  • Publication number: 20170240988
    Abstract: A steel slab having a composition not containing an inhibitor component further contains, in mass %, at least one selected from: Sn: 0.010% to 0.200%; Sb: 0.010% to 0.200%; Mo: 0.010% to 0.150%; and P: 0.010% to 0.150%, and annealing that satisfies a relationship Td?Tf is performed, where Td (° C.) is a highest temperature at which the steel sheet is annealed in decarburization annealing and Tf (° C.) is a highest temperature before secondary recrystallization of the steel sheet starts in final annealing. Thus, a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet with significantly reduced magnetic property scattering in a coil is obtained without using an inhibitor component.
