Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ferritic stainless steel sheet having excellent corrosion resistance, only a small quantity of surface defects, and excellent toughness.
  • a ferritic stainless steel sheet which does not contain Ni in a large amount, is a material having a lower price and more excellent price stability than those of an austenitic stainless steel sheet.
  • ferritic stainless steel sheets are used in various applications such as building materials, transport machine, home electrical appliances, and kitchen appliances, since they are excellent in terms of rust resistance.
  • the kind of ferritic stainless steel sheet which is used particularly in a harsh corrosive environment is a SUS443J1-type stainless steel sheet (JIS G 4305), which has excellent corrosion resistance equivalent to that of a SUS304-type stainless steel sheet (JIS G 4305, 18-mass%-Cr-8-mass%-Ni-based), which is an austenitic stainless steel, as a result of containing 20.0 mass% to 23.0 mass% of Cr, 0.3 mass% to 0.8 mass% of Cu, and sufficient amounts of stabilizing chemical elements (Ti, Nb, and Zr).
  • SUS443J1-type stainless steel which is commonly used is SUS443J1-type stainless steel containing mainly Ti as a stabilizing chemical element.
  • Such steel is excellent in terms of workability because texture growth is promoted as a result of containing Ti.
  • it is possible to manufacture such steel by using a cold-rolled-sheet annealing and pickling line which is used for common steel, which results in high productivity.
  • streaks surface defects
  • Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 describe the prevention of surface defects and the improvement of toughness regarding Ti-containing ferritic stainless steel.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a method for manufacturing Ti-containing ferritic stainless steel having excellent roping resistance and good surface quality.
  • the surface defect of a cold-rolled and annealed steel sheet is prevented by controlling the solidifying temperature of the steel, casting temperature, and TiN-precipitating temperature in the steel so that a specified relationship is satisfied in order to control the precipitation of TiN when the molten steel is cast.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses a ferritic stainless steel sheet which has excellent toughness and good corrosion resistance and which is excellent in terms of productivity and economic efficiency and a method for manufacturing the steel sheet.
  • the toughness of a hot-rolled and annealed steel sheet and the toughness of a cold-rolled and annealed steel sheet are improved by allowing nitrides in the steel to exist in the form of ZrN.
  • WO 2008/082096 A1 discloses a high chromium ferritic stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance and excellent discoloration resistance.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a ferritic stainless steel sheet excellent in corrosion resistance in which a decrease in the quantity of surface defects and an improvement in toughness are realized at the same time and which is sufficiently softened even in the case where cold-rolled-sheet annealing is performed at a temperature equivalent to that for conventional Ti-containing SUS443J1-type stainless steel.
  • the present inventors in response to the problems described above, conducted comprehensive investigations in order to realize a decrease in the quantity of surface defects and an improvement in toughness at the same time and, as a result, found that it is possible to improve the toughness of Ti-containing SUS443J1-type stainless steel by adding appropriate amounts of Zr and Nb in combination to Ti-containing SUS443J1-type stainless steel in order to change the precipitation form of TiN, which causes a deterioration in toughness, without an increase in cold-rolled-sheet annealing temperature. Moreover, it was found that, since it is possible to precipitate Ti-based inclusions in a finely dispersed form by this effect, it is possible to decrease the quantity of surface defects of a steel sheet caused by TiN.
  • the stabilizing chemical elements Ti, Nb, and Zr
  • the content of Ti which is the main stabilizing chemical element
  • the Nb content which is equal to or less than the Ti content
  • the Zr content which is equal to or less than the Nb content
  • the mechanism of these is supposed to be as follows.
  • the present invention is based on the findings described above, and the subject matter of the present invention is as follows.
  • the C is a chemical element which is effective for improving the strength of steel. Such an effect is obtained in the case where the C content is 0.001% or more. However, in the case where the C content is more than 0.020%, there is a significant deterioration in corrosion resistance and workability. Therefore, the C content is set to be 0.020% or less, preferably 0.015% or less, or more preferably 0.010% or less.
  • Si is a chemical element which is effective as a deoxidizing agent. Such an effect is obtained in the case where the Si content is 0.05% or more.
  • the Si content is more than 0.40%, there is a deterioration in workability due to an increase in the hardness of steel.
  • the Si content is more than 0.40%, since there is a decrease in the amount of scale formed on the upper surface of a slab, which has a lubrication effect when hot rolling is performed, there is an increase in the quantity of surface defects. Therefore, the Si content is limited to be in the range of 0.05% to 0.15%. It is more preferable that the lower limit of the Si content be 0.08% or more.
  • Mn has a deoxidizing function. Such an effect of Mn is obtained in the case where the Mn content is 0.05% or more.
  • the Mn content is more than 1.00%, since the precipitation and coarsening of MnS are promoted, there is a deterioration in corrosion resistance. Therefore, the Mn content is limited to be in the range of 0.05% to 1.00%. It is preferable that the lower limit of the Mn content be 0.10% or more, or more preferably 0.15% or more. It is preferable that the upper limit of the Mn content be less than 0.30%, or more preferably 0.25% or less.

