Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet having few flaws and excellent magnetic properties by continuous casting. 2. Description of the Related Art Grain-oriented silicon steel sheets are mainly used as iron core materials for transformers and other electric equipment, and basically have excellent magnetic properties such as magnetic flux density and iron loss value. Is important. In recent years, from the viewpoint of resource saving, energy saving, or prevention of deterioration of living environment, iron core materials for electrical equipment have been required to reduce power loss, increase efficiency, and reduce noise. [0003] A particularly important step in the production of grain-oriented silicon steel sheets is the so-called final finishing annealing, which is carried out by reducing primary recrystallized grains by 11%.
It is to recrystallize crystal grains of 0 0 <001> orientation. In order to effectively promote such secondary recrystallized grains, a dispersed phase called an inhibitor for suppressing the growth of primary recrystallized grains is required. Typical examples of such inhibitors are sulfides and nitrides such as MnS, MnSe, AlN and VN, and substances having extremely low solubility in steel are used. Further, grain boundary segregation elements such as Sb, Sn, As, Pb, Ge, Cu, and Mo are also used as inhibitors. The effect of these inhibitors is achieved by dispersing the inhibitors to a uniform and appropriate size prior to final finish annealing. For this reason, at present, the slab is heated to a high temperature before hot rolling, the inhibitor element is sufficiently dissolved, and the precipitation and dispersion state is controlled in the steps from the hot rolling step to the secondary recrystallization. . [0004] The other is that the primary recrystallized grain structure obtained by one or more cold rollings and one or more annealings is composed of appropriately sized grains throughout the thickness direction. , And a uniform size. It is well known that ensuring these two conditions is important. By the way, in the recent steel making process, the slab manufacturing method has largely changed from the ingot making / bulking method to the continuous casting method. When such a continuous casting method is simply applied to a unidirectional silicon steel, for example, as disclosed in JP-A-48-101317, columnar grains formed by rapid solidification inherent in the continuous casting method are used to form the slab. Abnormal growth is likely to occur by heating, and remains as coarsely stretched grains after hot rolling, and the coarsely stretched grains remain without recrystallization even after cold rolling and annealing, and in the final finish annealing, {110} <001> It has been clarified that secondary recrystallization of the orientation becomes incomplete, that is, a so-called band-like fine grain structure, which causes deterioration of magnetic properties. [0005] It is also well known that continuous casting slabs have pinhole-like defects and segregation at the center of the thickness which is the final solidification position. On the other hand, when continuous casting is performed while adding electromagnetic stirring, columnar crystals due to band-like fine grains are reduced, but it is also known that a white band of negative segregation is generated. Moreover, C, Si,
Components such as S, Se, and N segregate remarkably from the center. For this reason, the slab heating conditions for forming a solid solution of the inhibitor require much higher temperature and longer time than those originally designed, and there is a problem that the slab grains are remarkably coarsened and the generation of band-like fine grains is increased. . Generally, slabs are heated to relatively low temperatures (1250-
1380 ° C) for a long time and relatively high temperature (13
80-1470 ° C) for a short time. [0006] In recent years, electrical methods have been adopted for heating slabs of special steel due to the fact that high temperature and uniform heating are easy, the atmosphere is easily controlled, and the thermal efficiency is good. However, when the continuous cast slab is heated to a temperature close to the melting point, the molten steel is partially melted because the degree of melting point drop due to component segregation has not been grasped, and accordingly, the steel sheet has defects such as barbs, holes or blisters. There is a problem that causes. Conversely, if the heating temperature is set lower, the solution of the inhibitor will be insufficient, resulting in a problem of secondary recrystallization failure. [0007] As a method for preventing the above-mentioned band-like fine particles,
No. 27820 and Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 50-37009 each disclose a technique for producing a hot rolled sheet from a continuously cast slab through two hot rolling steps in a method for producing a oriented silicon steel sheet and a high magnetic flux density silicon steel sheet. Although disclosed, no mention is made of barge, hole and blister defects due to partial melting. In JP-A-3-115529, a pressure of 1 to 10% is applied before heating the slab, and then the slab is heated to a temperature range in which a part of the slab grain is melted, and then kept at 1380 to 1440 ° C. for 5 to 60 minutes. A method for doing so is disclosed. Although this technique is effective in suppressing a part of the grain boundary segregation and suppressing the coarsening of the slab grain, it is sometimes difficult to control the slab grain to be partially melted industrially. [0009] Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-41526 discloses a technique in which continuous casting is performed while applying electromagnetic stirring to suppress 95% or more of the crystal grains constituting the equiaxed crystal region at the center of the slab to less than 9 mm 2. are doing. This technique does not solve the problem of dense segregation near the white band. In Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-44734, a white band is set to 1 / th of the slab thickness from the slab surface.
