Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a grain-oriented electromagnetic steel sheet in which iron loss is improved and which suppresses a decrease in productivity in magnetic domain control in which a laser groove is formed. A grain-oriented electromagnetic steel sheet according to the present invention has multiple grooves in the surface of the steel sheet, and has protrusions at groove lateral parts adjacent to each of the grooves in the surface of the steel sheet. The crystal orientation of at least one crystal grain existing inside each of the protrusions differs by 5°C or more from the goss orientation which is the crystal orientation of crystal grains at portions excluding vicinities of the protrusions in the steel sheet. As a result, iron loss in the electromagnetic steel sheet is improved and a step for removing the protrusions becomes unnecessary.

Abstract

According to the present invention, a hollow member has a circumferential hardness difference section in at least a portion in the longitudinal direction along the center axis thereof. When viewing the circumferential hardness difference section in a cross-section perpendicular to the center axis, a thickness difference, derived by subtracting the minimum value of the thickness in the circumferential direction of the cross-section from the maximum value of the thickness, is no more than 20% of an average value of the thickness over the entire circumference of the cross-section. Furthermore, when the average of the integral of the Vicker's hardness over the entire circumference of the cross-section is used as a hardness threshold, the cross-section includes: a low-strength range in which the Vicker's hardness in the circumferential direction is no more than the hardness threshold; and a high-strength range in which the Vicker's hardness in the circumferential direction exceeds the hardness threshold.

The wound core includes a plurality of flat portions and a plurality of corner portions. The bent bodies each include a plurality of flat areas and a plurality of bend areas adjacent to the flat areas. The radius of curvature of each bend area is less than or equal to 5.0 mm. The bent bodies each include one or more joint portions where end faces of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet in the longitudinal direction thereof face each other. In the wound core, an average distance of a first group of joint portions and an average distance of a second group of joint portions according to a predetermined condition are greater than or equal to 25 mm. In this way, it is possible to avoid interference between the plastic strain and elastic strain in a bend area and the sheering strain in a joint portion, and to suppress iron loss.

A method for manufacturing an arc welded joint according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: stacking a first steel sheet and a second steel sheet in a sheet thickness direction so that an end portion of the first steel sheet is disposed on the surface of the second steel sheet; and arc-welding the end portion of the first steel sheet and the surface of the second steel sheet, the end portion being laid over the surface, to form a weld bead. The surface of the second steel sheet has a zinc-based plating. The arc welding is weaving arc welding in which the torch performs a periodically undulating motion in a direction transverse to the welding direction. The sheet thickness tL (mm) of the second steel sheet and the weaving wavelength y (mm) of the torch during weaving arc welding have values such that y/tL≤2.8 is satisfied. The width w (mm) of the weld bead and the sheet thickness tL of the second steel sheet have values such that 3.3≤w/tL≤7.0 is satisfied. During the weaving arc welding, a droplet transfer frequency D (times/second) from the torch to a molten pool and the undulation frequency f (Hz) have values such that D/f≥25 is satisfied.
