetic flux density B ₈ of the product plate strain rate.
As shown in FIG. 2, the magnetic flux density B ₈ of the product plate was increased under the condition that the strain rate in the first cold rolling first pass exceeded the critical strain rate: X (s ⁻¹ ).
By rolling under the condition that the strain rate of the first pass of the final cold rolling exceeds the critical strain rate: X (s ⁻¹ ), {411} <148> of the center thickness layer of the primary recrystallization annealed plate Although the reason why the azimuth-to-random intensity ratio has increased has not yet been fully clarified, the inventors consider as follows.

As a result of crystal orientation analysis of various samples after one pass of final cold rolling using backscattered electron diffraction (Electron Back Scattering Diffraction Pattern: EBSD), critical strain rate: exceeding X (s ⁻¹ ) In the samples, linear regions having a width of about several hundred nm to several μm, which differed in orientation from the parent phase, were confirmed in various initial grains.
In this region, the continuity of orientation is interrupted when it hits the initial grain boundary, and there is a crystal orientation relationship that forms a large misorientation angle around the <111> axis with the parent phase, and on both sides of the linear region Since the orientation relationship is the same, it can be identified as a deformation twin. Here, it is known that the deformation twins of the BCC crystal structure have an orientation relationship of 60 ° around the <111> axis with the parent phase. However, even after the deformation twins having the above-mentioned crystal orientation relationship are formed in one pass of the final cold rolling, the crystal orientation rotation by rolling further occurs, so in the sample after one pass, as described above The exact twin orientation relationship is not maintained.
Therefore, the deformation twin in the present invention is a width of 100 nm or more and 20 μm or less in the linear region existing in the sample after the final cold rolling 1 pass, and <111> It means a region having an orientation relationship of 40 ° or more around the axis.
In general, in a tensile test, it is known that deformation twins increase as the amount of raw material Si increases.

  In this case, in the electrical steel sheet to which 2.5 mass% or more of Si was added, no deformation twins were formed with the C-free material. This is considered to be because the deformation mode is different between the tensile process and the rolling process. On the other hand, it was confirmed that deformation twins were formed by rolling by increasing the amount of material C. For this reason, the addition of Si suppresses slip deformation as a base, that is, in addition to being in a stress state that induces twin deformation, the addition of C further suppresses the slip deformation, It is presumed that twin deformation was relatively activated. From the above, it is considered that adding Si and C together has the effect of increasing the deformation twins of the steel sheet.

  In addition, the present invention provides an average cooling rate between 800 ° C. and 300 ° C. after annealing immediately before the final cold rolling at 40 ° C./s or more, and then starts the final cold rolling within 72 hours. It has been clarified that the product plate exhibits the effect of increasing the magnetic flux density. Although the reason for this has not been fully clarified yet, the inventors consider as follows.

  Increasing the cooling rate between 800 to 300 ° C. after annealing, and starting the final cold rolling in a short time after that, does not precipitate carbide in the final cold rolled base metal, leaving sufficient solid solution C It means that the final cold rolling is performed in a state of being made to occur. That is, leaving sufficient solid solution C in the final cold-rolled steel sheet induces twin deformation, resulting in an increase in primary recrystallized {411} <148> grains, and the product according to the present invention. We think that the effect of increasing the magnetic flux density of the plate may be demonstrated.

Furthermore, the reason why the induction of twin deformation becomes more conspicuous by increasing the strain rate in the first cold rolling first pass is considered as follows.
Among metal deformations, slip deformation is a thermal activation process, so the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of slip deformation is temperature-dependent, and CRSS may increase as the temperature decreases. Are known. Further, it is known that the CRSS of slip deformation is also dependent on the strain rate, and it is known that the CRSS of slip deformation increases as the strain rate increases. On the other hand, among metal deformations, twin deformation CRSS is known to have extremely low temperature dependence compared to slip deformation CRSS. That is, it is presumed that twin deformation is not a thermal activation process or its influence is extremely small.
Therefore, when the processing temperature is lowered or the strain rate is increased, the CRSS of the slip deformation increases, whereas the CRSS of the twin deformation does not increase or only slightly increases. Since the twin deformation CRSS is lower than the deformation CRSS, twin deformation is likely to occur, and it is presumed that the deformation twin was formed preferentially.

