Definitions
- the present invention relates to a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet. This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2023-106861, filed on June 29, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Grain-oriented electrical steel sheet contains silicon, and the crystal orientation of its crystal grains is concentrated near the Goss orientation (cubic ⁇ 110 ⁇ 001>), with the ⁇ 001> orientation, which is the axis of easy magnetization, being nearly aligned with the rolling direction in the steel sheet manufacturing process.
- Such grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is extremely useful as a material for the iron cores of transformers, etc.
- Important magnetic properties of grain-oriented electrical steel sheet include magnetic flux density, core loss, and noise characteristics.
- Magnetic flux density B8 is generally used as an index of magnetic flux density.
- Magnetic flux density B8 is the value of the magnetic flux density of a magnetized grain-oriented electrical steel sheet when a magnetizing force of 800 A/m is applied in the rolling direction.
- a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet with a higher magnetic flux density B8 value is more easily magnetized with a certain magnetizing force and has a higher magnetic flux density, making it suitable for small, highly efficient transformers.
- the iron loss W17/ 50 is generally used as an index of iron loss.
- the iron loss W17 /50 is the iron loss when a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is excited with an AC current under conditions of a maximum magnetic flux density of 1.7 T and a frequency of 50 Hz. It can be said that the smaller the value of the iron loss W17/ 50 of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, the lower the energy loss and the more suitable it is for a transformer.
- the magnetostrictive velocity level (Lva) is also used as an index of noise characteristics.
- the magnetostrictive velocity level (Lva) is a value obtained by time-differentiating the magnetostrictive waveform during AC excitation, converting it to velocity, and applying A-weighting audibility correction, which is the frequency characteristic of human hearing.
- A-weighting audibility correction which is the frequency characteristic of human hearing.
- the characteristics of sound that humans can perceive are not necessarily constant at all frequencies, and can be expressed by an audible characteristic called A-weighting.
- the actual magnetostrictive waveform is not a sine wave, but a waveform in which various frequency components overlap.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a method of increasing the magnetic flux density by promoting secondary recrystallization while applying a temperature gradient to the steel sheet.
- Patent Document 3 discloses a method of reducing iron loss by applying distortion to the steel sheet through scanning irradiation with an extremely finely focused laser beam.
- Patent Document 4 discloses a method of reducing iron loss by forming multiple grooves on the surface of the steel sheet.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 increase magnetic flux density, but the secondary recrystallized grains grow coarse, resulting in poor iron loss characteristics if magnetic domain control technology is not applied.
- the technology of Patent Document 3 reduces iron loss, but the noise characteristics deteriorate because the amount of strain required for iron loss reduction is introduced into the steel sheet.
- the technology of Patent Document 4 reduces iron loss, but the magnetic flux density decreases because grooves of the depth required for iron loss reduction are formed in the steel sheet.
- the present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet that is excellent in all of magnetic flux density, iron loss, and noise characteristics.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet that is excellent in all of magnetic flux density, iron loss, and noise characteristics, even when magnetic domain control technology is applied.
- the gist of the present invention is as follows:
- a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet having a base steel sheet and an insulating coating and having magnetic domain control,
- the magnetic flux density in the rolling direction when excited with 800 A/m is defined as B8 in units of T.
- the iron loss when excited to a magnetic flux density of 1.7 T at a frequency of 50 Hz is defined as W 17/50 in units of W/kg.
- the magnetostriction rate level calculated from the magnetostriction amount of the 200 Hz component of the magnetostriction waveform when excited to a magnetic flux density of 1.7 T at a frequency of 50 Hz is defined as Lva200@1.7 T in dB units
- the B8 satisfies B8 ⁇ 1.940
- the W 17/50 satisfies W 17/50 ⁇ 0.670
- the Lva200@1.7T satisfies ⁇ Lva200@1.7T ⁇ 46.0.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of using spot current heating as a local rapid heating method, and is a schematic diagram showing an example of the arrangement of local heat affected regions in a decarburized annealed steel sheet.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of Goss-oriented grains in a decarburized annealed steel sheet.
- the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to the present embodiment is a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet with controlled magnetic domains,
- the steel plate has a base material and an insulating coating.
- the magnetic flux density in the rolling direction when excited with 800 A/m is defined as B8 in units of T.
- the iron loss when excited to a magnetic flux density of 1.7 T at a frequency of 50 Hz is defined as W 17/50 in units of W/kg.
- the deviation between the crystal orientation of the secondary recrystallized grains and the ideal Goss orientation is controlled to be extremely small, and the secondary recrystallized grains are prevented from growing coarsely. Therefore, even if a magnetic domain control technique is applied, the energy density of the laser irradiation can be lowered and the depth of the grooves formed can be made shallower than in the conventional technique. As a result, the deterioration of noise characteristics caused by distortion due to laser irradiation and the decrease in magnetic flux density B8 caused by the formation of grooves can be preferably suppressed. Therefore, the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to this embodiment is excellent in all of magnetic flux density, iron loss, and noise characteristics (particularly the magnetostriction rate level in a medium magnetic field).
