Abstract
Abstract A method for manufacturing cold rolled, nondirectional electrical steel sheets and strips having a high magnetic flux density wherein a molten steel is solidified to obtain a slab in a manner that columnar grains develop predominantly from the surface in the direction of thickness of the slab up to a depth of more than 50%; said slab is heated to a temperature above 1000 DEG C without cogging and rolling to form gamma -phase at least more than about 10% of said slab, and hot rolled strongly with a draft of more than 98% without reheating to obtain a hot rolled steel sheet; and said hot rolled steel sheet is cold rolled with a draft of 64 - 84%, heated with a heating velocity of more than 1.6 DEG C/sec., and annealed at a temperature of 600 DEG - 1200 DEG C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A method for producing a cold rolled nondirectional electrical steel sheet or strip having a high magnetic flux density which comprises: a. continuously casting molten steel containing 0.003 - 0.1% carbon, less than 4.0% silicon and less than 3.0% aluminum, which three components being controlled within the range defined in FIG. 8, into a slab at a temperature higher by about 30° to 70°C than the liquidus temperature, and solidifying the molten steel at a ratio of cooling water to molten steel of about 0.5 to 3 liters per Kg of steel, so as to produce a slab in which columnar grains cover more than 50% of the whole cross section or of the total thickness of the slab starting from both surfaces.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
125 words
b. heating the slab uniformly to a temperature in the range of 1000° to 1350°C for a period selected to convert more than about 10% of the volume of the slab into gamma phase without breaking down the slab. c. hot rolling the slab along the plane perpendicular to the direction of the developing columnar grains with a reduction of greater than about 98% to produce a sheet of intermediate gauge d. acid pickling the hot rolled sheet e. cold rolling the sheet with a reduction from about 64 - 84% f. heating the cold rolled sheet at a heating rate of from about 1.6° to 100°C/second; and g. annealing the material at a temperature between about 600° to 1200°C for more than 10 seconds.
