【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は鋼板表面が鏡面で鉄損が極めて低い方向性電磁鋼板の製造方法に関するものであり、特に、仕上げ焼鈍時に鋼板表面を平滑化し、鉄損特性の改善を図る方向性電磁鋼板の製造方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、方向性電磁鋼板はトランスなどの鉄芯として用いられており、方向性電磁鋼板の磁気特性がトランスの性能に多大な影響を与えることから鋭意研究が進められ、その磁気特性の改善が図られてきた。
【0003】
方向性電磁鋼板の鉄損を低減する手段としては、例えば特開昭58−26405号公報に仕上げ焼鈍後の材料表面にレーザービームを照射して局部歪みを鋼板に付与することにより磁区を細分化して鉄損を低減する技術が開示されている。また、巻き鉄芯の場合には鉄芯に加工した後、歪み取り焼鈍を施しても磁区細分化効果の消失しない方法が例えば特開昭62−8617号公報に開示されている。これらの技術により鉄損レベルはきわめて良好なものとなってきたが、さらに鉄損値の低減を図るためには鋼板表面近傍の磁区の動きを妨害する地鉄表面の凹凸を除去し鋼板表面を平滑化することが重要である。
【0004】
このような鋼板表面の平滑化技術としては、近年では例えば特開平7−54155号公報に開示されるような、仕上げ焼鈍時に使用される焼鈍分離剤にビスマスあるいはビスマス化合物を添加することにより、鋼板表面近傍の磁区の動きを阻害する地鉄表面の凹凸を取り除き鋼板を平滑化することにより鉄損を低減する技術がある。
【0005】
すなわち、方向性電磁鋼板を通常の製造工程で処理した場合、仕上げ焼鈍後の鋼板表面には1次被膜と称されるフォルステライトを主成分とする酸化物層が生成されている。この酸化物層は鋼板中に深く入り込んだ状態で形成されることから磁壁移動の妨げとなり、鉄損増加の要因の一つとなっている。しかし、1次被膜を除去し鋼板を平滑化する方法では鋼板表面の1次被膜だけでなく、鋼板中に入り込んだ酸化物層も除去する必要があることから生産性が悪く工業的に実用的でない。
【0006】
そこで、1次被膜を除去するのではなく仕上げ焼鈍時に1次被膜を生成させない方法として、米国特許第3785882号に開示されるAl2 O3 、特公昭56−3414号公報に開示される含水珪酸塩鉱物粉末、さらに特開昭64−62417号公報に開示される焼鈍分離剤中に塩化物を添加する技術などが研究されている。しかし、これらの方法では表面の平滑度が十分達成されず、鉄損低減の妨げとなっていた。
【0007】
上記特開平7−54155号公報には、焼鈍分離剤100重量部に対しビスマスの塩化物を塩素重量部で0.2部以上15部以下添加する技術が開示されている。また、特開平7−173642号公報には、ビスマス単体あるいはビスマスの化合物及び金属の塩素化合物を含み、金属酸化物及び金属水酸化物を主体とする混合物を、金属水酸化物の割合が1.0〜25重量%であるようにすることにより仕上げ焼鈍時に1次被膜の生成を阻害し、鋼板表面を平滑化して鉄損を低減する技術が開示されている。
しかし、これらの技術ではコイル状の方向性電磁鋼板を仕上げ焼鈍した場合、部分的に1次被膜が生成したり、金属酸化物が焼き付いて除去するのが困難であるといった問題点があった。
【0008】
特開平7−278676号公報には、このような表面平滑度の不均一を解決する手段として、塩化物と水素との反応開始温度が600℃以上になるようにすることで、表面平滑度の良好な鋼板を広い面積にわたり均一に実現する技術が開示されている。この技術は仕上げ焼鈍中の雰囲気ガス及び焼鈍分離剤中の水和水分を制御することによりBiOClの分解温度を高め、一定のHCl量を生成しようとするものである。
【0009】
上記特開平7−278676号公報に開示されている技術により、1次被膜の主要成分であるフォルステライトの生成が鋼板表面の広い範囲にわたって均一に抑制することが可能となったが、焼鈍分離剤として用いたAl2 O3 が鋼板表面に焼き付くといった問題点があった。Al2 O3 が鋼板表面に焼き付いた場合には、酸洗あるいはブラッシングなどの手段を用いても除去するのは困難である。
【0010】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は方向性電磁鋼板の仕上げ焼鈍工程において、1次被膜の生成を阻害し鋼板表面を平滑化することにより低鉄損を得るための工業的手段を提供することを目的とし、コイル状態であっても均一で金属酸化物等の焼き付きの無い鏡面を得る方法を提供するものである。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の要旨は以下の通りである。
