Abstract: An insulating coating film obtained by mixing 0.5 parts by mass to 10 parts by mass of a copolymer of a fluoroolefin and an ethylenically unsaturated compound when converted into a solid content with 100 parts by mass in solid content of a mixture composed of a metal phosphate and a specific organic resin or a mixture composed of colloidal silica and a specific organic resin is designed to be provided on a surface of an electrical steel sheet, and in this manner, it is possible to obtain an electrical steel sheet having good corrosion resistance under a wet environment and having good properties related to the insulating coating film such as a space factor and adhesiveness.

Abstract: An electrical steel sheet has an insulating coating on a steel sheet surface. The insulating coating includes one or more selected from an inorganic salt, an oxide, and an organic resin. The insulating coating includes the inorganic salt and/or the oxide in an amount of 50% or more by mass in total based on the total mass of the insulating coating. The insulating coating has a fluorine concentration ranging from 2 ppm to 130 ppm. The insulating coating is free of a chromium compound. The insulating coating of this electrical steel sheet has excellent coating compatibility.