Since the twin plane of the BCC structure is {112} and the Burgers vector is <111>, the twin region formed at the initial stage of cold rolling has a specific crystal orientation, and the latter stage of cold rolling When slip deformation occurs, a crystal orientation different from the conventional one is formed.
In the present invention, it is presumed that the primary recrystallization {411} <148> grains are increased by subjecting the final cold rolled sheet as described above to the primary recrystallization annealing.
As the primary recrystallized {411} <148> grains increase, the deviation angle of the secondary recrystallized Goss orientation grains decreases, and the magnetic flux density of the product plate is increased. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the thickness center layer of the primary recrystallization annealed sheet is obtained by rolling with the strain rate in the first cold rolling first pass exceeding the critical strain rate: X (s ⁻¹ ). It is presumed that the {411} <148> orientation to random strength ratio of No. 4 increased and the magnetic flux density of the product plate was increased.

<Experiment 2>
Next, the influence of the temperature increase rate of primary recrystallization annealing was investigated. C: 0.031 mass%, Si: 3.23 mass%, Mn: 0.077 mass%, sol. It contains Al: 0.026 mass%, N: 0.008 mass%, S: 0.002 mass%, and the remainder is made of a steel having a component composition consisting of Fe and inevitable impurities, and is made into a steel slab by a continuous casting method. Then, after reheating to a temperature of 1240 ° C. and hot rolling to obtain a hot rolled sheet having a thickness of 2.2 mm, the hot rolled sheet is annealed at 1050 ° C. × 30 s, and then 800 to 300 of this hot rolled sheet is annealed. The average cooling rate during cooling between 0 ° C. was 45 ° C./s, and after 70 hours, 4 stands of tandem rolling was started to obtain a cold rolled sheet having a final thickness of 0.26 mm. Each stand entry side temperature was 50 ° C., 60 ° C., 70 ° C., 80 ° C., and each stand exit side plate thickness was 1.2 mm, 0.68 mm, 0.40 mm, and 0.26 mm, respectively. Moreover, the strain rate in each stand was 31.2 s ⁻¹ , 71.9 s ⁻¹ , 156.1 s ⁻¹ and 277.9 s ⁻¹ , respectively. In addition, critical strain rate: X is 13.2 s ^{−1 when} the total rolling reduction of the final cold rolling is 50% or less.
Next, the cold-rolled sheet was subjected to primary recrystallization annealing with decarburization annealing at 820 ° C. × 100 s in a humid atmosphere of 60 vol% H ₂ -40 vol% N ₂ with a dew point of 55 ° C. In the primary recrystallization annealing, various temperature rising rates between 200 and 700 ° C. in the temperature increasing process up to 820 ° C. were examined, and further, a treatment for holding for 5 s at various temperatures during the temperature increasing was also performed. In addition, holding temperature is 100, 250, 400, 600, and 700 degreeC as shown to FIGS.

Further, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, the rate of temperature increase is the average rise in t ₁ , t ₃ , t ₅ excluding the holding time t ₂ , t ₄ from the time from 200 ° C. to 700 ° C. It refers to the temperature rate ((700-200) / (t ₁ + t ₃ + t ₅ )).
After that, after applying an annealing separator mainly composed of MgO to the steel sheet surface, secondary recrystallization annealing is performed at 1200 ° C. for 10 hours, followed by application of a phosphate-based insulation tension coating. Then, flattening annealing for the purpose of baking and flattening of the steel strip was performed to obtain a product, and a test piece under each condition was obtained.

3 to 6 show the results of examining the effect of the temperature increase rate between 200 to 700 ° C. and the holding temperature and holding time during the temperature increase on the primary recrystallization annealing on the iron loss W _17/50 of the product plate. It was.
As shown in FIGS. 3-6, 200-700 in the temperature rising process of the primary recrystallization annealing under the condition that the strain rate of the first cold rolling first pass exceeds the critical strain rate: X (s ⁻¹ ). It can be seen that the iron loss W _17/50 of the product plate is reduced by _{performing the} rapid heat treatment at a temperature of 50 ° _C./s or more. Moreover, while heating between 200-700 degreeC in the temperature rising process of primary recrystallization annealing with the temperature increase rate of 50 degrees C / s or more, it is 1 at any temperature selected from between 250-600 degreeC of temperature rising process. It can be seen that the iron loss W _17/50 of the product plate is further reduced by performing the holding process of holding for 10 seconds.