(1)質量%で2〜7%のSiを含有する珪素鋼スラブを熱延し、必要に応じて焼鈍を施し、1回の冷延または中間焼鈍を挟む2回以上の冷延を行い、脱炭焼鈍後、焼鈍分離剤を塗布、乾燥し仕上げ焼鈍を行う方向性電磁鋼板の製造方法において、上記焼鈍分離剤として、質量比でMgO:Al2 O3 を3:7〜7:3とした混合物に、ビスマス塩化物を0.5〜15質量%添加したものか、あるいは仕上げ焼鈍中にビスマス塩化物を0.5〜15質量%生成するビスマス化合物と金属の塩素化合物を添加したものを使用することを特徴とする方向性電磁鋼板の製造方法。
【0012】
(2)上記(1)記載の製造方法において、焼鈍分離剤として用いるMgOは、そのクエン酸活性度が100〜300であり、かつ平均粒径が1〜10μmであることを特徴とする方向性電磁鋼板の製造方法。
(3)上記(1)及び(2)に記載の製造方法において、珪素鋼スラブがさらに質量%で0.003〜0.03%のBiを含有するものであることを特徴とする方向性電磁鋼板の製造方法。
(4)上記(1)乃至(3)のいずれか1項に記載の製造方法において、脱炭焼鈍時の昇温速度を100〜1000℃/秒とすることを特徴とする方向性電磁鋼板の製造方法。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明を更に詳細に説明する。
通常、方向性電磁鋼板を一般的な工程で処理した場合、鋼中の珪素は非常に酸化され易いため、脱炭焼鈍後の鋼板表面には珪素を含有する酸化被膜が形成される。MgOを主成分とする焼鈍分離剤を用いた場合には、仕上げ焼鈍中にMgOと鋼板表面の酸化被膜が反応してフォルステライト被膜を形成するが、ビスマス塩化物、あるいはビスマス化合物と金属の塩素化合物の両方が焼鈍分離剤中に存在すると鋼板表面の酸化層が除去される。
【0014】
しかし、フォルステライトは非常に安定であるため、ビスマス塩化物、あるいはビスマス化合物と金属の塩素化合物の両方がMgO中に存在している場合にも焼鈍中の雰囲気バラツキや温度偏差の影響により部分的に生成し、従ってMgOを焼鈍分離剤として用いた場合には仕上げ焼鈍中にフォルステライトの生成を完全に抑制することは工業的に非常に困難である。
【0015】
また、MgO以外の金属酸化物を主成分とする焼鈍分離剤の場合には、部分的に金属酸化物が鋼板表面に焼き付きを起こすため、通常次工程で余分に付着した焼鈍分離剤を洗浄し平坦化焼鈍を施されるが、焼き付いた金属酸化物をコイル全体として除去する作業が大変困難であり工業的でない。
【0016】
そこで、本発明者らはフォルステライトの生成を完全に抑制するのではなく、生成するフォルステライトを剥離し易いものとし、かつ金属酸化物に関しても焼き付きを生じないようにすることを考えた。すなわち、焼鈍分離剤としてフォルステライトが生成するのに必要な量のMgOを混合するとともに、生成するフォルステライトがBiOClの働きにより剥離し易いものとし、焼鈍分離剤自身が鋼板表面に焼き付かないか、あるいは焼き付いたとしても容易に除去が可能であることにより工業的にコイル状の鋼板表面を均一に平滑化しようとするものである。
【0017】
本発明者らは、焼鈍分離剤としてMgOと各種金属酸化物およびそれらの性状について鋭意検討した結果、MgOとAl2 O3 の特定割合の混合物にビスマス塩化物を添加することにより上記思想の具体化が可能で、コイル状態でも均一な鋼板の平滑表面が得られることを発見し、これに基づき本発明を完成した。
【0018】
まず、本発明の製造方法の限定理由について述べる。
図1は焼鈍分離剤中のAl2 O3 とMgOの混合比率と、MgOのクエン酸活性値を変えたときの鏡面化状態を示したものである。焼鈍分離剤中にBiOClは4%添加している。鏡面化状態の調査は、幅60mm×長さ300mmの試料を仕上げ焼鈍時にホイルを用いてパッキングする時に、一重にしたものと三重にしたものを作成した。これは、実コイルと比較して小さな試験片を用いてコイルの各部分の差異を評価するためである。すなわち一重パックはコイルの端部で雰囲気の流通性の良好な部分を、三重パックはコイルの内部で雰囲気流通性の低い部分を表すとして評価した。一重、三重パックとも極めて良好な鏡面である場合が◎、両方とも鏡面である場合○、どちらかにフォルステライトの残存あるいはアルミナの焼き付きが見られる場合△、それ以外を×とした。
【0019】
この結果から、MgOのクエン酸活性値とMgOとAl2 O3 混合比のそれぞれについて最適範囲が存在することがわかる。Al2 O3 とMgOの混合割合が重量比で3:7〜7:3の間で平滑度の良好な鏡面が得られる。更に混合したMgOのクエン酸活性値が100〜300の範囲では極めて良好な平滑面が得られることが判明した。両方の範囲が外れるところでは一重、三重パックのどちらかの仕上げ焼鈍条件で表面平滑度が劣る場合があった。
【0020】
また、BiOCl添加量を0.5〜15質量%に限定するのは、0.5%未満では表面平滑化効果が十分ではなく、15%超ではBiOClが仕上げ焼鈍中に消失するため局部的に焼鈍分離剤としての効果が低下し、鋼板同士の焼き付きが生じるためである。さらに好ましくは従来の方法では得られない非常に良好な鏡面状態が達成できることから、3〜7%の範囲が良い。
