Abstract: A method of producing a non-oriented electromagnetic steel strip by subjecting a low-carbon steel slab to hot-rolling, cold rolling at a small reduction and first annealing. In order to improve magnetic flux density and surface appearance of the product, specific conditions are employed so as to coarsen the crystalline structure to obtain a controlled and moderate crystal grain size after the annealing. The slab is cold-rolled at a rolling reduction of about 5 to 15% and is subjected to first annealing by heating at a rate of about 3.degree. C./sec or higher and holding the strip for about 5 to 30 seconds at 850.degree. C. to the A.sub.3 transformation temperature of the steel, while controlling the crystal grain size to about 100 to 200 .mu.m after first annealing.

Abstract: In grain oriented silicon steel sheets containing MnSe as a main inhibitor, an iron loss is reduced by increasing the magnetic flux density and realizing the thinning of product thickness and fine division of crystal grains while utilizing the stability of secondary recrystallization as a merit of such a sheet. In this case, 0.02-0.30% of Cu is added to a slab of the above grain oriented silicon steel, and particularly the decarburization annealing and/or the final finish annealing are carried out under particular conditions.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an oriented silicon steel sheet which achieves a high magnetic flux density while reducing the core loss. A silicon steel sheet containing Al and Sb as inhibitor components is cold-rolled once or a plurality of times. During cooling for annealing before final cold rolling, a small strain is created on the sheet and the temperature is within a certain range. Carbide precipitation is suitably controlled to precipitate carbides comparatively coarsely in grains.

Abstract: An oriented silicon steel sheet having a very high magnetic flux density is produced from an oriented silicon steel containing AlN as the main inhibitor and also containing Sb by a method adapted to prevent the loss of the inhibiting ability of the surface layer of the steel, and to improve cooling conditions in annealing before the final cold rolling. The steel is hot rolled, subjected to at least one time the combination of annealing and cold rolling wherein the final cold rolling is performed with a rolling reduction of about 80 to 95%, subjected to decarburization and primary recrystallization annealing, and subjected to, after coating an annealing separation agent, final finish annealing. Before annealing is performed before the final cold rolling, a nitriding promoter is applied to the surface of the steel sheet, and the partial-pressure ratio of N.sub.2 in the atmosphere for that annealing is adjusted to a value of not less than about 20%.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an oriented silicon steel sheet improved in magnetic characteristics, in which a hot-rolled steel sheet of oriented silicon steel containing about 0.01 to 0.10% by weight of Al and about 0.01 to 0.04% by weight of Sb as inhibitor components is heat-treated and cold-rolled one time or two or more times to have a final thickness. In the final heat treatment and final cold rolling alone, the steel sheet is quenched from a temperature of about 900.degree. to 1,100.degree. C. to a temperature equal to or lower than about 50.degree. C., is heat-treated at about 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. for about 30 sec. to 30 min. while applying a tensile stress of about 0.5 to 20 kg/mm.sup.2, is thereafter cold-rolled by a reduction rate of about 35 to 70% in a tandem rolling method, is aged at about 200.degree. to 400.degree. C. for about 10 sec. to 10 min., and is finished by cold rolling to have the final thickness.

Abstract: The production of grain oriented silicon steel sheets comprises a combination of hot rolling step, cold rolling step, decarburization and primary recrystallization annealing step, annealing separator applying step and secondary recrystallization annealing and purification annealing step. In this case, the cold rolled sheet is subjected to an electrolytic degreasing in a silicate bath containing an iron concentration of 50-5000 mg/l, and Cu is adhered to the surface(s) of the sheet after the decarburization and primary recrystallization annealing in an amount of 400-2000 mg/m.sup.2 per one-side surface.

Abstract: A cooling roll for producing quenched thin metal tape from molten metal by the twin-roll method. The roll is made of copper or copper alloy, and the roll surface is covered with a first layer of nickel plating 0.2 to 0.6 mm thick and a second layer of chromium plating 0.02 to 0.05 mm thick. The roll has the surface which does not suffer from deformation, seizure, winding, roughening, wear, and cracking. Thus the roll can produce quenched thin metal tape with a smooth surface in a stable manner for a long time.
