Claims
- 1. A process for producing a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet which comprises
- continuously casting a silicon steel slab containing 2.0 to 4.0% by weight of silicon, up to 0.085% by weight of carbon, at least one conventional inhibitor, and unavoidable impurities,
- heating the as cast slab to a temperature of at least 1300.degree. C. to dissolve said inhibitors,
- hot rolling the resultant heat-treated slab into a sheet, without any prior break-down step, said hot rolling comprising at least one recrystallization rolling, during finishing rolling, with a reduction rate of at least 30% per pass in a temperature range of from 960.degree. to 1190.degree. C., with the proviso that said inhibitors do not precipitate during said hot rolling, and
- subjecting said sheet to annealing and cold rolling to produce a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet.
- 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein the recrystallization rolling is performed with a reduction rate of not less than 50% per pass.
- 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein the inhibitor is at least one member selected from the group consisting of Al, N, Mn, S, Se and Te.
- 4. A process according to claim 1, wherein the recrystallization rolling is performed in a temperature range of from 1050.degree. to 1150.degree. C.
- 5. A process according to claim 1, wherein said slab is heated to a temperature of at least 1350.degree. C. prior to hot rolling.