- multiple coarse Goss orientation grains close to the ideal Goss orientation are formed before secondary recrystallization, and these coarse Goss orientation grains are preferentially grown during secondary recrystallization, and the secondary recrystallization is terminated by causing these preferentially growing coarse Goss orientation grains to collide with each other. Therefore, in the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to this embodiment, the crystal orientation of the secondary recrystallized grains is close to the ideal Goss orientation, and the secondary recrystallized grains are fine. The manufacturing method of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to this embodiment will be described later.
- the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to this embodiment has a magnetic flux density B8 of 1.940 T or more in the rolling direction.
- the magnetic flux density B8 is preferably 1.950 T or more, preferably 1.960 T or more, preferably 1.970 T or more, preferably 1.980 T or more, and more preferably 1.990 T or more.
- the magnetic flux density B8 when used as a wound core, the larger the magnetic flux density B8 , the more preferable it is, so there is no particular upper limit, but for example, the magnetic flux density B8 may be 2.00 T or less, or 1.99 T or less.
- the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to this embodiment has an iron loss W 17/50 of 0.670 W/kg or less.
- the value of the iron loss W 17/50 varies depending on the plate thickness t of the base steel plate. When the plate thickness t of the base steel plate becomes thinner, the value of the iron loss W 17/50 becomes smaller.
- the iron loss W 17/50 may be 0.670 W/kg or less regardless of the plate thickness.
- the iron loss W 17/50 is preferably 0.650 W/kg or less, and more preferably 0.600 W/kg or less.
- the smaller the value of the iron loss W 17/50 the more preferable it is, and the lower limit is not particularly limited.
- the iron loss value in the range where the above-mentioned Lva200@1.7T satisfies 46.0 dB or less becomes the lower limit of the iron loss W 17/50 .
- the lower limit of the iron loss W 17/50 may be set to 0.500 W/kg.
- the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to this embodiment has an Lva200@1.7T of 46.0 dB or less.
- the value of Lva200@1.7T varies depending on the magnetic flux density B8 .
- it is sufficient that Lva200@1.7T is 46.0 dB or less at any magnetic flux density B8 .
- Lva200@1.7T is preferably 45.0 dB or less, and preferably 40.0 dB or less.
- the smaller the value of Lva200@1.7T the more preferable it is, and the lower limit is not particularly limited.
- the lower limit of Lva200@1.7T may be 34.0 dB.
- the magnetic properties of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet may be measured based on the single sheet magnetic property test method (SST: Single Sheet Tester) specified in JIS C 2556:2015. For example, 20 samples for single sheet magnetic measurement of 100 mm x 500 mm size are prepared from the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, and the single sheet magnetic properties are measured.
- the magnetic flux density B 8 may be obtained as the magnetic flux density in the rolling direction of the steel sheet when excited at 800 A / m.
- the iron loss W 17 / 50 may be obtained as the iron loss defined as the power loss per unit weight (1 kg) of the steel sheet under the conditions of AC frequency: 50 Hz, excitation magnetic flux density: 1.7 T.
- magnetostriction ⁇ p-p@1.7T generated in the steel sheet may be measured under the conditions of AC frequency: 50 Hz and excitation magnetic flux density: 1.7 T.
- the magnetostriction rate level Lva200@1.7T can be calculated based on the magnetostriction characteristics described above.
- the magnetostriction rate level can be calculated using the following formula 1 by performing a Fourier transform on a magnetostriction waveform with two or more periods, acquired at a sampling frequency of 6.4 kHz, and using the magnetostriction amount ⁇ (fi) (0 Hz to 3.2 kHz) obtained for each frequency.
- Lva200@1.7T can be calculated with a frequency fi of 200 Hz.
- the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to the present embodiment is basically premised on the application of magnetic domain control technology for reducing iron loss.
- magnetic domain control technology for applying distortion by laser irradiation or the like when magnetic domain control technology for applying distortion by laser irradiation or the like is implemented, the noise characteristics of the transformer are deteriorated.
- the secondary recrystallized grain size can be made smaller than that of a conventional material having the same magnetic flux density B8 , so that the effect of reducing iron loss can be enjoyed even if the amount of distortion applied for magnetic domain refinement is reduced.
- the noise characteristics can be significantly improved while maintaining the same or higher iron loss characteristics.
- the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to this embodiment has a chemical composition that contains, by mass fraction, 2.0% to 7.0% Si, with the remainder being Fe and impurities.
- this grain-oriented electrical steel sheet may contain publicly known optional elements in place of a portion of Fe in order to improve the magnetic properties.

- Acid-soluble Al may be measured by ICP-AES using the filtrate after thermally decomposing the sample with acid.
- C and S may be measured using the combustion-infrared absorption method, N using the inert gas fusion-thermal conductivity method, and O using the inert gas fusion-non-dispersive infrared absorption
- the above chemical composition is that of the base steel sheet. If the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet to be used as the measurement sample has an insulating coating on its surface, the coating is removed using the method described below before measuring the chemical composition.
