  • the present invention finds a measure for solving the problems described above by clarifying the relationship between the amounts of Sn and Cu and hot manufacturability in a general-purpose duplex stainless steel. Due to this, the object of the present invention is to provide an Sn-containing duplex stainless steel, a cast steel of a duplex stainless steel, and a duplex stainless steel material which are inexpensive and have favorable hot manufacturability.
  • Such a duplex stainless steel is expected to have an excellent balance between corrosion resistance and cost. For this reason, it is considered that the possibility that the duplex stainless steel will be widely used in various fields is high.
  • an object of a second aspect (a second embodiment) of the invention is to develop an inexpensive general-purpose duplex stainless steel where the amounts of Ni and Mo, which are expensive elements, are reduced by increasing the amounts of N and Mn and adding a combination of Cu and Sn.
  • the present inventors prepared melted materials where the amount of Sn and the amounts of Ca, B, rare earth elements (REM), or the like were changed and performed the following experiments.
  • the amounts of Ca, B, rare earth elements (REM), or the like are said to improve the hot manufacturability.
  • Tensile test pieces were collected from cast steels which were cast from the melted materials.
  • High temperature tensile test was performed at a temperature of 1200 to 700°C with respect to the tensile test pieces, and the high temperature ductility was evaluated by measuring the reduction of area (cross-sectional reduction ratio of the fracture surface).
  • a hot-rolled steel plate with a plate thickness of 12 mm was obtained by hot forging and hot rolling and the edge cracking resistance was evaluated.
  • the edge cracking resistance was evaluated by changing the heating temperature and the rolling temperature of the hot rolling with respect to a part of the steel, and a correlation of the heating temperature and the rolling temperature of the hot rolling with the high temperature ductility was determined.
  • the present inventors observed an edge cracking length which was generated when a cast steel of an alloy-saving type Sn-containing duplex stainless steel, which was obtained by vacuum melting and casting, was subjected to hot rolling. As a result, it was found that there rarely exists a cast steel of an Sn-containing duplex stainless steel in which a number of edge cracks is small.
  • Hot rolling experiments were performed as follows. First, a cast steel with a thickness of 90 to 44 mm was heated to 1200°C. Next, the thickness of the cast steel was reduced to a thickness of 12 to 6 mm by a plurality of rolling passes. The finishing rolling temperature was controlled to be approximately 900°C.
  • Edge cracking was generated on the left and right sides and the maximum lengths on both sides were totaled to obtain the edge cracking length. Even when the edge cracking length of the steel material was looked upon as being related to the minimum value (the minimum value is obtained at approximately 900°C in FIG. 1 ) of the reduction of area of the high temperature ductility of the cast steel, it was not possible to obtain a clear correlation. However, when the edge cracking length was looked upon as being related to the reduction of area at 1000°C as shown in FIG. 2 , it was clear that a good correlation is exhibited regardless of whether or not Sn is contained.
