- the term "sigma phase” as used herein refers to a non-magnetic stage or phase mainly including iron and calcium in stainless steels, e.g., ferritic and austenitic stainless steels.
- the sigma phase may form at ferrite/austenite interfaces or boundaries and such intermolecular stage or phase may cause metal alloy or stainless steel to lose ductility, toughness, stability and corrosion resistance.
- precipitation of the sigma phase can be often observed in various series of stainless steels and can be precipitated under an elevated temperature environment, for example, casting, rolling, welding, forging, and aging.
- the sigma phase occurs during metallic exposure to a temperature range from 300 °C to 1000 °C, 300 to 900 °C, 400 to 900 °C or 500 to 900 °C.
- the volume fraction of the sigma phase formed in the temperature range of 300 to 900 °C may suitably be 0.5 % or less or may not be precipitated.
- the volume fraction of the sigma phase formed in the temperature range of 300 to 900 °C may not be precipitated.

- a volume fraction of a laves phase formed in the temperature range of 300 to 900 °C may suitably be 0.2% or less.
- a pitting potential (Ept) of the stainless steel in 3.5 % of sodium chloride (NaCl) at a temperature of 25 °C may suitably be 300 mV SCE or greater.
- pitting potential refers to an electrochemical potential that corresponds to the least positive current and voltage at which pits develop or grow on a metallic surface and a corrosion pit initiates on a metallic surface.
- pitting for a stainless steel as used herein may be characterized electrochemically by the critical pitting potential (Ept).
- Ept critical pitting potential
- a time required for forming rust in a condition of 5 % of sodium chloride (NaCl) after 3 % of salt water is sprayed may be 250 days or greater.
- Impact resistance strength of the ferritic stainless steel measured by a Charpy keyhole-notch impact test may suitably be 55 J or greater.
- an exhaust system component of a vehicle that includes the ferritic stainless steel as described herein.
- vehicle or “vehicular” or other similar term as used herein is inclusive of motor vehicles in general such as passenger automobiles including sports utility vehicles (SUV), buses, trucks, various commercial vehicles, watercraft including a variety of boats and ships, aircraft, and the like, and includes hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered vehicles and other alternative fuel vehicles (e.g. fuels derived from resources other than petroleum).
- a hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that has two or more sources of power, for example both gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles.
- FIG. 1 shows various exemplary steel compositions in Inventive Examples and Comparative Examples
- FIG. 2 shows phases generated in Inventive Examples and Comparative Examples.
- a ferritic stainless steel that is optimized in the content of major alloy components to suppress formation of a structure or intermetallic phase (e.g., a sigma phase) that negatively affects physical properties of stainless steel.
- the ferritic stainless steel is disclosed in the appended claims.
- Carbon (C) is contained in an amount of 0.015 wt% or less based on the total weight of the ferric stainless steel.
- Carbon (C) as used herein is an element effective for enhancing strength of stainless steel. For instance, Ti(C,N) may be formed to expect a precipitation strengthening effect and suppress high temperature structure growth (grain growth) such that an increased in creep strength and enhancement of tempering physical properties may be expected.
- M 23 C 6 carbide may be formed to deteriorate thermal impact characteristics.
- Silicon (Si) is contained in an amount of 0.17 wt% or less based on the total weight of the ferric stainless steel. Silicon (Si) as used herein is an element that acts as a deoxidizer and increases oxidation resistance and castability. However, when the content of silicon (Si) is greater than 0.17%, a sigma phase may be formed to deteriorate impact resistance and corrosion resistance.
- Manganese (Mn) is contained in an amount of 1.35 wt% or less based on the total weight of the ferric stainless steel. Manganese (Mn) as used herein improves hardenability and yield strength of steel. However, when the content of manganese (Mn) is greater than 1.35 wt%, a sigma phase may be formed to deteriorate impact resistance and corrosion resistance.
- Chromium (Cr) is contained in an amount of 17 to 20 wt% based on the total weight of the ferric stainless steel. Chromium (Cr) as used herein is an important element to ensure corrosion resistance of stainless steel and to obtain solid solution strengthening effect and stabilize an austenite phase. However, when the content of chromium (Cr) is less than 17 wt%, oxidation resistance may be deteriorated, and when the content of chromium (Cr) is greater than 20 wt%, the austenite phase may be stabilized and a matrix structure may be changed to an austenitic system or duplex system.
- Aluminum (Al) is contained in an amount of 3 to 5 wt% based on the total weight of the ferric stainless steel.
- Aluminum (Al) which is an element acting as a solubility enhancer, increases oxidation resistance and makes the structure finer and uniform. If the content of aluminum (Al) is less than 3%, a sigma phase may be formed to lower structure uniformity, and if the content of aluminum (Al) exceeds 5%, a negative phase such as Cr 3 Si may be formed.
- Titanium (Ti) is contained in an amount of 0.5 wt% or less based on the total weight of the ferric stainless steel. Titanium (Ti) as used herein forms carbides to improve precipitation strengthening and high temperature strength. When the content of titanium (Ti) is greater than 0.5%, a laves phase may be formed and impact resistance and corrosion resistance may be decreased. The content of titanium (Ti) is limited to a minimum value of 0.1 wt%. When the content of titanium (Ti) is less than 0.1 wt%, formation of AlN, which deteriorates strength and weldability at high temperatures, may be increased.
- the content of nitrogen (N) is less than 0.02 wt% based on the total weight of the ferric stainless steel.
- Nitrogen (N) as used herein induces formation of carbonitride, for example, Ti(C,N) may be formed to obtain a precipitation strengthening effect and suppress high temperature structure growth (grain growth). As such, creep strength may be increased and tempering physical properties may be improved.
- the content of nitrogen is greater than 0.02 wt%, formation of AlN is increased.
- Oxygen (O) is contained in an amount of less than 0.001 wt% based on the total weight of the ferric stainless steel. Oxygen (O) forms inclusions to decrease impact resistance, and is controlled to be as low as possible. An upper limit value of oxygen (O) is 0.001 wt% in consideration of a removing process.
- zirconium (Zr), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) The sum of the contents of zirconium (Zr), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) is adjusted to 0.001 wt% to 0.01 wt% based on the total weight of the ferric stainless steel.
- Zirconium (Zr), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) as used herein serves as a deoxidizer.
- the total content of zirconium (Zr), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) is less than 0.001 wt%, Al 2 O 3 may be generated, and when the total content of Al 2 O 3 is greater than 0.01 wt%, castability may be deteriorated.
- the remainder other than the above-mentioned components includes Fe and inevitably contained impurities.