The result shown in the above _<< Experiment 2 >>, that is, the reason why the iron loss W _17/50 of the product plate is reduced by rapidly heating the temperature _raising process of the primary recrystallization annealing is not yet sufficiently clear. However, the inventors consider as follows.
By raising the temperature to the vicinity of the recrystallization temperature of the steel sheet in a short time, the development of γ fibers (<111> // ND orientation) formed preferentially at a normal heating rate is suppressed. It is presumed that the generation of {110} <001> structure that becomes the core of recrystallization was promoted, and sharp {110} <001> increased. Furthermore, as a result, it is presumed that the crystal grains (Goss-oriented grains) after the secondary recrystallization are refined and the iron loss characteristics of the steel sheet are improved.

In the temperature rising process, increasing the temperature rising rate suppresses the development of the <111> // ND orientation in the recrystallization texture as described above, and the Goss orientation grains ({110 } <001>) is considered to be effective. This is because, in general, in cold rolling, the <111> // ND orientation introduces more strain than other orientations, and the accumulated strain energy is high. In the primary recrystallization annealing that is heated at a speed, recrystallization occurs preferentially from a rolled structure having a <111> // ND orientation in which the accumulated strain energy is high. As a result, in recrystallization, <111> // ND orientation grains usually appear preferentially from a rolled structure with <111> // ND orientation, and the structure after recrystallization has <111> // ND orientation as the main orientation. Become.
On the other hand, by increasing the heating rate, more thermal energy than that released by recrystallization is supplied to the steel sheet, so recrystallization occurs even in the Goss orientation with a relatively low strain energy. Thus, the <111> // ND orientation after recrystallization relatively decreases, and the Goss orientation ({110} <001>) increases. This is because when the Goss orientation is increased, many Goss orientation grains appear in the secondary recrystallization, so that the secondary recrystallization grains become finer and the iron loss is reduced.

The reason why the iron loss is further reduced by applying a retention treatment at an appropriate temperature for an appropriate time in the temperature raising process of the primary recrystallization annealing has not yet been fully clarified. I think so.
In the middle of the temperature increase, when a holding process is performed to hold for a predetermined time at a temperature at which recovery occurs, the <111> // ND orientation with high strain energy recovers preferentially. Therefore, the driving force causing recrystallization of <111> // ND orientation generated from the rolled structure of <111> // ND orientation is selectively reduced, and other orientations cause recrystallization. As a result, the <111> // ND orientation after recrystallization is relatively reduced.
On the other hand, if the holding temperature of the holding process is too high or the holding time exceeds 10 s, recovery occurs in a wide range of the steel sheet, so that the recovery structure remains as it is, and the structure is different from the primary recrystallization structure described above. turn into. As a result, the secondary recrystallization is greatly adversely affected and the iron loss characteristics are deteriorated.

  In addition, the effect of improving the magnetic properties by performing a short-term holding treatment at a temperature at which recovery during the temperature rise occurs can be obtained from the temperature rise rate (10 to 30 ° C./s) using a conventional radiant tube or the like. However, it is limited to a case where the heating rate is high, specifically, the heating rate is 50 ° C./s or more. Therefore, in the present invention, the rate of temperature rise in the temperature range of 200 to 700 ° C. for primary recrystallization annealing is defined as 50 ° C./s or more. In addition, although there is no restriction | limiting in the upper limit of this temperature increase rate, it is about 500 degreeC / s on an installation.

Here, as a demerit when performing the rapid heating as described above during the primary recrystallization annealing, the time spent for the initial oxidation during the temperature increase is shortened, so the subscale structure after the primary recrystallization annealing changes, and the finish It is conceivable that a film defect occurs during annealing and a secondary recrystallization defect occurs, resulting in deterioration of magnetic properties. However, it is considered that by performing the retention treatment during the temperature rise, proper initial oxidation is performed even during rapid heating, preventing deterioration of the film and improving the magnetic characteristics.
And in order to obtain the further magnetic improvement effect by the above-mentioned film improvement, it is preferable to hold at least twice during the temperature rise, once in the temperature range where the recovery occurs at 250 ° C. or more and less than 500 ° C., once again the initial oxidation It is considered preferable that the temperature is maintained in a temperature range of 500 ° C. or higher and 700 ° C. or lower. At least 0.5 s is required for recovery, but it is considered necessary to suppress it to 10 s at the longest. Keeping the holding time to 10 s or less is because there is a possibility that subsequent recrystallized grains will not be generated if recovered too much.

  Further, the holding may be performed a plurality of times, but if the number of holdings is large, it may be recovered too much to stop recrystallization, so that it is desirable to keep it within 4 times. More preferably, even when held at 250 to 500 ° C. a plurality of times, the total holding time is preferably within 10 s from the viewpoint of preventing recrystallization failure.

