Abstract:
A steel slab having a chemical composition including C: not more than 0.005 mass %, Si: not more than 4 mass %, Mn: 0.03-2 mass %, P: not more than 0.2 mass %, S: not more than 0.004 mass %, Al: not more than 2 mass %, N: not more than 0.004 mass %, Se: not more than 0.0010 mass % and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities is subjected to hot rolling, cold rolling and recrystallization annealing up to 740° C. at an average heating rate of not less than 100° C./s to produce a semi-processed non-oriented electrical steel sheet being high in the magnetic flux density and low in the iron loss after stress relief annealing.
