METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A GRAIN-ORIENTED ELECTRICAL STEEL SHEET

Provided is a method for manufacturing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet. A steel slab having a specific chemical composition is heated and hot rolled. A hot-rolled steel sheet thus obtained is subjected to hot band annealing to obtain a cold-rolled steel sheet, which is then subjected to primary recrystallization annealing to obtain a primary recrystallized steel sheet.
