Patent ID: 10975451

Abstract:
Methods for producing non-oriented electrical steel sheets comprising steps including hot rolling a slab having a chemical composition comprising C: not more than 0.01 mass %, Si: not more than 6 mass %, Mn: 0.05-3 mass %, P: not more than 0.2 mass %, Al: not more than 2 mass %, N: not more than 0.005 mass %, S: not more than 0.01 mass %, Ga: not more than 0.0005 mass %, and the remainder being Fe and inevitable impurities, pickling without conducting hot band annealing or after conducting hot band annealing or self-annealing, subjecting to one or more cold rollings including an intermediate annealing therebetween and a finish annealing, and forming an insulation coating, an average heating rate from 500 to 800° C. in the heating process of the finish annealing is not less than 50° C./s, whereby a non-oriented electrical steel sheet having excellent magnetic properties is obtained even if hot band annealing is omitted.