- the insulating coating can be removed by immersing the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet having the coating in a high-temperature alkaline solution.
- the insulating coating can be removed from the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet by immersing the sheet in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution containing 30 to 50 mass % NaOH and 50 to 70 mass % H 2 O at 80 to 90° C. for 5 to 10 minutes, followed by rinsing with water and drying.
- the time for immersion in the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution can be changed depending on the thickness of the insulating coating.
- the electrical steel sheet from which the insulating coating has been removed using the above method may be immersed in hot hydrochloric acid.
- the preferred concentration of hydrochloric acid for removing the forsterite coating to be dissolved is determined in advance, and the forsterite coating can be removed by immersing the sheet in hydrochloric acid of this concentration (e.g. 30-40% by mass hydrochloric acid) at 80-90°C for 1-5 minutes, followed by rinsing with water and drying.
- different treatment solutions are used to remove each coating, such as using an alkaline solution to remove the insulating coating and hydrochloric acid to remove the forsterite coating.
- a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet with excellent quality can be obtained by performing localized rapid heating on a cold-rolled steel sheet to form a localized heated region, followed by primary annealing (decarburization annealing) and secondary annealing (finish annealing).
- the locally heated region formed before the primary annealing is located locally on the surface of the steel plate.
- the crystalline structure of this locally heated region consists of one or both of a recrystallized structure and a recovered structure at the end of the local rapid heating.
- the crystalline structure of the non-rapidly heated parts of the steel plate surface other than the locally heated region consists of a cold worked structure that remains as it is cold rolled.
- the above-mentioned localized rapid heating has a heating rate of 500°C/sec or more, preferably 2000°C/sec or more, and more preferably 10000°C/sec or more.
- a heating rate 500°C/sec or more, preferably 2000°C/sec or more, and more preferably 10000°C/sec or more.
- the frequency of coarse Goss orientation grains in the localized heating affected area is greater than that obtained by normal rapid heating of the entire plate. This characteristic is thought to be due to the fact that the peripheral area of the locally heated area is a processed structure that retains a lot of distortion. Specifically, when localized rapid heating is performed, the practical Goss orientation grains generated in the locally heated area preferentially encroach on the peripheral unrecrystallized area that retains a lot of distortion during the primary annealing, and grow in diameter. However, when the entire steel plate is heated, the generation and growth of recrystallized grains occurs uniformly within the steel plate, so it is thought that the above-mentioned enlargement does not occur.
- the Goss-oriented grains formed in the local heat-affected zone grow preferentially during secondary annealing.
- Many Goss-oriented grains are formed in the local heat-affected zone, including Goss-oriented grains that have a particularly small angular deviation, are close to the ideal Goss orientation, and have large crystal grain sizes after primary annealing. During secondary recrystallization, these Goss-oriented grains grow preferentially.
- Goss orientation grains that serve as the nuclei for secondary recrystallization are supplied to the local heat affected region, there is no need to form Goss orientation grains in the primary annealing in the matrix parts other than the local heat affected region, i.e., the local heat unaffected region. Therefore, as the heat treatment conditions for the primary annealing, a slow heating condition with a low heating rate may be adopted, which forms many corresponding orientation grains with the ⁇ 111 ⁇ 112> and ⁇ 411 ⁇ 148> orientations that are easily eroded in the local heat unaffected region.
- the heating rate for the primary annealing to 300°C/sec or less, many Goss orientation grains with large crystal grain size and close to the ideal Goss orientation are formed in the local heat affected region, while almost no Goss orientation grains are formed in the local heat unaffected region, and conversely, many corresponding orientation grains can be formed.
- the Goss orientation grains that are present in the local heat affected zone are close to the ideal Goss orientation, and have a large grain size begin preferential growth and grow toward the zone not affected by the local heat. If the Goss orientation grains that have begun preferential growth collide with other Goss orientation grains that have begun to grow from the adjacent local heat affected zone, the grain growth stops.
- the coarse Goss orientation grains that are close to the ideal Goss orientation and grow preferentially are favorably arranged in the steel sheet, and as a result, the grain size of the Goss orientation grains at the end of secondary annealing is reduced. In other words, a secondary recrystallized structure with a fine grain size can be obtained, despite having a crystal orientation close to the ideal Goss orientation.
- spot current heating by electrical resistance heating is described below.
- spot current heating spot electrodes are pressed against both sides of a steel sheet, and current is passed between the spot electrodes to spot current heat the electrode holding portion of the steel sheet.
- a steel having the composition shown in Table 1 was used, and a cold-rolled steel sheet with a sheet thickness of 0.22 mm was obtained by hot rolling and cold rolling. This steel sheet was subjected to spot current heating.
- the spot current heating was performed using a copper electrode with a diameter of 3 mm, under the following conditions: current of 5.0 kA or less, which is a range in which the steel sheet surface does not melt, current time of 20 milliseconds to 80 milliseconds, electrode pressure of 50 kgf to 150 kgf, and electrode holding time after current application of 0.2 seconds.
