Abstract

Provided is a non-oriented electrical steel sheet with low high-frequency iron loss without addition of a large amount of alloying elements such as Cr, which causes a decrease in magnetic flux density, and without reduction of the sheet thickness, which causes a decrease in productivity. A non-oriented electrical steel sheet comprises a certain chemical composition containing 0.0005 mass % to 0.0050 mass % of Co, wherein an amount of N existing as AlN in a range from a surface of the non-oriented electrical steel sheet to a depth of 1/20 of a sheet thickness is 0.003 mass % or less, the surface has an oxide layer containing Fe and one or both of Al and Si, and an interface between the oxide layer and a steel substrate has an oxide film consisting of one or both of Al oxide and Si oxide.
