Also, from each product, EI
The cores for cores were punched out, subjected to strain relief annealing, and then EI cores were produced by stacking, copper wire winding, etc., and the iron loss characteristics of these EI cores were also investigated. The results of these investigations are summarized in Table 4.

On the other hand, a slab (steel code I) having a composition that complies with the present invention and containing a small amount of Nb and a small Al content is used as a material, and the slab heating temperature is 1200 ° C. or less and the hot rolling end temperature is : Products manufactured at 950 ° C or lower (800 ° C or higher) and hot-rolled sheet annealing temperature: 900 ° C (marked as good in the remarks column in Table 4) have large iron loss in high magnetic fields, but low magnetic fields The core loss is low and therefore the value of W 10/50 / W 17/50 is also small, and the core loss as an EI core is also very good. The characteristic of the crystal structure of these products is that the crystal grain size is smaller than that of the conventional manufacturing method, and it is understood that the number ratio of fine grains of less than 4 mm, particularly less than 1 mm is large.

As a result of conducting experiments and studies on this point,
It was found that it is necessary to set the number ratio of crystal grains having a grain size of less than 1 mm to 25% or more. However, the excessive presence of such fine particles significantly deteriorates the magnetic properties and W 10/50
It also became clear that it deteriorates the value of. By the way, using a steel (steel symbol I) compatible with the invention of Table 4 as a material, the hot rolling end temperature is too low or too high,
Alternatively, for products manufactured under conditions where the hot-rolled sheet annealing temperature is too high, the number ratio of fine crystal grains with a grain size of less than 1 mm is 98%.
W 10/50 and W 10/50 / W 17/50

The AlN precipitation method which has been conventionally performed is as follows.
As disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 46-23820, by making AlN into a solid solution state in hot-rolled sheet annealing, re-precipitating in the cooling process of hot-rolled sheet annealing, and controlling the cooling rate at that time. This is a method to control the precipitation size of AlN. On the other hand, the AlN precipitation method that has obtained good results in this experiment is a novel method of keeping AlN in a solid solution state until hot rolling and precipitating AlN in the temperature rising process of hot-rolled sheet annealing. .

In such a method, in order to finely precipitate AlN, the solubility product of AlN is lowered, so that the Al content is made smaller than the conventional suitable value, the precipitation temperature of AlN is lowered, and hot rolling is performed. Prevents precipitation during the process, sets the hot rolling finish temperature to 800 ° C or more, and sets the hot-rolled coil winding temperature.
It is necessary to suppress the precipitation of AlN in the hot rolling process at 670 ° C or lower. The need to keep the coil winding temperature low is to suppress the supersaturated AlN 3 that precipitates when the coiling temperature is high.

Further, as the hot-rolled sheet annealing, the conventional high-temperature annealing such as the temperature of 1150 ° C. which aims at the solid solution of AlN is extremely harmful, and in addition, the fine particles precipitated during the temperature rising process are added. In order to suppress the Ostwald growth of AlN as well, the annealing temperature was 950 ° C or less, which is extremely low, which was completely unsuitable in the past.

The second innovative technique is to improve the primary recrystallization structure to obtain a suitable secondary recrystallization. It has been conventionally known that it is advantageous that the size of the primary recrystallized grains that are eroded by the silkworm is uniform and small in order to rapidly grow the secondary recrystallized grains. Further, as a cause of increasing the size of primary recrystallized grains and a cause of increasing non-uniformity, coarsening of crystal grains of steel material in a stage before hot rolling or cold rolling is also a cause. It is well known. However, before hot rolling, high temperature slab heating is inevitable for solid solution of the inhibitor, and of course, the crystal grain size of the steel material before hot rolling increases. Therefore, the primary recrystallized grain size naturally increases when the inhibitor grain growth suppressing force is weak, and for example, JP-A-6-172861 (a thick unidirectional electrical steel sheet having excellent magnetic properties). Production method), the primary recrystallized grain size becomes as coarse as 18 to 35 μm.

