Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a metal sheet having an excellent rolling property, i.e., a rollable metal sheet, which process comprises the basic steps of: continuously feeding a molten metal on a cooling material having one or two cooling surfaces being transferred and renewed for quench solidification, to thereby prepare a thin cast sheet; impinging a small rigid body particle against the surface of the resultant thin cast sheet, to work the cast sheet; heat-annealing the worked sheet in such a manner that the worked region becomes a fine recrystallized grain layer; and subjecting the cast sheet to a cold or warm rolling, optionally after a removal of oxides present on the surface; and an optional step of heat-treating the rolled sheet for working. The process of the present invention is applicable to the production of various known rollable metal or alloy sheets, such as soft steel, stainless steel, silicon steel, nickel-iron, cobalt-iron, nickel, aluminum, and copper sheets.

Abstract: In the production of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet by utilizing an AIN main inhibitor and at least twice cold-rolling with a heavy final reduction, improved magnetic properties are stably obtained by controlling the cooling speed (R) in the cooling process of a hot-rolled sheet annealing (R.gtoreq.5.degree.C./sec from 600.degree.-200.degree. C.) and by inter-pass aging (50.degree.-500.degree. C. for 1 minute or more) during the first cold-rolling.

Abstract: A thin-gauge (0.10-0.23 mm thick) grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is produced by a process characterized by a decarburization which is carried out after the hot-rolling and before the final cold-rolling, after which the known, decarburization annealing and finishing annealing are carried out. The steel composition is adjusted to induce the secondary recrystallization by the AlN inhibitor. The reduction at the final cold-rolling is determined to be high to obtain a high magnetic flux density but tends to instabilize the secondary recrystallization unless the inventive decarburization is carried out.