A technique using a slab generated at 5 or more central positions is disclosed. In this technique, the position where the white band is generated is simply moved to the center, and the problem of dense segregation remains. In Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-43446, electromagnetic stirring or ultrasonic vibration is applied during continuous casting, the volume ratio of columnar crystals is adjusted to 30 to 70%, and secondary cooling is performed according to the slab heating temperature. This is a technique that uses elongation, and the problem of dense segregation of components is still unsolved as in the above-described disclosed technique. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention advantageously solves the above-mentioned problems, and is a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet having few defects such as barbs, holes, and blisters caused by slab heating and having excellent magnetic properties. The purpose of the present invention is to propose a manufacturing method. Means for Solving the Problems In an experiment using a continuously cast slab as a material, the present inventors frequently found defects such as barbs, holes and blisters on a steel sheet, even if the magnetic properties were good. I encountered a problem where the product value was lost. As a result of elucidating this problem diligently, the present inventors have recalled that these defects have a close relationship with the presence of dense component segregation in the slab, the presence of pinhole-shaped internal defects, and the slab heating conditions, and have reached the present invention. That is, according to the present invention, a molten steel of silicon-containing steel is formed into a slab by continuous casting, and the slab is heated and then subjected to hot rolling, and then subjected to one or two or more cold rollings with intermediate annealing. After finishing to the final sheet thickness, decarburizing annealing is performed, and then a directional silicon steel sheet is manufactured by a series of steps of applying an annealing separating agent to the steel sheet surface and then performing finish annealing. During the casting, the direction of application of the electromagnetic stirring is alternately changed at intervals of 5 to 30 seconds and cast.
Further, a method for producing a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet excellent in magnetic properties with few steel sheet flaws, characterized in that a slab is given a pre-strain of 2 to 20% at 1000 ° C. or more and then heated to 1380 ° C. to 1450 ° C. . Next, the experimental results that led to the above findings will be described in detail. C: 0.072%, Si: 3.15%, Mn: 0.073
%, Se: 0.018%, Sb: 0.025%, Al: 0.026%, and N: 0.0080% were made into slabs by continuous casting under the following conditions. The continuous casting conditions include casting without any additional treatment, casting while applying electromagnetic stirring in one direction,
The slabs were subjected to 5% processing at 1200 ° C., and then gradually cooled after changing the direction of application of the electromagnetic stirring every 20 seconds. 215m treated in this way
A 200 x 200 mm test piece was cut out from a m-thick slab, heated in a small induction heating furnace in a nitrogen atmosphere at 1340-1480 ° C for 30 minutes, and subsequently hot-rolled into a 2.0 mm thick hot-rolled sheet.
After the end treatment, the product was finished to a final thickness of 0.23 mm by a known cold single process. In order to evaluate the product steel sheet, the presence or absence of various defects in the steel sheet is determined by dividing the steel sheet into blocks each having a length of 2 m, and the number of blocks having the corresponding defect is divided by the total number of blocks and multiplied by 100 to obtain the incidence rate. Defined. FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the continuous casting conditions, the presence or absence of pre-processing, and the incidence rate of defects in the product steel sheet. As is clear from FIG. 1, it was found that when the direction in which the electromagnetic stirring was applied was alternately changed during continuous casting, there was an effect of suppressing barge, hole and blister defects. FIG. 2 shows a conceptual diagram of a segregation state in which a sulfur print and a change in components in the thickness direction of the slab before the slab heating are examined. In the case of a slab, remarkable segregation has occurred at the center of the final solidification position.
