Method for producing a grain-oriented electrical steel flat product intended for electrotechnical applications, comprising the following production steps: a) producing a steel melt which contains, in addition to iron and unavoidable impurities, (in % wt.) Si: 2.5 - 4.0 %, C: 0.02 - 0.1 %, Al: 0.01 - 0.065 %, N: 0.003 - 0.015 %, optionally - up to 0.30 % Mn, - up to 0.05 % Ti, - up to 0.3 % P, - one or more elements from the group S, Se in contents of which the total is at most 0.04 %, - one or more elements from the group As, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi with contents of up to 0.2 % in each case, - one or more elements from the group Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, Mo with contents of up to 0.5 % in each case, - one or more elements from the group B, V, Nb with contents of up to 0.012 % in each case, b) casting the melt into a strand in a continuous casting machine, c) separating at least one thin slab from the cast strand, d) heating the thin slab to a temperature between 1050 °C and 1300 °C, e) hot rolling the thin slab into a hot strip having a thickness of 0.5 - 4.0 mm in a hot-rolling train, f) cooling the hot strip, g) coiling the hot strip into a coil, h) cold rolling the hot strip into a cold strip having a final thickness of 0.15 - 0.50 mm, i) decarburising and nitriding annealing of the cold strip obtained, j) applying an annealing separator onto the surface of the annealed cold strip, k) final annealing of the cold strip provided with the annealing separator to form a Goss texture, characterised - in that the cold strip is annealed in at least two stages in the course of production step i), - in that the first stage of this annealing process extends over a first time interval and comprises heating the cold strip starting from a start temperature to a first target annealing temperature and subsequently holding the heated cold strip at the target annealing temperature, - in that the second stage of the annealing process extends over a second time interval, within which the cold strip is firstly heated to a second target annealing temperature and is subsequently held at this target annealing temperature, - in that the first target annealing temperature is 10 - 50 °C lower than the second target annealing temperature, and - in that the duration of the first time interval is 30 - 70 % of the entire duration of the annealing treatment comprising the first time interval and the second time interval. a) producing a steel melt which contains, in addition to iron and unavoidable impurities, (in % wt.)