  • Al is a chemical element which is effective for deoxidation. Such an effect is obtained in the case where the Al content is 0.001% or more.
  • the Al content is more than 0.15%, since there is a decrease in the amount of scale formed on the surface of a slab, which has a lubrication effect when hot rolling is performed, there is an increase in the quantity of surface defects. Therefore, the Al content is limited to be in the range of 0.001% to 0.15%. It is preferable that the lower limit of the Al content be 0.005% or more, or more preferably 0.01% or more. It is preferable that the upper limit of the Al content be 0.10% or less, or more preferably 0.05% or less.
  • the Cr is a chemical element which improves corrosion resistance by forming a passive film on the surface. It is not possible to achieve sufficient corrosion resistance in the case where the Cr content is less than 20.0%. On the other hand, in the case where the Cr content is more than 23.0%, there is a tendency for toughness to deteriorate due to a ⁇ phase and 475°C embrittlement. Therefore, the Cr content is set to be 20.0% to 23.0%. It is preferable the lower limit of the Cr content be 20.5% or more. It is preferable that the upper limit of the Cr content be 22.0% or less, or more preferably 21.5% or less.
  • Ni is a chemical element which makes it possible to maintain a passive state even at a lower pH by inhibiting an anode reaction due to acid. That is, Ni improves corrosion resistance by markedly inhibiting the progress of corrosion in an active dissolution state as a result of increasing the effect of crevice corrosion resistance. Such an effect of Ni is obtained in the case where the Ni content is 0.01% or more. On the other hand, in the case where the Ni content is more than 0.80%, there is a deterioration in workability due to an increase in the hardness of steel. Therefore, the Ni content is limited to be 0.01% to 0.80%. It is preferable that the lower limit of the Ni content be 0.05% or more, or more preferably 0.10% or more. It is preferable that the upper limit of the Ni content be 0.40% or less, or more preferably 0.25% or less.
  • the Cu is a chemical element which improves corrosion resistance by strengthening a passive film.
  • the Cu content is set to be 0.30% to 0.80%. It is preferable that the lower limit of the Cu content be 0.35% or more, or more preferably 0.40% or more. It is preferable that the upper limit of the Cu content be 0.60% or less, or more preferably 0.45% or less.
  • Ti is a chemical element which improves corrosion resistance by preventing sensitization due to Cr carbonitrides as a result of fixing C and N.
  • TiN which is formed as a result of containing Ti, causes a deterioration in toughness.
  • the above-mentioned deterioration in toughness due to Ti is suppressed by the combination effect of Nb and Zr as described below.
  • the effect of improving corrosion resistance through the use of Ti is obtained in the case where the Ti content is 0.10% or more.
  • the Ti content is more than 0.50%, there is a deterioration in workability due to an increase in the hardness of a stainless steel sheet.
  • the Ti content is set to be in the range of 0.10% to 0.50%. It is preferable that the lower limit of the Ti content be 0.15% or more, or more preferably 0.18% or more. It is preferable that the upper limit of the Ti content be 0.35% or less, or more preferably 0.26% or less.
  • Nb 0.010% to 0.150%
  • Nb is, like Ti, a chemical element which improves corrosion resistance by preventing sensitization due to Cr carbonitrides as a result of fixing C and N. Moreover, Nb improves toughness and inhibits a surface defect from occurring by the combination effect with Zr described below. Such effects are obtained in the case where the Nb content is 0.010% or more. On the other hand, in the case where the Nb content is more than 0.150%, there is a deterioration in workability due to an increase in the hardness of a stainless steel sheet. In addition, in the case where the Nb content is more than 0.150%, since there is an increase in recrystallization temperature, there is a deterioration in manufacturability.
  • the Nb content is set to be in the range of 0.010% to 0.150%. It is preferable that the lower limit of the Nb content be 0.030% or more, or more preferably 0.070% or more. It is preferable that the upper limit of the Nb content be less than 0.100%, or more preferably 0.090% or less.
  • Zr is, like Ti, a chemical element which improves corrosion resistance by preventing sensitization due to Cr carbonitrides as a result of fixing C and N. Moreover, Zr improves toughness and inhibits a surface defect from occurring by the combination effect with Nb described below. It is necessary that the Zr content be 0.005% or more in order to obtained such effects. On the other hand, in the case where the Zr content is more than 0.150%, since Zr-based inclusions are precipitated on the surface, there is an increase in the quantity of surface defects. Therefore, the Zr content is limited to be in the range of 0.005% to 0.150%. It is preferable that the lower limit of the Zr content be 0.010% or more, or more preferably 0.030% or more. It is preferable that the upper limit of the Zr content be less than 0.100%, or more preferably 0.080% or less.