- Spot current heating was performed on the surface of the cold-rolled steel sheet in a grid pattern with a pitch of 20 mm in the rolling direction and a pitch of 30 mm in the width direction (perpendicular to the rolling direction), forming a localized heating area.
- This cold-rolled steel sheet was subjected to decarburization annealing (primary annealing). In the decarburization annealing, the cold-rolled steel sheet was heated at a heating rate of 20°C/sec and held at 830°C for 90 seconds.
- Figure 1 shows an example of the arrangement of local heat affected areas in a decarburized annealed steel sheet manufactured under the above conditions.
- the decarburized annealed steel sheet 1 the local heat affected areas 2, the rolling direction 21, and the width direction (direction perpendicular to the rolling direction) 22 are shown diagrammatically.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of Goss orientation grains in the decarburized annealed steel sheet manufactured under the above conditions.
- the current-carrying electrode used for spot current heating is circular, and its diameter is preferably 0.5 mm ⁇ to 10 mm ⁇ , and more preferably 1 mm ⁇ to 5 mm ⁇ , in terms of circle equivalent diameter. Note that, although a circular current-carrying electrode was used in the above, it is sufficient to locally increase the heating rate of the cold-rolled steel sheet, form Goss-oriented grains in this region, and allow the grains to grow; the electrode shape may be other shapes, for example, elliptical or linear.
- the decarburized annealed steel sheet 1 manufactured under the above conditions contains Goss orientation grains 14 as well as coarse Goss orientation grains 15.
- the region containing the coarse Goss orientation grains 15 corresponds to the local heat affected region 2.
- Figure 2 shows a schematic of the local heat affected region boundary 4 and the local heat affected region boundary 5, it is not easy to distinguish these boundaries by observing the structure.
- the region containing the coarse Goss orientation grains 15 can be considered to be the local heat affected region 2.
- the above decarburized annealed steel sheets were further nitrided, coated with an annealing separator mainly composed of MgO, and then subjected to secondary annealing.
- the secondary annealing conditions were: hydrogen nitrogen atmosphere, heating rate: 15°C/hr (°C/hr), holding: 1200°C-20hr (hr).
- the obtained steel plate was subjected to macro-etching to reveal the grain boundaries.
- macro-etching was observed at the locations corresponding to the local heat affected areas, it was found that in some cases multiple secondary recrystallized grains had grown from the locations corresponding to the local heat affected areas, and in other cases secondary recrystallized grains had spread from the center of the locations corresponding to the local heat affected areas.
- minute grains of 2 mm or less were sometimes observed as traces of the local heat affected areas, but in other cases they were not.
- the secondary recrystallized macrostructure may change slightly depending on the local heating conditions, the degree of accumulation in the Goss orientation was increased compared to when local heat treatment was not performed.
- the obtained grain-oriented electrical steel sheet had an extremely small deviation between the crystal orientation of the secondary recrystallized grains and the ideal Goss orientation, and that the grains did not grow coarsely.
- magnetic domain control technology was applied to this grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, and it was confirmed that the magnetic flux density B8 was 1.940 T or more, the iron loss W17 /50 was 0.670 W/kg or less, and the Lva200@1.7 T was 46.0 dB or less.
- the coarse Goss orientation grains (Goss orientation grains with large crystal grain size) close to the ideal Goss orientation grow preferentially. Therefore, even if the secondary recrystallized grains are not allowed to grow large, it is possible to obtain a steel sheet dominated by secondary recrystallized grains close to the ideal Goss orientation.
- the size, shape, and arrangement of the crystal grains after secondary annealing can be controlled by appropriately arranging the local heat affected zones on the steel sheet surface.
- the grain size of the Goss orientation grains at the end of secondary annealing will be small, and a steel sheet with excellent iron loss can be obtained.
- the Goss orientation grains that grow preferentially from the local heat-affected region have a crystal orientation close to the ideal Goss orientation, so good magnetic flux density can be obtained despite the small secondary recrystallized grain size.
- the above-mentioned grain-oriented electrical steel sheet can increase the magnetic flux density while suppressing the coarsening of the secondary recrystallized grain size, and therefore can reduce the introduction of strain and the formation of grooves for the magnetic domain width refinement.
- the energy density of the laser irradiation can be lowered and the depth of the grooves formed can be made shallower than in the conventional technology. Therefore, compared to the conventional technology, the increase in the magnetostriction rate level Lva caused by the strain of the laser irradiation and the decrease in the magnetic flux density B8 caused by the formation of grooves can be preferably suppressed.

For this reason, the preferred upper limit of the total content of S and Se is 0.025%, and more preferably 0.010%. If S and Se remain after the final annealing, they form compounds and deteriorate the iron loss. Therefore, it is preferable to reduce S and Se as much as possible by purification during the final annealing.

- Hot-rolled sheet annealing is generally performed to control the steel sheet structure such as the recrystallization rate, residual strain, and crystal grain size by annealing the hot-rolled steel sheet after the hot rolling process, and to preferably adjust the precipitate form in the steel.
