  • Publication number: 20220098692
    Abstract: The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet which does not have an inorganic coating containing forsterite as a main component, including a base steel sheet having a predetermined chemical component, a silicon-containing oxide layer provided on the base steel sheet, an iron-based oxide layer provided on the silicon-containing oxide layer, and a tension-insulation coating provided on the iron-based oxide layer, having a thickness of 1 to 3 ?m, and containing phosphate and colloidal silica as main components. When elemental analysis is performed from a surface of the tension-insulation coating in a sheet thickness direction by glow discharge optical emission spectrometry, predetermined requirements are satisfied.