【0021】
図2は本発明範囲であるMgOとAl2 O3 の混合比率を1:1とした結果の顕微鏡写真であり、図3はMgOとAl2 O3 の混合比率を1:5に、図4はMgO:Al2 O3 が5:1にしたものにそれぞれBiOClを5%添加した焼鈍分離剤を用いて仕上げ焼鈍を行った後、水洗した試料の表面外観である。使用したMgOはクエン酸活性値が187で平均粒径は3.21μmであった。図3ではAl2 O3 の焼き付きが見られ全体が白っぽくなっており、図4ではフォルステライトが残存して平滑度が低くなっているのがわかる。それに対して図2ではAl2 O3 の焼き付きもフォルステライトの残存もほとんど無い極めて平滑な鏡面が形成できていることがわかる。
【0022】
本発明にて極めて良好な平滑表面が得られるメカニズムは詳細には明らかではないが、本発明では通常の電磁鋼板にて形成される1次被膜と同様にフォルステライト被膜がまず形成するが、Al2 O3 が特定量混合されているため、通常の電磁鋼板に形成されるような強固な被膜に成らず、その後BiOClの働きでフォルステライト皮膜が剥離すると推定される。
【0023】
MgOのクエン酸活性値を100〜300の間に限定する理由は、100未満ではフォルステライトの残存が多くなり、300超ではAl2 O3 の焼き付き発生の恐れがあるためである。
さらにMgOの平均粒径を1〜10μmに限定する理由は、1μm未満では鋼板と鋼板の間隔が狭く仕上げ焼鈍中の雰囲気流れが悪化して磁性のバラツキが生じ易くなるためであり、10μm超では押し疵の原因となる恐れがあるからである。
【0024】
本発明におけるビスマス塩化物とはBiOCl(オキシ塩化ビスマス)、BiCl3 (三塩化ビスマス)などであるが、ビスマス化合物と金属の塩素化合物を焼鈍分離剤中に含有させた場合でも仕上げ焼鈍の昇温中にBiOClを生成することが判明していることから、ビスマス塩化物の代わりにビスマス化合物と金属の塩素化合物を用いても良い。ビスマス化合物の例としては、炭酸ビスマス、水酸化ビスマス、りん酸ビスマス、硝酸ビスマス、硫酸ビスマス、酸化ビスマス、ハロゲン化ビスマス、硫化ビスマス、有機酸ビスマスの1種あるいは2種以上の混合物、金属の塩素化合物の例としては、塩化鉄、塩化コバルト、塩化ニッケルの1種あるいは2種以上の混合物が使用できる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet having a mirror surface and extremely low iron loss, and in particular, a method for producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet that smoothes the steel sheet surface during finish annealing and improves iron loss characteristics. It is about.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, grain-oriented electrical steel sheets are used as iron cores for transformers, etc., and since the magnetic properties of grain-oriented electrical steel plates have a great influence on the performance of transformers, diligent research has been promoted, and improvement of the magnetic properties has been attempted. Has been.
[0003]
As a means for reducing the iron loss of grain-oriented electrical steel sheets, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-26405 divides the magnetic domain by irradiating the surface of the material after finish annealing with a laser beam to impart local strain to the steel sheet. Thus, a technique for reducing iron loss is disclosed. In the case of a wound iron core, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-8617 