Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
An electromagnetic steel sheet according to claim 1, wherein a layer to be penetrated by the laser beam, preferably a bluing treatment film, is present between said steel sheet surface and said insulating film.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
76 words
A method for treating an electromagnetic steel sheet comprising the steps of: irradiating by using a laser beam the surface of an electromagnetic steel sheet which has been finally annealed, thereby locally forming marks of the laser-beam irradiation on the surface of the steel sheet, and; subsequently, subjecting the steel sheet to the formation of an insulating film on the sheet surface at a temperature of the sheet not exceeding 600°C, preferably 550°C, more preferably 500°C.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
76 words
A method for treating an electromagnetic steel sheet comprising the steps of: irradiating by using a laser beam the surface of an electromagnetic steel sheet which has been finally annealed, thereby locally forming marks of the laser-beam irradiation on the surface of the steel sheet, and; subsequently, subjecting the steel sheet to the formation of an insulating film on the sheet surface at a temperature of the sheet not exceeding 600°C, preferably 550°C, more preferably 500°C.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
44 words
A method for treating an electromagnetic steel sheet according to claim 6, further comprising the step of: prior to said laser-beam irradiating step, applying, on the surface of an electromagnetic steel sheet, an annealing separator free from components capable of generating a glass film.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
41 words
A method for treating an electromagnetic steel sheet according to claim 6, further comprising the step of: prior to said laser-beam irradiating step, forming, on the surface of an electromagnetic steel sheet, a layer to be penetrated by the laser beam.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
52 words
A method for treating an electromagnetic steel sheet which has been finally annealed and has an annealing separator on the sheet surface according to claim 6, comprising the step of, subsequent to the final annealing which is batchwise, and prior to the laser-beam irradiating step thermally flattening the electromagnetic steel sheet coil.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
41 words
A method for treating an electromagnetic steel sheet according to claim 8, wherein the electromagnetic steel sheet is subjected to bluing at the withdrawal section of a continuously annealing furnace or a flattening line and then the laser-beam irradiation is applied.
