Specification

DESCRIPTION NON-ORIENTED ELECTRICAL STEEL SHEET HAVING SUPERIOR MAGNETIC PROPERTIES AND A PRODUCTION METHOD THEREFOR Technical Field The present invention relates to the production of a nonoriented electrical steel sheet, and particularly to a nonoriented electrical steel sheet of the highest quality, wherein the components of steel are optimally designed to increase the distribution density of coarse inclusions in steel and to improve growth of grains and mobility of domain walls, so that magnetic properties are enhanced, and low hardness is ensured, thus improving productivity and punchability, and to a method of producing the same. Background Art The present invention pertains to the production of a non-oriented electrical steel sheet useful as a material for iron cores of rotation devices. This non-oriented electrical steel sheet is essential in terms of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, and thus the magnetic properties thereof are regarded as very important. The magnetic properties mainly include core loss and magnetic flux density. Because the core loss is energy that disappears in the form of heat in the course of converting energy, it is good for it to be as low as possible. The magnetic flux density is a power source of a rotator. The higher the magnetic flux density, the more favorable the energy efficiency. Typically, a non-oriented electrical steel sheet is composed mainly of Si in order to reduce core loss. When the amount of Si increases, the magnetic flux density decreases. If the amount of Si is excessively increased, processability is decreased making it difficult to perform cold rolling. Furthermore, the lifetime of a mold may decrease upon punching by the customer. Hence, attempts are made to decrease the amount of Si and increase the amount of A1 so as to improve magnetic properties and mechanical properties. However, the magnetic properties of non-oriented electrical steel sheet of the highest quality are not obtained, and such sheets have not yet been actually produced because of difficulties in mass producing them. Meanwhile, to obtain a non-oriented electrical steel sheet with good magnetic properties, impurities including C, S, N, Ti and so on such as fine inclusions present in steel are controlled to be minimal and thus the growth of grains needs to be increased. However, the control of impurities to the minimum is not easy in a typical production process of electrical steel sheets, and the cost of a steel making process may undesirably increase. The impurities which were not removed in the steel making process are present in the form of nitrides or sulfides in a slab upon continuous casting. As the slab is re-heated to 1,10O0C or higher for hot rolling, inclusions such as nitrides or sulfides may be re-dissolved and then finely precipitated again upon termination of hot rolling. The inclusions that are precipitated in typical nonoriented electrical steel sheets include MnS and AlN, which are observed to have a small average size of about 50 nm, and such fine inclusions may hinder the growth of grains upon annealing thus increasing hysteresis loss and obstructing the movement of domain walls upon magnetization, undesirably lowering permeability. Therefore, in the process of producing the non-oriented electrical steel sheet, impurities are appropriately controlled from the steel making process so that such fine inclusions are not present, and the residual inclusions should be prevented from being more finely precipitated via redissolution upon hot rolling. Disclosure Technical Problem Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the related art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a nonoriented electrical steel sheet of the highest quality, wherein the proportions of Al, Si and Mn which are alloy elements of steel and N and S which are impurity elements of steel are optimally controlled so that the distribution density of coarse inclusions in steel is increased and the formation of fine inclusions is decreased, thus enhancing the growth of grains and the mobility of domain walls to thereby manifest excellent magnetic properties, and also superior productivity and punchability because of low hardness. Technical Solution In order to accomplish the above object, an aspect of the present invention provides a non-oriented electrical steel sheet having superior magnetic properties, comprising 0.7 - 3.0% of Al, 0.2 - 3.5% of Si, 0.2 - 2.0% of Mn, 0.001 - 0.004% of N, 0.0005 - 0.004% of S, and a balance of Fe and other inevitable impurities by wt%, and satisfying at least one of Conditions (I), (2) and (3) below: Condition (1): 0.0024{ [N] + [S] )50.006, 2301{ ( [~l+] [M n]) / ( [N]+ [S] ) }
