[Title of the Invention] GRAIN-ORIENTED ELECTRICAL STEEL SHEET
CAUSING LOW CORE LOSS AND LOW MAGNETOSTRICTION
[Technical Field of the Invention]
[0001]
The present invention relates to a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet used in
the core of a transformer or the lik~, and more particularly, to a grain-oriented
electrical steel sheet which contributes to a reduction in noise as well as a reduction in
core loss of a core and causes low core loss and low magnetostriction.

Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-97685, filed on
May 9, 2014, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] _ _,_,.-,
A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is generally used in a stationary
induction apparatus represented by a transformer. Characteristics to be satisfied by
the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet include low core loss, ease of excitation, low
magnetostriction, and the like.
A transformer is continuously excited over a long period of time from
installation to disuse and thus continuously generates energy losses. Due to these
. characteristics, low core loss is particularly required.
[0003]
In order to reduce the core losses of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, core
losses have been improved by metallurgical methods such as increasing the degree of
integration along a (11 0) [001] orientation called the Goss orientation, reducing the
amount of impurities in a steel sheet product, reducing the size of grains, and applying
- 1 -
OSP-64414(IN)(EN-Specification)
a coating that imparts surface tension to a steel sheet. However, these methods have
limitations, and a reduction in core loss using other methods is required.
[0004]
For such a problem, a method of refining magnetic domains themselves has been
'.' developed. Currently, a teclmique of irradiating the surface of a steel sheet with a
laser to introduce strain into the steel sheet and reducing the widths of magnetic
domains thereby reducing the core loss has been widely used.
[0005]
As described above, core loss of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet has
been significantly improved. On the other hand, a reduction in noise and vibration is
further required by apparatuses for electromagnetic application such as a transformer.
Therefore, a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet used in the core of a transformer also
requires low magnetostriction as well as low core loss.
[0006]
Laser irradiation for reducing core losses causes the introduction of residual
strain and is effective in refining magnetic domain widths. However, it is known that
laser irradiation becomes a source of magnetostriction.
Therefore, techniques in which, when magnetic domain control is performed
by irradiating a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, on which a coating is formed, with
a laser, magnetostriction is reduced by adjusting laser irradiation conditions and film
tension, thereby allowing low core loss and low magnetostriction to be compatible
with each other are disclosed in Patent Documents I to 4.
[0007]
Patent Document 1 discloses th~t as factors for determining magnetostriction,
the tension of a primary film, the tension of a tension insulation coating, and the
- 2 -
OSP-64414(IN)(EN-Specification)
application of micro-strain through laser irradiation are very important, and by
controlling these factors, a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet which has
magnetostriction characteristics for low noise and causes low core loss can be provided.
Patent Document I discloses that pulse laser irradiation was performed to
cause the total tension of th'e' 'p rimary film and a secondary coating applied thereafter
on a steel sheet to be I MPa to 8 MPa and cause the amount of heat input per unit area
of the steel sheet to be 1 mJ/mm2 to 2 rnJ/mm2
, otherwise the pulse laser irradiation
being performed to cause the tension to be 14 MPa or higher and the amount of heat
input to be 1.5 mJ/mm2 to 3 mJ/mm2
.

[0008]
Patent Document 2 discloses a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet having a
forsterite film and a tension coating, in which, in order to prevent the deterioration of
magnetostriction characteristics due to damage to the coatings in a case where
magnetic domain refinement is performed through laser irradiation, the total tension A
applied to the steel sheet in a rolling direction from the forsterite film and the tension
coating is 10.0 MPa or higher, the total tension B in a direction perpendicular to the
rolling direction is 5.0 MPa or higher, and the ratio AlB between the total tensions A
and Bisset to 1.0 to 5.0.
[0009]
Patent Document 3 discloses a technique in which, when magnetic domain
control is performed by irradiating a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet with a laser,
the thickness of a solidified layer of a laser irradiated portion is set to 4 JJ.m at the
maximum to cause strain to be introduced only into a narrow range in a rolling
direction, thereby reducing core losses and simultaneously suppressing
magnetostrictive deformation.

Patent Document 4 discloses a technique in which, before laser irradiation is
performed on a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, the amount of a primary film and
the amount of a tension insulation coating are detected, and the laser irradiation is
. , '
performed under appropriate irradiation conditions depending on the detected amounts,
thereby reducing core losses and simultaneously reducing magnetostriction and noise
in a transformer.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
[0012]
As described above, techniques in which, when magnetic domain control is
performed by irradiating a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, on which a coating is
formed, with a laser, the film tension and laser irradiation conditions are adjusted and
thus low core loss and low magnetostriction are allowed to be compatible with each
- 4 -
OSP -64414(IN)(EN -Specification)
other have been disclosed. However, from the viewpoint of further enhancing
magnetostriction characteristics in a state in which a high core loss reduction effect is
maintained by laser irradiation, a further improvement is preferable.
The present invention has been made taking the foregoing circumstances into
consideration, and an objec't' t'h ereof is to provide a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet
which allows low core loss and low magnetostriction to be compatible with each other.
[Means for Solving the Problem]
[0013]
The core losses of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet are reduced by
minimizing the sum of eddy-current loss and hysteresis loss. In addition, the eddycurrent
loss and the hysteresis loss are subjected to having complex variation with
respect to various material parameters. In addition, the magnetostrictive deformation
of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is also subjected to having complex variation
with respect to various material parameters.
For example, stress is applied to a base steel sheet by coatings (a tension
insulation coating and a primary film (glass coating)) applied to a grain-oriented
electrical steel sheet, and stress is applied to the base steel sheet also by laser
irradiation for magnetic domain control.
The inventors found that a range of stress applied due to film tension and a
laser in which the core loss and the magnetostriction were minimized with a good
balance was present depending on the degree of an effect of such a stress distribution.
In addition, the inventors evaluated the stress according to variation in the
warpage amount of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet and found a range in which
magnetostriction was optimized.

in a direction parallel to a rolling direction of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet
and a length of 60 mm in a direction parallel to a transverse direction is extracted from
the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, a range from a surface of the tension insulation

coating to a depth position of 5 f.!m toward the base steel sheet side from an interface
between the base steel sheet and the primary film is removed by pickling at least one
surface of the sample, and a warpage amount of the sample is thereafter measured, the
warpage amount satisfies the following expressions A and B.