From this point of view, the conditions for obtaining the good iron loss characteristics in the low magnetic field in the above experiment are indicated by the slab heating temperature as low as around 1200 ° C. and the annealing condition of the hot rolled sheet as low as around 900 ° C. As described above, these are the best conditions for suppressing the growth of crystal grains of the steel material before hot rolling or cold rolling to obtain the finer and more uniform primary recrystallization structure. It can be said to be a technical technology.

Further, from the viewpoint of not coarsening the crystal grains of the steel material before hot rolling, it is more effective that the cast structure of the steel is fine. For example, the molten metal during casting is subjected to electromagnetic stirring treatment to form a columnar shape. The method of suppressing the growth of crystals has a great effect. A method of directly rolling the slab without heating it is also preferable from this viewpoint.

On the other hand, in the case of a product made of a slab (steel code XI) conforming to the present invention with a slight amount of B added, the rate of temperature rise during hot-rolled sheet annealing is in the range of 5 to 25 ° C./s. In that case, excellent iron loss in a low magnetic field and excellent iron loss in the EI core were obtained. When the rate of temperature rise is out of the above range, the number ratio of fine crystal grains having a grain size of less than 1 mm increases to more than 98%, and iron loss in a low magnetic field is poor. Therefore, the conditions for obtaining good low magnetic field characteristics are:
It is necessary that the number ratio of crystal grains having a grain size of less than 1 mm is within a certain range.

As a result of investigating the cause of obtaining such a result, it was found that there is a large difference in the distribution of precipitated AlN after the temperature rise of the hot rolled sheet annealing. That is, as for the precipitated AlN immediately after the temperature rising of the hot-rolled sheet annealing under the conditions (including the material) that provided good magnetic properties and crystal grain distribution, extremely fine particles of 1.0 to 5.0 nm existed at high density. On the other hand, for those made of the steel symbol V and those with a high heating rate of 28 ° C / s, Al
The amount of N precipitation is insufficient, and the heating rate is 2.5 ° C / s or 3.
For the slower 7 ° C / s, the precipitated AlN was coarser at 5.0 to 20 nm. It is considered that such a difference in the precipitation state of the inhibitor affects the secondary recrystallization and changes the crystal structure of the product.

Therefore, it is important to control the heating rate in order to control the precipitation of AlN in a fine and high-density state during the heating process of hot-rolled sheet annealing. If this rate is too slow, the AlN precipitates coarsely. On the contrary, if the speed is too fast, the precipitation amount of AlN will be insufficient.

For controlling the precipitation of AlN, not only the control of the heating rate but also the trace components in the raw steel and the hot rolling temperature are important. That is, it was found that the presence of Ti, Nb, B and Sb increases AlN precipitation nuclei. Of these, for Ti, Nb and B, extremely fine precipitates are formed during hot finish rolling, and AlN precipitates during the temperature rise process of hot-rolled sheet annealing using these as nuclei for precipitation. , Sb segregates at the grain boundaries to suppress coarse precipitation of AlN at the grain boundaries and increase the substantial concentration of solid solution Al and solid solution N in the crystal grains to increase the frequency of formation of precipitation nuclei of AlN. I understood that.

Generally, the aging treatment in the warm rolling or rolling process has a function of changing the rolling deformation texture of the crystal, and becomes a nucleus of secondary recrystallization in the primary recrystallization structure after rolling recrystallization (110). ) It is known to increase the production density of crystal grains in the [001] orientation.

However, as shown in this experimental result, the aging treatment between the passes by the reverse rolling was not effective, but the rolling by the tandem rolling mill was effective. Considering the difference between the two, the strain rate during rolling is relatively small in the inter-pass aging treatment by reverse rolling, and there is sufficient time between rolling passes, which inevitably occurs due to the heat generated due to processing strain during that time. On the other hand, static aging occurs due to the diffusion phenomenon of C to dislocations, whereas in tandem rolling, the strain rate during rolling is relatively high, and the time between rolling passes is extremely short, so static aging does not easily occur. During the pass, dislocations are proliferated and at the same time, dynamic strain aging occurs due to diffusion of C into dislocations.

As shown in Table 8, the crystal grain size distributions are all within the proper range of the present invention, but the iron loss characteristics in a low magnetic field clearly show the contents of Al, Ti and B in the coating film. The higher the content, the better the iron loss characteristics. The contents of Al, Ti and B in the coating film vary depending on the contents of these in the annealing separator and the conditions of the final finish annealing atmosphere.

