摘要:
A process for producing an aluminum-bearing grain-oriented silicon steel strip from a silicon steel slab containing up to 0.02% carbon, 0.01 to 0.1% aluminum, 2.7 to 4.0% silicon, and 0.002 to 0.02% nitrogen, the balance being iron and unavoidable impurities, said slab optionally containing at least one of 0.01 to 0.5% antimony and 0.01 to 1.0% copper, said process comprising: recrystallization hot rolling said slab, said rolling being commenced when said slab has a temperature up to 1,250.degree. C., and effected at a total reduction rate of at least 80% with a plurality of passes, including at least one pass having a reduction rate of at least 35%, before said steel has a temperature of 900.degree. C.; strain accumulation finish hot rolling said steel at a total reduction rate of at least 40% and at a steel temperature up to 900.degree. C.; annealing said hot rolled steel continuously at a temperature of 700.degree. C. to 950.degree. C.; cold rolling said steel; annealing said cold rolled steel continuously at a temperature of 700.degree. C. to 900.degree. C. for primary recrystallization; and finish annealing said steel, an atmosphere gas containing at least 30% of nitrogen being introduced during the heating step of said finish annealing when a temperature of 800.degree. C. to 1,000.degree. C. prevails.
摘要:
In conventional processes for producing a grain-oriented electromagnetic steel strip or sheet, the carbon and silicon content of the starting material is such that .alpha.-.gamma. transformation takes place, said transformation formerly being belived to play an important role in, for example, the formation of AlN. Recently, attempts have been made to reduce the carbon content so as to simplify decarburization-annealing, but these attempts have not been successful.In the present invention, (1) an extremely low carbon content (C.ltoreq.0.02%) and an extremely low sulfur content (S.ltoreq.0.015%), as well as a low heating temperature of the starting material, and (2) a temperature gradient of at least 2.degree. C. per centimeter, which is generated parallel to the sheet surface and under which the growth of secondary recrystallized grains is completed, are combined. As a result of such combination, the following advantages are attained: (1) secondary recrystallization is attained without .alpha.-.gamma. transformation taking place; (2) a high magnetic flux density is attained; (3) a continuous-casting machine can be directly combined with a continuous hot-rolling mill; (4) decarburization-annealing can be simplified; and (5) no molten slag is formed during heating of a steel slab.
