The invention relates to grain-oriented pure iron manufactured through adopting a single cold rolling method and a method. The method comprises the steps of converter smelting, liquid steel refining through a vacuum cycle degassing process, continuous casting, slab heating, hot rolling, normalizing, cold rolling and annealing, wherein after the continuous casting step, an obtained continuous cast slab comprises the following components by mass percent: 0.01 to 0.08% of C, 0.01 to 1.0% of Si, 0.05 to 0.5% of Mn, 0.01 to 0.1% of P, 0.003 to 0.01% of S, 0.005 to 0.05% of Als, 0.005 to 0.02% of N and 0.05 to 0.8% of Cu, and the balance being Fe; in the hot rolling process, the content of gamma phases obtained during finish rolling is controlled to be 10 to 30% by mass percent; in the normalizing step, the temperature of 650 to 800 DEG C is maintained for 30 to 600 s; and the annealing step comprises decarburizing annealing and high temperature annealing. According to the method, the grain-oriented pure iron which has high saturation magnetic induction intension and sharp {110}<001> preferred orientation can be obtained through utilizing conventional production devices of conventional iron and steel enterprises, through utilizing means such as component design, reasonable cooperation of inhibitor composition and appropriate setting of rolling and thermal treatment technologies, and through utilizing a traditional thick slab production technology.