- a high-temperature slab heating process it is a process for finally controlling the form of precipitates such as AlN, and conditions are adjusted so that they precipitate uniformly and finely.
- the hot-rolled sheet annealing for example, after heating the steel sheet to 1050 ° C to 1150 ° C, in order to properly precipitate AlN, etc., it may be cooled slowly to an intermediate temperature (850 ° C to 950 ° C) for 50 to 150 seconds, and then cooled with water.
- an intermediate temperature 850 ° C to 950 ° C
- the cold rolling process is a process in which the annealed steel sheet obtained in the hot-rolled sheet annealing process is subjected to one cold rolling or multiple cold rolling (two or more times) via annealing (intermediate annealing) to obtain a cold-rolled steel sheet having a thickness of, for example, 0.10 to 0.50 mm.
- the interpass temperature of the cold rolling may be set to about 100° C. to 300° C.
- local rapid heating is performed on the cold-rolled steel sheet after the cold rolling process to form a local heating region.
- the rapid heating method is not particularly limited as long as it can locally heat the steel sheet.
- a method of heating by contacting a spot electrode with the front and back surfaces of the steel sheet and passing an electric current through the steel sheet a method of heating by irradiating the surface of the steel sheet with laser light or an electron beam, a method of locally heating by induction heating, a method of heating by contacting a hot piece, etc. can be adopted.
- each local heating region can be a dot-like region with a diameter of about 10 ⁇ m to 10 mm, or a linear region with a width of about 10 ⁇ m to 10 mm.
- the electrode used for current heating may be a circular electrode as described above, or a linear electrode.
- the minimum diameter and width of the locally heated region depend on the shape of the spot electrode and the technology for reducing the focused diameter of the laser light or electron beam. In principle, it is possible to further reduce the size of the locally heated region, but considering that the current size of the recrystallized grain nuclei is about 1 ⁇ m, it is believed that an effect can be obtained if the size of the locally heated region is 1 ⁇ m or more. From an industrial perspective, the above minimum diameter and width should be 10 ⁇ m or more. Furthermore, if the maximum diameter or width of the locally heated region exceeds 10 mm, the area proportion of Goss orientation grains with a relatively large angle deviation that cannot grow outside the locally heated region increases. In this case, it becomes difficult to obtain the effect of local rapid heating.
- the heating rate should be 500°C/sec or more in the center of the locally heated region as viewed in the thickness direction and at 1/5 of the thickness of the steel plate. If the heating rate in the above region is 500°C/sec or more, the structure of the locally heated region can be preferably controlled to a recovered structure or a recrystallized structure.
- the above heating rate is preferably 2000°C/sec or more, and more preferably 10000°C/sec or more.
- the upper limit of the above heating rate is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 1,000,000°C/sec.
- the aim is to have coarse Goss oriented grains in the local heat affected region after decarburization annealing, but if the heating rate during decarburization annealing is faster than the heating rate during local rapid heating, it is difficult to achieve the above objective. Therefore, although it depends on the magnitude of the heating rate, it is preferable to set the heating rate during local rapid heating to be equal to or higher than the heating rate during decarburization annealing.
- the 1/5 part of the thickness of the steel plate mentioned above refers to a depth equivalent to 1/5 of the thickness of the steel plate from the surface of the steel plate in the thickness direction.
- the maximum temperature reached should be 700°C or higher in the center of the locally heated region when viewed from the plate thickness direction and at 1/5 of the plate thickness of the steel plate. If the maximum temperature reached in the above region is 700°C or higher, the structure of the locally heated region can be preferably controlled to a recovered structure or a recrystallized structure.
- the above maximum temperature reached is preferably 800°C or higher, and more preferably 900°C or higher.
- the above maximum temperature reached should be below the melting point of the steel plate, for example, 1400°C or lower.
- the holding time from reaching the maximum temperature to cooling to 700°C at the center of the locally heated region as viewed from the thickness direction and at 1/5 of the thickness of the steel plate should be 0.1 seconds or more. If the holding time in the above region is 0.1 seconds or more, the structure of the locally heated region can be preferably controlled to a recovered structure or a recrystallized structure.
- the holding time is preferably 0.2 seconds or more, more preferably 0.3 seconds or more, and even more preferably 0.4 seconds or more.
- there is no particular limit to the upper limit of the holding time and it may be, for example, 10 seconds or less.
- the holding time from reaching the maximum temperature to cooling to 700°C has a fundamental effect on the formation of coarse Goss orientation grains close to the ideal Goss orientation.
- the method of local rapid heating is not particularly limited.
- local rapid heating may be performed by spot electrical current heating, laser irradiation, or electron beam irradiation.
- it is sufficient to control the heating rate, maximum temperature, and holding time described above so as to satisfy the above.
- a person skilled in the art can combine the various conditions of the local rapid heating method to control the desired heating rate, maximum temperature, and holding time.
- a person skilled in the art can perform a heat conduction analysis using the finite element method to control the heating rate and maximum temperature reached in the center of the localized heating area when viewed from the plate thickness direction and at 1/5 of the plate thickness of the steel plate.
