Here, if the material steel sheet before the intermediate layer and the insulating coating is formed is available, it is sufficient that the material steel sheet measured. On the other hand, if only the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet intermediate layer and the insulating film is formed is available, may be performed to measure the above after appropriately removing the insulating film by a known method. Since the thickness of the intermediate layer is small, it would not affect the surface roughness measurement results of the steel sheet. Thus, removal of the intermediate layer is not essential.
[0111]

Therefore, grain-oriented electrical steel sheet meeting the above requirements, regardless of its production method, a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet according to the present embodiment.
[0113]

Method for producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, before applying the first solution may comprise a step of removing the inorganic mineral coating caused by finish annealing, wherein the annealing separator is mainly composed of magnesia it may be the one. Of these, at (a) finish annealing, a coating of inorganic mineral forsterite or the like produced on the surface of the steel sheet, pickling, the surface of the grain oriented electrical steel sheets removed in means grinding or the like, or, (b) Finishing in annealing, the surface of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet which suppresses the generation of the film of the inorganic mineral, a solution containing a compound comprising a phosphoric acid, a metal element that produces a metal phosphide reacts with phosphoric acid (first solution) the was coated annealed, to form an intermediate layer of silicon oxide mainly containing a metal phosphide, on the intermediate layer, composed mainly of phosphate and colloidal silica
[0114]
 Forsterite, etc. pickling a coating of inorganic minerals, the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet was removed by means of grinding or the like, and, grain-oriented electrical steel sheet which suppresses the formation of oxide layers of the inorganic mineral, for example, as follows to to be manufactured.
[0115]
 The silicon steel strips containing Si 2.0 ~ 4.0 wt% to hot rolling and hot-rolled steel sheet, if necessary, annealed hot-rolled steel sheet, then the hot-rolled steel plate or annealed hot-rolled steel sheet , one cold rolling, or is subjected to two or more cold rolling sandwiching the intermediate annealing, final sheet finished to steel plate having a thickness, then with performing decarburization annealing the steel plate is allowed to proceed primary recrystallization . The decarburization annealing, an oxide layer is formed on the surface of the steel sheet. Note annealing the hot-rolled steel sheet (so-called hot-rolled sheet annealing) is not essential, but may be implemented for product characteristics improve.
[0116]
 Then, an annealing separator composed mainly of magnesia on the surface of the steel sheet having an oxide layer was applied and dried, after drying, wound in a coil shape, subjected to finish annealing (secondary recrystallization). The finish annealing, the steel sheet surface, forsterite (Mg 2 SiO 4 is forsterite film mainly comprising) After removal, preferably smoothly finished surface of the steel sheet by chemical polishing or electrolytic polishing. By chemical polishing or electrolytic polishing, if the surface roughness of the steel sheet was 0.5μm or less in terms of arithmetic average roughness Ra, preferably the iron loss oriented electrical steel sheet is remarkably improved.
[0117]
 As annealing separator, the alumina instead of magnesia can be used an annealing separator consisting mainly, which was then coated and dried, after drying, wound into a coil, finish annealing (secondary recrystallization) subjected to. The finish annealing can be produced oriented electrical steel sheet by suppressing the generation of inorganic mineral coating such as forsterite.

Thus, a compound containing a metal element that produces a metal phosphide reacts with phosphoric acid, a compound containing Fe is preferred. Considering the reactivity with phosphoric acid, FeCl 3 is preferred. Incidentally, as a source of phosphorus in the metal phosphide, when an organic phosphate or phosphates, there is a risk that the metal phosphide amount is insufficient. Thus, the first solution should be intended to include phosphoric acid.
[0120]
 And phosphoric acid in the first solution to be applied, the ratio of the compound capable of reacting with the phosphoric acid containing a metal element forming the metal phosphide mass ratio 2: 1 to 1: 2, preferably 1: 1 to 1: adjusted to be 1.5. The ratio of the compound containing phosphoric acid and metal elements With the above-mentioned range, it is possible to sufficiently improve the adhesion of the insulating coating. If phosphoric acid is insufficient, the metal phosphide is not formed in the intermediate layer.
 The coating amount of the first solution is determined according to the thickness of the intermediate layer of interest. The amount itself of the metal phosphide in the intermediate layer is determined by the coating amount of the phosphoric acid, a compound containing a metal element. On the other hand, the thickness of the intermediate layer, as described below, the annealing temperature, annealing time, also determined by the dew point of the annealing atmosphere. Accordingly, by both the coating amount and the annealing conditions of the compound, so that the cross-sectional area ratio in the intermediate layer section of the metal phosphide is determined. For the above reason, it is necessary to determine in accordance with the application amount of the first solution in the intermediate layer thickness. For example, when the annealing under the condition that the thickness of the intermediate layer is 4nm is the coating amount of the first solution 0.03 ~ 4 mg / m 2 may be set to. When the thickness of the intermediate layer is annealed under conditions such that the 400nm little less than, the coating amount of the first solution 3 ~ 400 mg / m 2 may be set to. Note that the coating weight of the first solution, and phosphoric acid, a coating amount of the compound containing the metal element, the mass, such as water which is these solvents are not included in the coating amount of the first solution.