  Furthermore, it is considered that the retention in the temperature range where the initial oxidation is active is preferably 0.5 s or more. However, this temperature range is also a temperature range where recrystallization of the steel sheet occurs. However, since recrystallization at this point needs to be avoided as much as possible, it is preferably within 3 s. In addition, although holding in this temperature range may be performed a plurality of times, it is desirable to suppress it within two times from the viewpoint of preventing recrystallization failure.

Next, the component composition of the steel material (slab) used for the material of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of the present invention will be described.
C: 0.002 to 0.100 mass%
If C is less than 0.002 mass%, the grain boundary strengthening effect due to C is lost, and cracks occur in the slab, which causes problems in production. Further, the formation of deformation twins, which is a feature of the present invention, is also suppressed. On the other hand, when it exceeds 0.100 mass%, it becomes difficult to reduce C to 0.005 mass% or less at which no magnetic aging occurs by decarburization annealing. Therefore, C is set to a range of 0.002 to 0.100 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 0.010-0.080 mass%.

Si: 2.00 to 4.50 mass%
Si is an element necessary for increasing the specific resistance of a steel sheet and reducing iron loss. When the addition is less than 2.00 mass%, not only these effects cannot be sufficiently exhibited, but also the formation of deformation twins, which is a feature of the present invention, is suppressed. On the other hand, when it exceeds 4.50 mass%, the workability of the steel sheet is lowered, and it becomes difficult to perform rolling. Therefore, Si is set to a range of 2.00 to 4.50 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 2.50-4.50 mass%.

Mn: 0.03-1.00 mass%
Mn is an element necessary for improving the hot workability of steel. If the effect is less than 0.03 mass%, it is not sufficient. On the other hand, if it exceeds 1.00 mass%, the magnetic flux density of the product plate decreases. Therefore, Mn is set to a range of 0.03 to 1.00 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 0.05-0.20 mass%.

Acid-soluble Al (Sol. Al): 0.010 to 0.050 mass%
Sol. Al is an important element in grain-oriented electrical steel sheets because AlN acts as an inhibitor in suppressing the growth of normal grains in the temperature raising process of secondary recrystallization annealing. However, Sol. If the Al content is less than 0.010 mass%, the absolute amount of the inhibitor is insufficient, so that the ability to suppress normal grain growth is insufficient. On the other hand, Sol. If the Al content exceeds 0.050 mass%, AlN is coarsely precipitated, so that the ability to suppress normal grain growth is still insufficient. Therefore, Sol. Al is set to 0.010 mass% or more and 0.050 mass% or less.

N: 0.003-0.020 mass%
N combines with Al to form an inhibitor. However, if the content is less than 0.003 mass%, the absolute amount of the inhibitor is insufficient, and the ability to suppress normal grain growth is insufficient. On the other hand, if the content exceeds 0.020 mass%, voids called blisters are generated during cold rolling, and the appearance of the steel sheet deteriorates. Therefore, N is set to 0.003 mass% or more and 0.020 mass% or less.

S and / or Se: 0.002 to 0.030 mass%
S and Se combine with Mn to form an inhibitor. However, when the content of one or two selected from S and Se is less than 0.002 mass%, the absolute amount of the inhibitor is insufficient, and normal grains Insufficient growth control. On the other hand, if the content of one or two selected from S and Se exceeds 0.030 mass%, since the de-S and de-Se are incomplete in the secondary recrystallization annealing, the iron loss is deteriorated. cause. Therefore, the 1 type or 2 types selected from S and Se were made into the range of 0.002-0.030 mass%, respectively.

In the steel material used for the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of the present invention, the balance other than the above components is Fe and inevitable impurities.
In the present invention, for the purpose of improving magnetic properties, Ni: 0.01-1.50 mass%, Cr: 0.03-0.50 mass%, Cu: 0.03-0.50 mass%, P : 0.005-0.500 mass%, Sb: 0.005-0.500 mass%, Sn: 0.005-0.50 mass%, Bi: 0.005-0.500 mass%, Mo: 0.005-0 100 mass%, B: 0.0002 to 0.0025 mass%, Te: 0.0005 to 0.0100 mass%, Nb: 0.001 to 0.010 mass%, V: 0.001 to 0.010 mass%, and Ta: You may contain suitably 1 type or 2 types chosen from 0.001-0.010mass%.

