Abstract: An iron or iron-base alloy sheet having high proportion of {100} texture and a method of manufacturing the same. A method of forming grains having {100} plane parallel to the sheet surface is disclosed. A Fe or Fe-base alloy sheet is annealed at austenite (?) temperature while minimizing an effect of oxygen in the sheet or on surfaces of the sheet or a heat treatment atmosphere, and then the above sheet is subject to phase transformation to ferrite (?). On surfaces of the resulting sheet, a high proportion of {100} texture develops. A method of manufacturing electrical steel sheet is disclosed. The grains with {100} texture on surfaces grow to have a grain size of at least half the thickness of the sheet by a ??? transformation. By adopting the above disclosed methods, an iron or iron-base alloy sheet with excellent texture can be simply manufactured within short time.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a soft magnetic steel sheet is disclosed. The silicon steel sheet is made to undergo a finish treatment so that it can be put to the practical use. The finish treatment method for an Fe-Si silicon steel sheet manufactured by a direct casting method by directly contacting a molten pool to a cooling roll according to the present invention includes the step of pickling the manufactured Fe-Si silicon steel sheet, and carrying out a cold rolling. Then the silicon steel sheet thus cold-rolled is heat-treated at a temperature above 0.5 Tm (Tm: melting temperature of the steel sheet).
