- Equation (1) of the cold-annealed materials prepared as described above are shown in Table 2 below.
- Equation (1) above [C], [Si], [Mn], [Cr], [Ni], [N], and [Nb] represent weight percentages (wt%) of respective elements
- Md30 refers to values defined by 551-462([C]+[N])-9.2*[Si]-8.1*[Mn]-13.7*[Cr]-29([Ni]+[Cu])-18.5*[Mo]-68([Nb]+[V])
- Temp refers to cold annealing temperature (°C).
- the prepared cold-annealed material was prepared as a sample having a thickness of 0.1 to 3.0 mm. Subsequently, average grain sizes d, fractions of the unrecrystallized area, yield strengths, tensile strengths, elongations, and yield ratios of the thickness central regions of the samples were measured and shown in Table 2 below.
- the average grain size d and the fraction of the unrecrystallized area were measured by analyzing orientations of the thickness central region by using an electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) pattern analyzer with Model No. of e-Flash FS.
- EBSD electron backscatter diffraction
- the yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation were measured by using a universal test machine (UTM).
- the yield ratio refers to a value obtained by dividing a yield strength by a tensile strength.
- Example 2 63.2 0.80 1.0 0 930 1083 20.8 0.86
- Example 3 23.3 0.98 0.5 0 1113 1172 21.8 0.95
- the S2 vales of Equation (1) satisfied 0.8 or more and the average grain sizes d satisfied 5 ⁇ m or less.
- the fraction of a unrecrystallized area in a band form satisfied 10% or less.
- Examples 1 to 9 satisfied a yield strength of at least 700 MPa but not more than 1113 MPa, an elongation of at least 20% but not more than 41.2%, and a yield ratio of at least 0.8 but not more than 0.96. That is, Examples 1 to 9 simultaneously satisfied the high strength, high elongation, and high yield ratio.
- Comparative Examples 3 and 8 exhibited low average grain sizes d and satisfied a yield strength of at least 700 MPa but not more than 1113 MPa. However, in Comparative Examples 3 and 8, the tensile strength was relatively high compared to the yield strength. Accordingly, Comparative Examples 3 and 8 did not satisfy the yield ratio of at least 0.8 but not more than 0.96.
- the ⁇ value represented by Equation (1) of 0.8 or more was not satisfied in Comparative Examples 4 to 7 and 9 to 39. Accordingly, the yield strength of at least 700 MPa but not more than 1113 MPa and the yield ratio of at least 0.8 but not more than 0.96 were not satisfied in Comparative Examples 4 to 7 and 9 to 39.
- Comparative Examples 27 to 39 exhibited high cold annealing temperatures. Accordingly, the average grain sizes d of 5 ⁇ m or less were not satisfied in Comparative Examples 27 to 39.

- FIG. 1 is a graph of Example 1
- FIG. 2 is a graph of Comparative Example 3.
- the austenitic stainless steel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may simultaneously satisfy the high strength, the high elongation, and the high yield ratio because a stress change according to the degree of deformation is not relatively large.