Next, the manufacturing method of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet of this invention is demonstrated.
A steel material (slab) may be produced by a conventional ingot-bundling rolling method or continuous casting method after melting the steel having the above-described component composition by a conventional refining process, or A thin cast piece having a thickness of 100 mm or less may be manufactured by a direct casting method. The slab is reheated to a temperature of about 1200 to 1400 ° C. and subjected to hot rolling according to a conventional method. In addition, when not containing an inhibitor component, you may use for hot rolling immediately after casting, without reheating a slab. In the case of a thin slab, the hot rolling may be omitted and the process may proceed as it is.

  Next, the hot-rolled sheet obtained by hot rolling is subjected to hot-rolled sheet annealing as necessary. The temperature of this hot rolled sheet annealing is preferably in the range of 800 to 1150 ° C. in order to obtain good magnetic properties. If it is less than 800 degreeC, the band structure formed by hot rolling will remain, it will become difficult to obtain the primary recrystallized structure of a sized grain, and the growth of a secondary recrystallized grain will be inhibited. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 1150 ° C., the grain size after the hot-rolled sheet annealing is excessively coarsened, so that it becomes difficult to obtain a primary recrystallized structure of sized particles.

  The steel sheet after hot-rolling or after hot-rolled sheet annealing is made into a cold-rolled sheet having a final sheet thickness by one or more cold rolling or two or more cold rollings sandwiching intermediate annealing. The annealing temperature of the intermediate annealing is preferably in the range of 900 to 1200 ° C. When the temperature is lower than 900 ° C., the recrystallized grains after the intermediate annealing become finer, and the Goss nuclei in the primary recrystallized structure are reduced to deteriorate the magnetic properties of the product plate. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 1200 ° C., the crystal grains become too coarse as in the hot-rolled sheet annealing, and it becomes difficult to obtain a primary recrystallized structure of the sized grains.

  Furthermore, the present invention sets the average cooling rate at the time of cooling between 800 and 300 ° C. after annealing immediately before the final cold rolling to 40 ° C./s or more, and then starts the final cold rolling within 72 hours. It is an indispensable condition. When the final cold rolling is started after the cooling rate between 800 and 300 ° C. after annealing immediately before the final cold rolling is less than 40 ° C./s and / or after 72 hours, the final cold rolling base material This is because a sufficient amount of dissolved C cannot be secured due to the precipitation of carbides, and the effect of increasing the magnetic flux density of the product plate of the present invention cannot be sufficiently exhibited. In the present invention, the annealing immediately before the final cold rolling refers to after hot-rolled sheet annealing when only one cold rolling is performed, and performs two or more cold rolling sandwiching the intermediate annealing. In the case, it refers to the intermediate annealing immediately before the final cold rolling.

Further, the present invention provides a one-pass reduction at a strain rate equal to or higher than the critical strain rate: X (s ⁻¹ ) calculated from the following equation (1) in a stage where the total rolling reduction of the final cold rolling is 50% or less. It is necessary to perform rolling at a rate of 10% or more at least once.
X (s ⁻¹ ) = f ([% C], [% Si]) · g (T) (1)
F ([% C], [% Si]) = 1 / ([% C] + [% Si] / 150),
g (T) = exp (-100 / T)
Here, [% M] is mass% of the element M in the steel sheet, and T is the rolling stand entry side temperature (K).

  Further, the present invention is characterized in that deformed twins are introduced into recrystallized grains before cold rolling by performing the cold rolling, and the ratio of recrystallized grains introduced with deformed twins is 10%. If it is at least%, the effect of the present invention will remarkably appear. On the other hand, if the deformation twins increase excessively, the risk of fracture occurring during rolling increases, so the ratio of recrystallized grains in which the deformation twins are introduced is preferably 90% or less. The ratio of recrystallized grains introduced with deformation twins is specified as deformation twins by the above-mentioned EBSP orientation analysis among all recrystallized grains before cold rolling in the 1/5 layer region of the plate thickness center. Refers to the ratio of the number of recrystallized grains introduced.

  As described above, the cold rolling (final cold rolling) with the final plate thickness can sufficiently obtain the magnetic improvement effect of the product plate even by tandem rolling (unidirectional rolling). In addition, further improvement in characteristics can be obtained by using a conventionally known warm rolling technique or pass aging technique. In that case, it is preferable to employ reverse rolling rather than tandem rolling (unidirectional rolling).