A white band is generated at the position of / 4, and segregation more remarkable than center segregation is generated inside the white band. In the case of the slab, the white band disappears, and the dense segregation generated inside the white band position in the slab is reduced. In the case of the slab, it was found that segregation was slightly reduced as compared with the slab, and that the cavities such as pinholes observed in the slab had disappeared. Pre-processed slabs are maintained at 1200 ° C, and distortion due to processing promotes uniform diffusion of components, segregation is reduced, and hot strength is higher than other slabs because slab grains are refined. It is presumed that it has become. From the above investigation of the slab material before heating and the results shown in FIG. 1, the slab heating temperature is close to the melting point, and a portion where segregation is remarkable dissolves partly. It is considered that fine cracks are generated during rolling, and are oxidized in the atmosphere when they pass through the surface of the steel sheet. If the cracks during hot rolling are small, the cracks are formed, and if they are large, holes are generated. On the other hand, regarding blisters, N dissolved in steel
It is considered that a part of the gas components such as gasified at a high temperature or a high temperature melting region and swells during heating starting from internal defects such as pinholes. Therefore, blistering is extremely rare in steels that do not use AlN as an inhibitor. The melting start temperature generally varies depending on the type and content of the components constituting the steel. Particularly, in the case where the composition of the steel is such that the precipitates such as carbide nitrides or the composite precipitates thereof are formed, In addition to the type and content of the elements and the heat history after casting, the precipitation state of the precipitates is affected, so that the temperature at which partial melting is performed changes. Therefore, it is difficult to uniquely determine the melting start temperature of the slab. For example, when C or Si is contained, the melting start temperature changes as follows according to the content. C: 3 / .degree. C. per 0.01% Si: 2.5 / .degree. C. per 0.1% Incidentally, the melting start temperature in the steel component system used in the experiment shown in FIG. there were. On the other hand, if the slab heating temperature is lowered to less than 1380 ° C, the above-mentioned steel sheet defects can be prevented, but the solid solution of the inhibitor component requires a long time of 60 minutes or more, and the electric heating method is economical. Heating in the range of 1380 to 1450 ° C. for 5 to 60 minutes is desirable because it is disadvantageous. Next, in order to clarify the effect of the preliminary processing before slab heating on the blister defect of the steel sheet, the same slab as that used in FIG. The experiment was performed while changing the reheating temperature and the pre-processing rate. The slab was heated at 1450 ° C. for 30 minutes, and the subsequent processing steps were performed in the same manner as in the experiment shown in FIG. The results obtained are shown in FIG. From FIG. 3, it was found that in order to suppress the occurrence of blistering, a pre-processing at a temperature of 1000 ° C. or more and a processing of 2% or more was necessary. It is not clear why the processing temperature is 1000 ° C or more and the processing rate is 2% or more in order to suppress the occurrence of blistering. However, the above conditions are required for pressing the cavities such as pinholes, and the processing temperature and processing rate are low. If too large, it is considered that it is insufficient to press-bond defects such as cavities. On the other hand, if the working ratio exceeds 20%, the effect of breaking and refining the slab structure coarsened by the reduction of the hot rolling reduction decreases, so the upper limit is limited to 20%. Next, the effect of the electrical inversion interval of the electromagnetic stirring direction on the degree of component segregation was examined. FIG. 4 shows C:
0.070%, Si: 3.20%, Mn: 0.071%, Se: 0.019%,
When continuously casting molten steel containing Sb: 0.024%, Al: 0.026% and N: 0.0082%, electromagnetic stirring was applied in one direction or by inverting at intervals of 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60 seconds. Then, the C and Si components in the thickness direction of the corresponding slab are investigated, and the segregation index (defined by the ratio between the maximum component content and the molten steel component content)