discloses a method in which the effect of subdividing the magnetic domain is not lost even if a strain relief annealing is performed after the iron core is processed. Although these techniques have improved the iron loss level, in order to further reduce the iron loss value, the surface roughness of the steel sheet surface is removed by removing the irregularities on the surface of the steel sheet that obstruct the movement of the magnetic domains near the steel sheet surface. It is important to smooth.
[0004]
As such a steel plate surface smoothing technique, in recent years, for example, as disclosed in JP-A-7-54155, a steel plate is obtained by adding bismuth or a bismuth compound to an annealing separator used during finish annealing. There is a technique for reducing iron loss by removing irregularities on the surface of the ground iron that obstruct the movement of magnetic domains near the surface and smoothing the steel sheet.
[0005]
That is, when a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is processed by a normal manufacturing process, an oxide layer mainly composed of forsterite called a primary coating is formed on the steel sheet surface after finish annealing. Since this oxide layer is formed in a state of being deeply penetrated into the steel sheet, it becomes a hindrance to the domain wall movement and is one of the causes of an increase in iron loss. However, in the method of removing the primary coating and smoothing the steel plate, it is necessary to remove not only the primary coating on the surface of the steel plate but also the oxide layer that has entered the steel plate. Not.
[0006]
Therefore, as a method of not forming the primary film at the time of finish annealing rather than removing the primary film, Al 2 O 3 disclosed in US Pat. No. 3,785,882, hydrous silicic acid disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-3414 Research has been conducted on a technique of adding chloride to a salt mineral powder and further to an annealing separator disclosed in JP-A-64-62417. However, these methods do not achieve sufficient surface smoothness, which hinders iron loss reduction.
