Abstract
A method for manufacturing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet includes: a silicon steel material production process of producing a silicon steel material; a hot rolling process of obtaining a hot rolled sheet by subjecting the silicon steel material to hot rolling; a cold rolling process of obtaining a steel sheet having a final sheet thickness by subjecting the hot rolled sheet to a single cold rolling process or to multiple cold rolling processes having intermediate annealing performed between cold rolling processes; a decarburization annealing process of subjecting the steel sheet to decarburization annealing using a decarburization annealing furnace including a heating area and a soaking area; and a final annealing process of applying an annealing separator having alumina as a main component to the steel sheet and subjecting the steel sheet to final annealing, wherein, in the decarburization annealing process, when X represents the Cr content of the silicon steel material in terms of mass %, an oxidation degree P1 of an atmosphere gas in the heating area satisfies the following Expression 1 and an oxidation degree P2 of an atmosphere gas in the soaking area satisfies the following Expression 2:0.18−0.008≤1≤0.25+0.15≤0.20 (Expression 1); and0.01≤2≤0.15 (Expression 2).