- a person skilled in the art can control the above-mentioned holding time by adjusting the heat removal conditions after the maximum temperature is reached. For example, in the case of spot current heating, the electrode holding time after current is controlled, or the shape of the spot electrode can be changed to a shape suitable for heat removal.
- the irradiation speed can be adjusted, or the shape of the irradiation area can be changed to an ellipse or the like to gradient the irradiation energy from the center to the outer edge of the irradiation area.
- the heating by laser irradiation preferentially heats only the vicinity of the irradiated steel sheet surface, and the inside of the steel sheet is not easily heated.
- the heating by laser irradiation is non-contact heating, the heat is removed quickly after heating, and the temperature is not easily maintained. Therefore, when performing laser irradiation heating as local rapid heating, in order to recover or recrystallize the cold-worked structure in the laser irradiated region, it is necessary to control the conditions so that not only the surface of the steel sheet but also the inside of the steel sheet is heated, and the cooling rate is slowed down to relatively coarsen the subgrain structure in the laser irradiated region.
- the laser irradiation conditions for performing local rapid heating are completely different from the laser irradiation conditions for performing magnetic domain refinement. For example, even if the laser irradiation conditions for performing magnetic domain refinement (usually 0.5 to 50 mJ/mm 2 ) are applied to this embodiment, the structure of the locally heated region is not favorably controlled, and coarse Goss orientation grains close to the ideal Goss orientation are not formed in the steel sheet after the decarburization annealing process. The same applies to electron beam irradiation as to laser irradiation.
- the structure of the locally heated region is not favorably controlled, and coarse Goss oriented grains close to the ideal Goss orientation are not formed in the steel sheet after the decarburization annealing process.
- decarburization annealing process In the decarburization annealing step, the cold-rolled steel sheet after the local rapid heating step is subjected to decarburization annealing (primary annealing). This decarburization annealing increases the frequency of Goss-oriented grains formed in the local heat-affected zone, increases the grain size of the Goss-oriented grains, and preferably forms coarse Goss-oriented grains having an orientation close to the ideal Goss orientation.
- the decarburization annealing conditions may be a heating rate of 10 to 10,000°C/sec, an annealing temperature of 700 to 900°C, and an annealing time of 10 to 600 seconds.
- C contained in the cold-rolled steel sheet is removed. It is preferable to perform the decarburization annealing in a moist atmosphere in order to remove "C" contained in the cold-rolled steel sheet.
- the primary recrystallized grain size is not particularly limited, but is preferably 8 to 30 ⁇ m.
- the heating rate of decarburization annealing may be 10,000°C/sec or less, but it is preferable to slow down the heating rate of decarburization annealing to form ⁇ 111 ⁇ 112> orientation grains and ⁇ 411 ⁇ 148> orientation grains that are easily eroded into the matrix portion (region not affected by local heat).
- the heating rate of decarburization annealing is preferably 300°C/sec or less, more preferably 200°C/sec or less, and even more preferably 100°C/sec or less.
- the degree of oxidation (PH 2 O/PH 2 ) in the annealing atmosphere may be set to 0.01 to 0.15.
- the degree of oxidation PH 2 O/PH 2 can be defined as the ratio of the water vapor partial pressure PH 2 O to the hydrogen partial pressure PH 2 in the atmosphere.
- Nitriding is an effective treatment in a low-temperature slab heating process in which the slab heating temperature is 1280°C or less, and is an important step for adjusting the strength of the inhibitor in secondary recrystallization. Nitriding increases the nitrogen content of the steel sheet by about 40 to 200 ppm between the start of the decarburization treatment and the start of secondary recrystallization in the finish annealing.
- Examples of nitriding include a treatment of annealing in an atmosphere containing a gas with nitriding ability such as ammonia, and a treatment of finish annealing a decarburized annealed steel sheet coated with an annealing separator containing a powder with nitriding ability such as MnN.
- the amount of nitriding after the nitriding treatment is preferably 130 to 350 ppm, and more preferably 150 to 250 ppm.
- the annealing separator application process is a process of applying an annealing separator to the decarburized annealed steel sheet.
- an annealing separator mainly composed of MgO or an annealing separator mainly composed of Al 2 O 3 can be used.
- the decarburized annealed steel sheet after application of the annealing separator is wound into a coil and is finish annealed in the next finish annealing process.
- the final annealing process is a process in which the decarburized annealed steel sheet coated with the annealing separator is subjected to final annealing (secondary annealing) to cause secondary recrystallization.

