The present invention relates to a hot-rolled steel strip for further processing to form non-grain oriented electrical sheet with the following composition (in % by weight) C: &#x3c;0.02%, Mn: &#x2266;1.2%, Si: 0.1-4.4%, Al 0.1-4.4%, wherein the sum formed from the Si content and twice the Al content is &#x3c;5%, P: &#x3c;0.15%, Sn: &#x2266;0.20%, Sb: &#x2266;0.20%, the remainder iron and unavoidable impurities, with a strip thickness which is at most 1.8 mm, and with a partially softened structure which is characterised by a high intensity for the &#x3b1; fibre (fibre representation of orientation distribution functions) in the region of 0&#xb0; to 60&#xb0;, wherein the ratio I/Iformed from the intensity Iof the position (112) &#x3c;110&#x3e; to the intensity Iof the position (001) &#x3c;110&#x3e; is &#x3e;0.4 and the ratio I/Iformed from the intensity Iof the position (111) &#x3c;110&#x3e; to the intensity Iof the position (001) &#x3c;110&#x3e; is &#x3e;0.2.
