Patent ID: 11560604

Abstract:
Provided is a ferritic stainless steel in which cracking is unlikely to be caused in the vicinity of a weld zone by the stress due to expansion, contraction, and deformation due to the thermal effect of welding in the case of performing welding after deep drawing and which is excellent in corrosion resistance in the vicinity of the weld zone.The ferritic stainless steel has a composition containing C: 0.001% to 0.020%, Si: 0.01% to 0.30%, Mn: 0.01% to 0.50%, P: 0.04% or less, S: 0.01% or less, Cr: 18.0% to 24.0%, Ni: 0.01% to 0.40%, Mo: 0.30% to 3.0%, Al: 0.01% to 0.15%, Ti: 0.01% to 0.50%, Nb: 0.01% to 0.50%, V: 0.01% to 0.50%, Co: 0.01% to 6.00%, B: 0.0002% to 0.0050%, and N: 0.001% to 0.020% on a mass basis, the remainder being Fe and inevitable impurities. The composition satisfies 0.30%≤Ti+Nb+V≤0.60%.