As described above, the reason why the iron loss in a low magnetic field is improved by increasing the amount of these components in the coating film is that such components are present in the form of nitride or oxide, and the coating film as a whole is probably present. It is thought that this is due to the fact that the coefficient of thermal expansion is decreased and, as a result, the tension effect is improved.

That is, by containing H 2 having a strong reducing property in the atmosphere, the decomposition of the nitride in the steel can be promoted and the Al content in the film can be increased. At the same time, the film formation can be performed in the reducing atmosphere. It can promote and increase the amount of Ti and B in the coating. Incidentally, Al does not need to be particularly added to the annealing separator, since Al migrates from the steel, the final finish annealing atmosphere is controlled as in the present invention to promote the migration of Al into the coating, and It is only necessary to suppress the Al that migrates into the unreacted annealing separator.

Further, it was also found that the components contained in the steel have important functions in the cooling process of final finishing performed in an N 2 atmosphere, baking annealing and strain relief annealing of the insulating coating. That is, there is an advantage that the adverse effects of nitriding of steel due to annealing in an N 2 atmosphere can be suppressed by Ti, B and Sb existing in the steel. Ti and B are concentrated at the coating interface in contact with the base iron to form BN and TiN, which suppresses the penetration of N into the steel (base iron) and enhances the coating strength. Sb is concentrated at the interface between the coating and the base iron. Has the effect of suppressing nitriding.

Therefore, it is necessary to contain Al: 0.5 to 15%, Ti: 0.1 to 10% and B: 0.01 to 0.8% in the coating film.

It is essential to suppress the number ratio of crystal grains less than mm to 45% or less.

C: 0.005-0.070% C is a feature of the present invention in that the content of C is 0.070% or less. That is, if it exceeds 0.070%, the amount of γ-transformation becomes excessive, the distribution of Al during hot rolling becomes non-uniform, and the distribution of AlN precipitated during the temperature rising process of hot-rolled sheet annealing becomes non-uniform and good at low magnetic fields. Magnetic properties cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the content is less than 0.005%, the effect of improving the structure cannot be obtained, and the secondary recrystallization becomes incomplete, and the magnetic properties also deteriorate.

Since solid solution of lN becomes difficult and the solid solution temperature of AlN rises, AlN precipitates in the hot rolling process, which is one of the features of this invention in the temperature rising process of hot-rolled sheet annealing. As a result, fine precipitation of AlN becomes impossible and good iron loss characteristics cannot be obtained in a low magnetic field. If slab heating is performed at a high temperature around 1400 ° C in order to eliminate this deficiency, the crystal grain size of the product becomes coarser, the iron loss in the high magnetic field decreases, and the iron loss in the low magnetic field increases.

That is, when slab heating is performed at a high temperature, the ratio of coarse crystal grains of 7 mm or more increases in the distribution of crystal grains in the product, and iron loss in a low magnetic field increases. From the above, the slab heating temperature is 1250 ° C or lower in order to obtain good grain distribution and magnetic properties. Furthermore, in recent years, a method of directly hot rolling after continuous casting without performing slab heating has been developed, but since the slab temperature hardly rises in this method,

Conversely, when the temperature exceeds 970 ° C, nucleation sites for AlN precipitation are formed in the steel. The amount and distribution of these precipitates become insufficient and the magnetic properties deteriorate.

That is, the hot-rolled sheet annealing temperature is 95

By rolling with such a tandem rolling mill, it is possible to suppress harmful static aging between rolling passes, and increase the strain rate to obtain a good rolling texture. That is, by this, the primary recrystallization texture is improved in the direction of promoting the secondary recrystallization grain growth, promoting the nucleation and growth of fine crystal grains, and the grain size of the product is less than 1 mm. Promotes stable generation of crystal grains with a grain size of 1 to 4 mm. At this time, by raising the temperature of the steel sheet during rolling, it is possible to induce dynamic strain aging and obtain a more preferable effect. A suitable rolling temperature for this purpose is a steel sheet temperature in the range of 90 to 300 ° C.