鋳造工程では、スラブを準備する。スラブの製造方法の一例は次のとおりである。溶鋼を製造(溶製)する。溶鋼を用いてスラブを製造する。連続鋳造法によりスラブを製造してもよい。溶鋼を用いてインゴットを製造し、インゴットを分塊圧延してスラブを製造してもよい。スラブの厚さは、特に限定されない。スラブの厚さは、たとえば、150~350mmである。スラブの厚さは、好ましくは、220~280mmである。スラブとして、厚さが10~70mmの、いわゆる薄スラブを用いてもよい。薄スラブを用いる場合、熱間圧延工程において、仕上げ圧延前の粗圧延を省略できる。
炭素(C)は、製造工程においては一次再結晶組織の制御に有効な元素であるものの、最終製品への含有量が過剰であると磁気特性に悪影響を及ぼす。したがって、C含有量は0.085%以下である。C含有量の好ましい上限は0.075%である。Cは脱炭焼鈍工程及び仕上げ焼鈍工程で純化され、0.005%以下となる。Cを含む場合、工業生産における生産性を考慮すると、C含有量の下限は0%超であってもよく、0.001%であってもよい。
シリコン(Si)は、方向性電磁鋼板の電気抵抗を高めて鉄損を低下させる。Si含有量が2.0%未満であれば、仕上げ焼鈍時にγ変態が生じて、方向性電磁鋼板の結晶方位が損なわれてしまう。一方、Si含有量が7.0%を超えれば、冷間加工性が低下して、冷間圧延時に割れが発生しやすくなる。Si含有量の好ましい下限は2.5%であり、さらに好ましくは3.0%である。Si含有量の好ましい上限は4.5%であり、さらに好ましくは4.0%である。
マンガン(Mn)はS又はSeと結合して、MnS、又は、MnSeを生成し、インヒビターとして機能する。Mnを含有させる場合、Mn含有量が0.05~1.00%の範囲内にある場合に、二次再結晶が安定する。なお、インヒビターの機能の一部をNb群元素の窒化物によって担うことが可能である。この場合は、一般的なインヒビターとしてのMnS、又は、MnSe強度は弱めに制御する。このため、Mn含有量の好ましい上限は0.50%であり、さらに好ましくは0.20%である。
硫黄(S)及びセレン(Se)は、Mnと結合して、MnS又はMnSeを生成し、インヒビターとして機能する。S及びSeの少なくとも一方を含有させる場合、S及びSeの含有量が合計で0.003~0.035%であれば、二次再結晶が安定する。なお、インヒビターの機能の一部をNb群元素の窒化物によって担うことが可能である。この場合は、一般的なインヒビターとしてのMnS、又は、MnSe強度は弱めに制御する。このため、S及びSe含有量の合計の好ましい上限は0.025%であり、さらに好ましくは0.010%である。S及びSeは仕上げ焼鈍後に残留すると化合物を形成し、鉄損を劣化させる。そのため、仕上げ焼鈍中の純化により、S及びSeをできるだけ少なくすることが好ましい。
アルミニウム(Al)は、Nと結合して(Al、Si)Nとして析出し、インヒビターとして機能する。Alを含有させる場合、Al含有量が0.010~0.065%の範囲内にある場合に、後述の窒化により形成されるインヒビターとしてのAlNは二次再結晶温度域を拡大し、特に高温域での二次再結晶が安定する。したがって、Al含有量は0.010~0.065%である。Al含有量の好ましい下限は0.020%であり、さらに好ましくは0.025%である。二次再結晶の安定性の観点から、Al含有量の好ましい上限は0.040%であり、さらに好ましくは0.035%である。
窒素(N)は、Alと結合してインヒビターとして機能する。Nは製造工程の途中で窒化により含有させることが可能であるため下限は規定しない。例えば、N含有量の下限は0%超であってもよく、0.001%であってもよい。一方、Nを含有させる場合、N含有量が0.012%を超えれば、鋼板中に欠陥の一種であるブリスタが発生しやすくなる。N含有量の好ましい上限は0.010%であり、さらに好ましくは0.009%である。Nは仕上げ焼鈍工程で純化され、仕上げ焼鈍工程後には0.005%以下となる。
Nb群元素(Nb、V、Mo、Ta、及びWの1種以上)の合計含有量は0.050%以下であればよい。Nb群元素をインヒビターの一部として活用する場合、Nb群元素の合計含有量が0.030%以下であると、適切なタイミングで二次再結晶を開始させるので好ましい。また、発生する二次再結晶粒の方位が非常に好ましいものとなり、最終的に磁気特性にとって好ましい組織に制御できる。特に、Nb及びTaはその効果が強く好ましい。Nb群元素の合計含有量は下限値を設ける必要がなく、下限値が0%でもよい。この下限値は、0.003%であることが好ましい。
Cu:0.40%以下、
Bi:0.010%以下、
B:0.080%以下、
P:0.50%以下、
Ti:0.015%以下、
Sn:0.10%以下、
Sb:0.10%以下、
Cr:0.30%以下、