  The cold-rolled sheet having the final thickness is then subjected to primary recrystallization annealing. The annealing temperature in the primary recrystallization annealing is preferably in the range of 800 to 900 ° C. from the viewpoint of promptly proceeding with the decarburization reaction when serving also as decarburization annealing, and the atmosphere is a humid atmosphere. Is preferred. On the other hand, when using a steel material with C: 0.005 mass% or less that does not require decarburization, the temperature is preferably in the range of 800 to 1000 ° C. In addition, you may perform a primary recrystallization annealing and a decarburization annealing separately.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, a nitriding treatment can be applied as an additional inhibitor treatment at any stage from the primary recrystallization annealing to the secondary recrystallization annealing. This nitriding treatment includes gas nitriding in which heat treatment is performed in an ammonia atmosphere after primary recrystallization annealing, salt bath nitriding in which heat treatment is performed in a salt bath, plasma nitriding, and nitride containing an annealing separator. Any known nitriding technique such as changing the secondary recrystallization annealing atmosphere to a nitriding atmosphere can be applied.

  When the steel sheet subjected to primary recrystallization annealing places importance on iron loss characteristics and transformer noise, an annealing separator mainly composed of MgO is applied to the steel sheet surface, dried, and then subjected to finish annealing. It is preferable to develop a secondary recrystallized structure highly accumulated in the orientation and to form a forsterite film. On the other hand, when emphasizing the punching processability and not forming the forsterite film, it is not necessary to apply an annealing separator or to perform a final annealing using an annealing separator mainly composed of silica, alumina or the like. preferable. In addition, when a forsterite film is not formed, it is also effective to perform electrostatic coating without bringing moisture into the coating of the annealing separator. Further, a heat resistant inorganic material sheet (silica, alumina, mica) may be used in place of the annealing separator.

  As a condition for the finish annealing, when forming a forsterite film, it is maintained at around 800 to 1050 ° C. for 20 hours or more to develop and complete secondary recrystallization, and then the temperature is raised to a temperature of 1100 ° C. or more. In the case where the iron loss characteristic is emphasized and the purification process is performed, it is more preferable to raise the temperature to about 1200 ° C. On the other hand, when the forsterite film is not formed, the secondary recrystallization may be completed, so that the annealing can be completed by raising the temperature to 800 to 1050 ° C.

  In addition, the steel sheet after finish annealing can be iron loss by removing the unreacted annealing separator adhering to the steel sheet surface by water washing, brushing, pickling, etc., and then performing flattening annealing to correct the shape. It is effective in reducing the above. This is because the finish annealing is usually performed in a coil state, so that the coil has wrinkles, and this may cause deterioration of characteristics when measuring iron loss.

  Furthermore, in the case where the steel plates are laminated and used, it is effective to form an insulating film on the steel plate surface in the above-described flattening annealing or before and after that. In particular, in order to reduce iron loss, it is preferable to apply a tension-imparting film that imparts tension to the steel sheet as the insulating film. For the formation of a tension-imparting coating, it is possible to apply a method of applying a tension coating via a binder or a method of depositing an inorganic substance on the surface of a steel sheet by physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition. Since an insulating film having a large loss reducing effect can be formed, it is more preferable.

  Moreover, in order to further reduce the iron loss, it is preferable to perform a magnetic domain fragmentation process. As a processing method, a method of generally forming a groove in the final product plate, introducing a thermal strain or an impact strain in a linear or dotted manner by electron beam irradiation, laser irradiation, plasma irradiation, or the like, A publicly known and publicly-known magnetic domain subdividing method can be used, such as forming a groove by etching a steel sheet that has been cold-rolled to a final thickness or a steel sheet surface in an intermediate process.

Even when rolling was started, the strain rate in the first pass was 5.7, which is equal to or less than the critical strain rate: X (s ⁻¹ ), so that good magnetic properties of the product plate could not be obtained. Regarding symbols 2 and 3, since the critical strain rate or higher was achieved in the first pass, the first pass, and the second pass, respectively, good magnetic properties of the product plate were obtained. Symbols 4 and 5 rolled with a reverse mill set the average cooling rate between 800 to 300 ° C. after annealing immediately before the final cold rolling to 40 ° C./s or more, and then start the final cold rolling within 72 hours. Furthermore, in the first pass, extremely good magnetic properties were obtained in combination with the achievement of cold rolling at a critical strain rate or higher and a rolling reduction rate of 10% or higher in one pass and the effect of aging between passes.

And the average cooling rate between 800-300 ° C. after hot-rolled sheet annealing (immediately before the final cold rolling) is 40 ° C./s or more, and then the final cold rolling is started within 72 hours. It can be seen that good magnetic properties of the product plate can be obtained.
