Abstract

A forsterite insulating film having a good adhesion property to a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet with a high magnetic induction is composed of forsterite grains having a mean grain size of not more than 0.7 .mu.m. The forsterite insulating film is formed by annealing a coil of a cold rolled silicon steel strip having a final gauge in an annealing furnace under an inert gas atmosphere at a constant temperature keeping stage of 800.degree.-920.degree. C so as to fully develop secondary recrystallized grains and then under hydrogen gas atmosphere at a temperature rising stage up to 1,150.degree.-1,250.degree. C and a constant temperature keeping stage of 1,150.degree.-1,250.degree. C during the final annealing, provided that an average dew point of the atmosphere is within a range of -20.degree. C to +20.degree. C in the temperature rising stage up to 1,150.degree.-1,250.degree. C and not more than +10.degree. C in the constant temperature keeping stage of 1,150.degree.-1,250.degree. C.
