1. A non-oriented electrical steel sheet having a chemical composition comprising C: not more than 0.0050 mass %, Si: 3.6 to 6.5 mass %, Mn: 0.05 to 2.0 mass %, P: not more than 0.10 mass %, S: not more than 0.0050 mass %, Al: 0.7 to 2.0 mass %, N: not more than 0.0050 mass %, Zn: 0.0005 to 0.0050 mass %, Ti: not more than 0.0030 mass %, Nb: not more than 0.0030 mass %, O: not more than 0.0050 mass % and the remainder being Fe and inevitable impurities, characterized in that t, N1 and N2 satisfy the following equation (1):
(t×N2)/{(t/10)×N1}≥5.0 (1),
where t (mm) represents a steel sheet thickness, N1 (mass %) represents a concentration of nitrogen present as AlN in a layer from a one-side surface of the steel sheet to a depth of 1/20 of the sheet thickness, and N2 (mass %) represents a nitrogen concentration present as AlN in an entire sheet thickness.