[0007]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-54155 discloses a technique in which bismuth chloride is added in an amount of 0.2 parts by weight or more and 15 parts by weight or less in chlorine parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the annealing separator. Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 7-173642 discloses a mixture containing bismuth alone or a bismuth compound and a metal chlorine compound, mainly composed of a metal oxide and a metal hydroxide, and a metal hydroxide ratio of 1. A technique is disclosed that reduces the iron loss by inhibiting the generation of the primary coating during finish annealing by smoothing the steel sheet surface by adjusting the content to 0 to 25% by weight.
However, in these techniques, when the coiled grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is subjected to finish annealing, there is a problem that a primary film is partially formed or a metal oxide is seized and difficult to remove.
[0008]
In JP-A-7-278676, as a means for solving such unevenness of surface smoothness, the reaction start temperature of chloride and hydrogen is set to 600 ° C. or higher so that the surface smoothness is improved. A technique for uniformly realizing a good steel sheet over a wide area is disclosed. This technique increases the decomposition temperature of BiOCl by controlling the atmospheric gas during the finish annealing and the hydration moisture in the annealing separator, and tries to generate a certain amount of HCl.
[0009]
The technique disclosed in JP-A-7-278676 has made it possible to uniformly suppress the formation of forsterite, which is a main component of the primary coating, over a wide range of the steel sheet surface. There was a problem that the Al 2 O 3 used as baked on the steel plate surface. When Al 2 O 3 is baked on the surface of the steel sheet, it is difficult to remove it using means such as pickling or brushing.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
It is an object of the present invention to provide an industrial means for obtaining a low iron loss by inhibiting the formation of a primary coating and smoothing the surface of a steel sheet in a finish annealing process of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet. Even if it exists, the method of obtaining the mirror surface which is uniform and does not have seizure of a metal oxide etc. is provided.
[0011]

[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is described in further detail below.
Usually, when a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is processed in a general process, silicon in the steel is very easily oxidized, so that an oxide film containing silicon is formed on the steel sheet surface after decarburization annealing. When an annealing separator containing MgO as the main component is used, MgO reacts with the oxide film on the surface of the steel plate during finish annealing to form a forsterite film, but bismuth chloride, or bismuth compound and metal chlorine. When both compounds are present in the annealing separator, the oxide layer on the steel sheet surface is removed.
[0014]
However, since the forsterite is very stable, partly due to the influence of atmospheric variations and temperature deviation of bismuth chloride, or both bismuth compound and a metal chlorine compounds are in the annealing even when present in the MgO Therefore, when MgO is used as an annealing separator, it is very difficult industrially to completely suppress the formation of forsterite during finish annealing.
[0015]
In the case of an annealing separator mainly composed of a metal oxide other than MgO, the metal oxide partially seizes on the surface of the steel sheet. Although flattening annealing is performed, the operation of removing the seized metal oxide as a whole coil is very difficult and not industrial.
[0016]
Therefore, the present inventors considered not to completely suppress the production of forsterite, but to make the produced forsterite easy to peel off and to prevent seizure of the metal oxide. That is, MgO is mixed in an amount necessary for forming forsterite as an annealing separator, and the generated forsterite is easily peeled off by the action of BiOCl, so that the annealing separator itself does not stick to the steel sheet surface. Alternatively, even if seized, it can be easily removed, so that the surface of the coiled steel plate is industrially smoothed uniformly.
[0017]
As a result of intensive studies on the properties of MgO and various metal oxides and their properties as an annealing separator, the present inventors have added the bismuth chloride to a mixture of a specific ratio of MgO and Al 2 O 3 to realize the above idea. It was found that a smooth surface of a uniform steel plate can be obtained even in a coil state, and the present invention was completed based on this.
