Abstract
Abstract A steel slab containing silicon for use as an electrical steel sheet and strip and having no blister occurrence in the final product manufactured by continuous casting, characterized in that said slab comprises 2.5 - 4.0 wt.% of silicon, less than 0.04% of aluminium, less than 3 ppm of hydrogen or less than 3 ppm of hydrogen together with less than 80 ppm of oxygen, and less than [Al(%) x 103 + 50] ppm of nitrogen, with the remainder being essentially iron.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A continuously cast and vacuum degassed steel strip for use as a cube-on-edge oriented electrical steel sheet and strip which possesses no blister in the final product, obtained by the process which comprises heating a slab consisting essentially of 2.5 to 4.0 wt.% silicon, less than 0.40% aluminum, less than 3 ppm hydrogen and less than [Al(%) × 10 3 + 40] ppm of nitrogen, with the balance being iron at a temperature not lower than about 1,200° C, and then hot rolling the slab, cold rolling the strip with a reduction not less than about 40%, subjecting the strip to decarburization annealing, and then final annealing the strip at a temperature not less than about 1,100° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A continuously cast and vacuum degassed steel strip for use as a cube-on-edge oriented electrical steel sheet and strip which possesses no blister in the final product, obtained by the process which comprises heating a slab consisting essentially of 2.5 to 4.0 wt.% silicon, less than 0.40% aluminum, less than 3 ppm hydrogen and less than [Al(%) × 10 3 + 40] ppm of nitrogen, with the balance being iron at a temperature not lower than about 1,200° C, and then hot rolling the slab, cold rolling the strip with a reduction not less than about 40%, subjecting the strip to decarburization annealing, and then final annealing the strip at a temperature not less than about 1,100° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The slab of claim 1 wherein the cold rolling is effected more than two times with an intermediate annealing step.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The grain oriented electrical steel sheet of claim 1 wherein said slab contains less than 0.01 wt.% of aluminium.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
124 words
A continuously cast and vacuum degassed steel strip for use as a cube-on-edge oriented electrical steel sheet and strip which possesses no blister in the final product, obtained by the process which comprises heating a slab consisting essentially of 2.5 to 4.0 wt.% silicon, less than 0.04% aluminum, less than 3 ppm hydrogen, less than 80 ppm of oxygen and less than [Al(%) × 10 3 + 50] ppm of nitrogen with the balance being iron at a temperature not lower than about 1,200° C, and then hot rolling the slab, cold rolling the strip with a reduction not less than about 40%, subjecting the strip to decarburization annealing, and then final annealing the strip at a temperature not less than about 1,100° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
124 words
A continuously cast and vacuum degassed steel strip for use as a cube-on-edge oriented electrical steel sheet and strip which possesses no blister in the final product, obtained by the process which comprises heating a slab consisting essentially of 2.5 to 4.0 wt.% silicon, less than 0.04% aluminum, less than 3 ppm hydrogen, less than 80 ppm of oxygen and less than [Al(%) × 10 3 + 50] ppm of nitrogen with the balance being iron at a temperature not lower than about 1,200° C, and then hot rolling the slab, cold rolling the strip with a reduction not less than about 40%, subjecting the strip to decarburization annealing, and then final annealing the strip at a temperature not less than about 1,100° C.