Is shown. In order to reduce the maximum segregation index of C and Si which are not melted by high temperature heating to 1.2 or 1.04 or less, respectively, the electrical switching interval of the electromagnetic stirring direction is preferably 5 to 30 seconds, and if less than 5 seconds, the electrical switching is performed. However, it is considered that the effect is small because the stirring direction does not follow and is incomplete. Another reason is that when the switching interval time is long, it approaches one-way electromagnetic stirring. It is needless to say that not only electromagnetic stirring but also stirring such as ultrasonic vibration is effective as means for stirring molten steel during continuous casting. From FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 described above, it has been found that the following must be followed in order to manufacture a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet while preventing a steel sheet flaw. During continuous casting, the direction of electromagnetic stirring is changed at intervals of 5 to 30 seconds. Preliminary processing of 2-20% is performed at 1000-1300 ° C. The slab heating of the inhibitor solid solution is performed at 1380-1450 ° C. A desirable heating time is 5 to 60 minutes. The silicon-containing steel as the material of the present invention includes:
Although any of conventionally known component compositions are suitable, representative compositions are as follows. C: 0.025 to 0.10 wt% If C is less than 0.025%, the effect of making the crystal structure uniform in the middle of the process is small, while if it is more than 0.10%, decarburization annealing becomes difficult, and the magnetic properties deteriorate, so that 0.025 to 0.10%
% Is desirable. Si: 2.5-4.0 wt% Si is necessary to increase the specific resistance and reduce the eddy current loss, but if it is less than 2.5%, the effect of addition is poor, while 4.0%
If it exceeds 2,000, brittle cracking is likely to occur during cold rolling, so that the content is preferably in the range of 2.5 to 4.0%. Mn: Mn requires 0.03% or more to prevent cracking during hot rolling.
However, if it exceeds 0.12%, the magnetic properties deteriorate, so that the content is preferably in the range of 0.03 to 0.12%. The total of one or more selected from S, Se and Al is 0.01 to 0.15%. Each of S, Se and Al effectively functions as an inhibitor. If it is less than 0.10%, complete secondary recrystallized grains cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.15%, not only cracks are likely to occur at the time of cold rolling, but also S and Se are not sufficiently purified by finish annealing. Therefore, it is desirable to add within the range of 0.010 to 0.15%. The inhibitors described above include S, Se, and Al.
In addition, Cu, Sn, Mo, P and the like can be advantageously contained, so that they can be contained together in small amounts. Here, the preferred addition ranges of the above components are Cu, Sn: 0.01 to 0.15%, and Mo: 0.0
05% to 0.1%, P: 0.01 to 0.2%, and these inhibitor components can be used alone or in combination. In continuously casting molten steel satisfying the above-mentioned component conditions, it is important to change the direction of application of electromagnetic stirring at intervals of 5 to 30 seconds to reduce segregation. The obtained slab is usually subjected to solid solution treatment of the inhibitor by slab heating. Usually, for solid solution treatment of inhibitors, at 1250 ° C or higher,
In addition, holding is performed for a long time at a relatively low temperature, and is used for a short time at a high temperature. On the other hand, in the method of the present invention, a reduction of 2 to 20% is applied to the slab, segregation serving as a starting point of partial melting is reduced by diffusion, and a blowhole such as a pinhole serving as a starting point is press-bonded to a blister. The inhibitor is dissolved by electric heating in the range of 1380 to 1450 ° C, preferably for 5 to 60 minutes. In order to form a solid solution of the inhibitor by heating for a short time of 5 to 60 minutes, the lower limit is 1380 ° C., and if it exceeds 1450 ° C., a liquid is partially generated and a steel sheet flaw is generated. The heating to the temperature range of 1380 to 1450 ° C. includes the fact that it is easy to form a closed structure, the oxygen concentration can be reduced, the oxidation can be prevented by a protective gas, the temperature can be controlled, and the heating can be efficiently performed at high temperature. For this reason, it is advantageous to use an electric heating furnace such as an induction heating furnace or a resistance heating furnace. Heating to 1000 ° C or more and preferably 1300 ° C or less when pre-processing 2 to 20% of the slab is not only electric heating but also gas or heavy oil heating furnace which is economically advantageous in the low temperature heating area. Is also applicable. After the inhibitor is solid-solved by heating the slab,

Preliminary processing was applied to reduce the segregation of components in the slab, to eliminate internal defects such as pinholes by pressing, to refine the coarse slab structure, and then to dissolve the inhibitor by heating the slab. Since it can prevent bark, hole and blister defects, and can prevent band-like fine particles, it greatly contributes to quality improvement.
