Process for producing non-oriented electromagnetic steel strip capable of retaining uniform magnetic quality in a product coil

摘要

A process is disclosed for the production of a non-oriented electromagnetic steel strip having its magnetic characteristics uniformly retained in the product coil. The process involves by full- or semi-processing, hot rolling a steel slab containing not more than about 0.03% by weight of C, not more than about 3% by weight of Si and not more than about 2% by weight of Al such that the equation [Si wt %]+3 [Al wt %]-6 [C wt %] is in the range of about 0 to 2; and cold rolling the hot rolled steel strip in a known manner, followed optionally by finish annealing and also optionally by skin-pass rolling. The coil is finish rolled at a peripheral roll speed between about 500 to 1,500 mpm at the final stand. The peripheral roll speed at the final finish rolling stand is also controlled within a range of no more than about 300 mpm. Hot rolling is completed at a temperature Tf ( DEG C.) in an alpha-phase temperature zone and not less than about {750+30 ([Si wt %]+3 [Al wt %]-6 [C wt %])}.
