Abstract

Method of manufacturing a grain oriented silicon steel sheet. An annealing separating agent mainly composed of MgO is coated on a surface of a decarburized silicon steel sheet. The silicon steel sheet is subjected to secondary recrystallization annealing and then purification annealing. The annealing separating agent contains Ti oxide or a Ti compound which can be oxidized by heating. The purification annealing is conducted in steps. A non-oxidizing atmosphere having a high nitrogen concentration is present in one step. A hydrogen atmosphere having a low nitrogen concentration is present in a subsequent step.