[0018]
First, the reasons for limiting the production method of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 shows the mirror state when the mixing ratio of Al 2 O 3 and MgO in the annealing separator and the citric acid activity value of MgO are changed. 4% BiOCl is added to the annealing separator. In the investigation of the mirror-finished state, when a sample having a width of 60 mm and a length of 300 mm was packed with foil during finish annealing, a single layer and a triple layer were prepared. This is because the difference in each part of the coil is evaluated using a small test piece compared to the actual coil. That is, the single pack was evaluated as a portion having good atmosphere circulation at the end of the coil, and the triple pack was evaluated as representing a portion having low atmosphere circulation in the coil. The case where both single and triple packs had very good mirror surfaces was marked with ◎, when both were mirror surfaces, ◯, when forsterite remained or alumina seizure was observed on either side, Δ, and otherwise.
[0019]
From this result, it is understood that there are optimum ranges for the citric acid activity value of MgO and the mixing ratio of MgO and Al 2 O 3 . A mirror surface with good smoothness can be obtained when the mixing ratio of Al 2 O 3 and MgO is 3: 7 to 7: 3 by weight. Furthermore, it was found that an extremely good smooth surface can be obtained when the citric acid activity value of the mixed MgO is in the range of 100 to 300. Where both ranges are out of range, the surface smoothness may be inferior under either the single or triple pack finish annealing conditions.
[0020]
Further, the amount of BiOCl added is limited to 0.5 to 15% by mass because if less than 0.5%, the surface smoothing effect is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 15%, BiOCl disappears during finish annealing locally. This is because the effect as an annealing separator is reduced, and seizure between steel sheets occurs. More preferably, the range of 3 to 7% is good because a very good mirror state that cannot be obtained by the conventional method can be achieved.
[0021]
FIG. 2 is a photomicrograph of the result of setting the mixing ratio of MgO and Al 2 O 3 in the present invention to 1: 1, and FIG. 3 shows the mixing ratio of MgO and Al 2 O 3 to 1: 5. Is the surface appearance of a sample washed with water after finishing annealing using an annealing separator obtained by adding 5% BiOCl to MgO: Al 2 O 3 of 5: 1. MgO used had a citric acid activity value of 187 and an average particle size of 3.21 μm. In FIG. 3, the burning of Al 2 O 3 is seen and the whole is whitish. In FIG. 4, it can be seen that forsterite remains and the smoothness is low. On the other hand, in FIG. 2, it can be seen that an extremely smooth mirror surface with almost no Al 2 O 3 image sticking or remaining forsterite can be formed.
[0022]
Although the mechanism by which an extremely good smooth surface is obtained in the present invention is not clear in detail, in the present invention, a forsterite film is first formed in the same manner as a primary film formed on a normal electromagnetic steel sheet. Since a specific amount of 2 O 3 is mixed, it is presumed that the forsterite film is not peeled off by the action of BiOCl after forming a strong film as formed on a normal electromagnetic steel sheet.
[0023]
The reason why the citric acid activity value of MgO is limited to 100 to 300 is that if it is less than 100, forsterite remains, and if it exceeds 300, Al 2 O 3 may be seized.
Furthermore, the reason why the average particle diameter of MgO is limited to 1 to 10 μm is that if the distance is less than 1 μm, the gap between the steel plates is narrow and the atmosphere flow during finish annealing is deteriorated and magnetic variations are likely to occur. This is because there is a risk of pushing down.

The bismuth chloride in the present invention is BiOCl (bismuth oxychloride), BiCl 3 (bismuth trichloride) or the like. Even when a bismuth compound and a metal chlorine compound are contained in the annealing separator, the temperature rise of the finish annealing is increased. Since it has been found that BiOCl is produced therein, a bismuth compound and a metal chlorine compound may be used instead of bismuth chloride. Examples of bismuth compounds include bismuth carbonate, bismuth hydroxide, bismuth phosphate, bismuth nitrate, bismuth sulfate, bismuth oxide, bismuth halide, bismuth sulfide, a mixture of two or more organic acids, As an example of the chlorine compound, one or a mixture of two or more of iron chloride, cobalt chloride, and nickel chloride can be used.
