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

A non-oriented electrical steel sheet of the present invention has a chemical composition capable of causing α-γ transformation, and contains 0.0005% to 0.0050% of Ti, in which, in a case where an area ratio of grains having a crystal orientation of an {hkl} orientation (within a tolerance of 10°) when measured by EBSD is denoted as Ahkl-uvw, A411-011 is 15.0% or more, and the non-oriented electrical steel sheet has an average grain size of 10.0 μm to 40.0 μm.

Abstract

Provided is a steel plate characterized by having: a specific chemical composition; an average Vicker's hardness Hs, in a region spanning from at least one surface to 10% of the plate thickness, that is no greater than 0.60 times the average Vicker's hardness Hc at a position of 1/2 the plate thickness; a ratio of macroscopic brittle fracture surface of 35.0% or less as determined by a Charpy impact test at room temperature; and a tensile strength of 1500 MPa or greater.