Ni:1.00%以下
の少なくとも1種を含有してもよい。
これら任意元素は、公知の目的に応じて含有させればよいため、任意元素の含有量の下限値を設ける必要はなく、下限値が0%でもよい。
熱間圧延工程は、所定の温度(例えば1100~1400℃)に加熱されたスラブの熱間圧延を行い、熱延鋼板を得る工程である。熱間圧延工程では、例えば、加熱工程で加熱された珪素鋼素材(スラブ)の粗圧延を行った後、仕上げ圧延を行って所定厚さ、例えば、1.8~3.5mmの熱延鋼板とする。仕上げ圧延終了後、熱延鋼板を所定の温度で巻き取る。
熱延板焼鈍工程は、熱間圧延工程で得た熱延鋼板を所定の温度条件(例えば750~1200℃で30秒間~10分間)で焼鈍して、焼鈍鋼板を得る工程である。熱延板焼鈍は、一般的に、熱間圧延工程後の熱延鋼板を焼鈍することにより、再結晶率や残存歪や結晶粒径などの鋼板組織を制御し、また鋼中の析出物形態を好ましく調整するために実施される。例えば、高温スラブ加熱プロセスにおいては、AlNなどの析出物の形態を最終的に制御する工程であり、均一かつ微細に析出するように条件調整する。熱延板焼鈍として、例えば、鋼板を1050℃~1150℃に加熱した後、AlNなどを適正に析出させるため、50~150秒かけて中間温度(850℃~950℃)まで緩冷却した後、水冷却してもよい。
冷間圧延工程は、熱延板焼鈍工程で得た焼鈍鋼板を、1回の冷間圧延、又は焼鈍(中間焼鈍)を介して複数回(2回以上)の冷間圧延(例えば総冷延率で80~95%)により、例えば、0.10~0.50mmの厚さを有する冷延鋼板を得る工程である。磁気特性を改善するために、例えば、冷間圧延のパス間温度を100℃~300℃程度にしてもよい。
本実施形態では、冷間圧延工程後の冷延鋼板に対して、局所加熱領域を形成するための局所急速加熱を行う。急速加熱方法としては、鋼板を局所的に加熱できるものであればよく、特に限定しない。例えば、鋼板の表裏面にスポット電極を接触させて鋼板内に電流を通電して加熱する方法、レーザー光や電子ビームなどを鋼板表面に照射して加熱する方法、誘導加熱によって局所的に加熱する方法、熱片を接触させて加熱する方法などを採用することができる。個々の局所加熱領域の大きさとしては、直径が10μm~10mm程度の点状領域、あるいは幅が10μm~10mm程度の線状領域とすることができる。また、通電加熱に用いる電極は、上記のように円形状の電極としてもよく、または線状の電極としてもよい。
脱炭焼鈍工程では、局所急速加熱工程後の冷延鋼板に対して、脱炭焼鈍(一次焼鈍)を行う。この脱炭焼鈍により、局所加熱影響領域に形成されるゴス方位粒の存在頻度が増大し、ゴス方位粒の粒径が増大し、理想ゴス方位に近い方位を持つ粗大ゴス方位粒が好ましく形成される。脱炭焼鈍条件としては、加熱速度を10~10000℃/秒、焼鈍温度を700~900℃、焼鈍時間を10~600秒とすればよい。また、冷延鋼板に脱炭焼鈍を行うことで、冷延鋼板中に含まれるCが除去される。脱炭焼鈍は、冷延鋼板中に含まれる「C」を除去するために、湿潤雰囲気中で行うことが好ましい。
窒化処理は、スラブ加熱温度が1280℃以下の低温スラブ加熱プロセスで有効な処理であり、二次再結晶におけるインヒビターの強度を調整するために重要な工程である。窒化処理は、脱炭処理の開始から、仕上げ焼鈍における二次再結晶の開始までの間に、鋼板の窒素量を40~200ppm程度増加させる。窒化処理としては、例えば、アンモニア等の窒化能のあるガスを含有する雰囲気中で焼鈍する処理、MnN等の窒化能を有する粉末を含む焼鈍分離剤を塗布した脱炭焼鈍鋼板を仕上げ焼鈍する処理等が例示される。窒化処理後の窒化量は130~350ppmとすることが好ましく、さらには150~250ppmとすることが好ましい。
焼鈍分離剤塗布工程は、脱炭焼鈍鋼板に焼鈍分離剤を塗布する工程である。焼鈍分離剤としては、例えば、MgOを主成分とする焼鈍分離剤やAl2O3を主成分とする焼鈍分離剤を用いることができる。焼鈍分離剤を塗布後の脱炭焼鈍鋼板は、コイル状に巻取った状態で、次の仕上げ焼鈍工程で仕上げ焼鈍される。
仕上げ焼鈍工程は、焼鈍分離剤が塗布された脱炭焼鈍鋼板に仕上げ焼鈍(二次焼鈍)を施し、二次再結晶を生じさせる工程である。この工程は、一次再結晶粒の成長をインヒビターにより抑制した状態で二次再結晶を進行させることによって、{100}<001>方位粒を優先成長させ、磁束密度を飛躍的に向上させる。
仕上げ焼鈍後の鋼板に、りん酸あるいはりん酸塩、無水クロム酸あるいはクロム酸塩およびコロイド状シリカを含むコーティング溶液を塗布して焼き付けて(例えば、350℃~1150℃で5~300秒間)、絶縁被膜を形成する。
絶縁被膜形成工程後の鋼板に、レーザー、プラズマ、機械的方法、エッチングなど、公知の手法により、局所的な微小歪領域または局所的な溝を形成する。
