Abstract

Grooves are formed on a finish-annealed electrical steel sheet by applying a mean load of from 90 to 220 kg/mm.sup.2 to the steel sheet, which is then heat treated at a temperature of 750.degree. C. or higher, and thereby fine crystal grains are generated at the strain-introduced sites of the steel sheet. The fine crystal grain reduces the watt-loss value. Such a watt-loss improving effect is not impaired even by stress-relief annealing.
