Patent ID: 11239012

Abstract:
A process for producing grain-oriented electrical steel strip by means of thin slab continuous casting and which includes continuously casting the smelt by thin slab continuous casting, subjecting the thin slabs to homogenization annealing at a maximum temperature of 1250° C. and heating to a temperature between 1350° C. and 1380° C., and continuously hot rolling the thin slabs to form a hot-rolled strip, with cooling and reeling the hot-rolled strip to form a coil and cold rolling the hot-rolled strip to a nominal thickness, with subjecting the cold-rolled strip to recrystallization, decarburization and nitridation annealing, which includes a decarburization annealing phase and a subsequent nitridation annealing phase, with an intermediate reduction annealing phase being interposed between the decarburization annealing phase and the nitridation annealing phase, whereby a cold-rolled strip is obtained, which primary recrystallized grains have a circle equivalent mean size (diameter) between 22 μm and 25 μm.
