Description

本発明は、例えば航空機や自動車などのエンジンから排出される排気ガスに曝される排気ガス再循環系用部材部材であるガス配管、クーラー部品、切替バルブなどに適する、耐酸性に優れたフェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼に関する。および、前記フェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼によって成る耐酸性に優れた鋳造部材に関する。   The present invention is suitable for use in gas pipes, cooler parts, switching valves, etc., which are exhaust gas recirculation system member members exposed to exhaust gas exhausted from engines such as aircraft and automobiles. Related to cast stainless steel. The present invention also relates to a cast member made of the ferritic stainless cast steel and excellent in acid resistance.

例えば、航空機や自動車などにおいては、エンジンから排出される排気ガスの一部を吸気系に還流して燃焼温度を低く抑え、NOxの生成を抑制するシステムが多く採用されている。いわゆる排気ガス再循環(Exhaust Gas Recirculation、以下、EGRという)システムである。
EGRシステムにおいては、例えば上述したガス配管、クーラー部品、切替バルブなど排気ガスに曝される排気ガス再循環系用部材(以下、EGR部材という)が多く使用され、これらEGR部材には、強酸性を呈する排気ガスによる腐食を防止するために優れた耐酸性が望まれている。
For example, in an aircraft, an automobile, and the like, many systems that recirculate a part of exhaust gas discharged from an engine to an intake system to suppress a combustion temperature and suppress generation of NOx are often used. This is a so-called exhaust gas recirculation (hereinafter referred to as EGR) system.
In an EGR system, for example, exhaust gas recirculation system members (hereinafter referred to as EGR members) exposed to exhaust gas such as the gas pipes, cooler parts, and switching valves described above are often used. In order to prevent corrosion due to exhaust gas exhibiting the above, excellent acid resistance is desired.

耐食性や耐酸性と有する材料としては、JIS−G4303に規定されるステンレス鋼を使用することも多い。ステンレス鋼は、一般に組織の特徴などからオーステナイト系、フェライト系、オーステナイト・フェライトの2相系、マルテンサイト系、および析出硬化系に区分され、なかでもオーステナイト系は、フェライト系などに比べて耐食性や耐酸性に優れていることが知られている。
例えば、排気ガスの循環経路の切替機構を有するバルブの筐体(以下、EGRバルブという)には、排気ガスの腐食に耐え得る材料として、一般によく知られるオーステナイト系ステンレス鋼のひとつであるSUS304などが使用されている。
As a material having corrosion resistance and acid resistance, stainless steel defined in JIS-G4303 is often used. Stainless steel is generally classified into austenite, ferrite, austenite / ferrite two-phase, martensite, and precipitation hardening due to the characteristics of the structure. Among these, austenite is more resistant to corrosion than ferrite. It is known that it has excellent acid resistance.
For example, in a valve housing (hereinafter referred to as an EGR valve) having a mechanism for switching an exhaust gas circulation path, SUS304, which is one of the well-known austenitic stainless steels, is known as a material that can withstand corrosion of exhaust gas. Is used.

また、このような強酸性の排気ガスによる腐食の問題を解決するために、例えば特開2003−193205号公報(特許文献1)では、耐硫酸腐食性に優れた、質量%で、C:0.5%以下、Si:2%以下、Mn:3%以下、S:0.2%以下、Ni:8〜18%、Cr:12〜25%、Mo:0〜4%、W:0〜2%で、かつ(Mo+0.5W):0〜4%、Cu:0.5〜6%で、かつ(Ni/Cu):2%以上、Nb:0〜2.5%、残部:Feおよび不可避的不純物を含有する実質的にオーステナイト系ステンレス鋳鋼からなる排気ガス再循環系部品が提案されている。   Further, in order to solve the problem of corrosion due to such strongly acidic exhaust gas, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-193205 (Patent Document 1), C: 0 in mass% and excellent in sulfuric acid corrosion resistance. 0.5% or less, Si: 2% or less, Mn: 3% or less, S: 0.2% or less, Ni: 8-18%, Cr: 12-25%, Mo: 0-4%, W: 0 2% and (Mo + 0.5W): 0 to 4%, Cu: 0.5 to 6%, and (Ni / Cu): 2% or more, Nb: 0 to 2.5%, balance: Fe and There has been proposed an exhaust gas recirculation system component substantially composed of an austenitic stainless cast steel containing inevitable impurities.

また、例えば特開2002−121653号公報(特許文献2)には、質量%で、C:0.020%以下、Si:0.30超〜1.00%、Mn:0.50超〜1.00%、P:0.040%以下、S:0.005〜0.020%、Cu:1.0%以下、Ni:1.0%以下、Cr:13.0〜20.0%、Mo:0.50超〜2.00%、Al:0.020%以下、N:0.020%以下、Nb:0.20〜0.50%、O:0.010%以下、C+N:0.010%以上を含有し、残部がFeおよび不可避な不純物からなる冷間加工性、耐食性、切削性、溶接性に優れたフェライト系ステンレス鋼が提案されている。   Further, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-121653 (Patent Document 2), by mass, C: 0.020% or less, Si: more than 0.30 to 1.00%, Mn: more than 0.50 to 1 0.000%, P: 0.040% or less, S: 0.005-0.020%, Cu: 1.0% or less, Ni: 1.0% or less, Cr: 13.0-20.0%, Mo: more than 0.50 to 2.00%, Al: 0.020% or less, N: 0.020% or less, Nb: 0.20 to 0.50%, O: 0.010% or less, C + N: 0 A ferritic stainless steel containing 0.010% or more and having the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities and excellent in cold workability, corrosion resistance, machinability, and weldability has been proposed.

特開2003−193205号公報JP 2003-193205 A 特開2002−121653号公報JP 2002-121653 A

本発明者は、強酸性の排気ガスに腐食され難く、EGR部材に適する、耐酸性に優れたステンレス鋳鋼を検討するにあたり、例えば上述したEGRバルブでは切替弁等を取り付けることなどのために機械加工を施すことが多いことから、耐酸性に加え、できる限り被削性の良好なステンレス鋳鋼を検討した。   The present inventor is not easily corroded by strong acid exhaust gas and is suitable for EGR members. For example, the above-mentioned EGR valve is machined for attaching a switching valve or the like to study stainless cast steel excellent in acid resistance. Therefore, in addition to acid resistance, we examined stainless cast steel with as good machinability as possible.

上述した特許文献1が提案するオーステナイト系ステンレス鋳鋼からなる排気ガス再循環系部品は、確かに極めて優れた耐硫酸腐食性を有している。また、オーステナイト系ほどではないにしてもオーステナイト・フェライトの2相系ステンレス鋳鋼も耐酸性を有している。しかしながら、オーステナイト系やオーステナイト・フェライトの2相系では、Niなど高価な添加元素が多いために合金そのもののコストが増してしまうので製造コストの点で不利である。また、フェライト系に比べて被削性が劣るので、機械加工コストの面でも不利となることから、さらなる改良が望まれていた。   The exhaust gas recirculation system parts made of austenitic stainless cast steel proposed by Patent Document 1 described above certainly have extremely excellent sulfuric acid corrosion resistance. In addition, austenite-ferrite duplex cast stainless steel, although not as much as austenite, has acid resistance. However, the two-phase system of austenite and austenite / ferrite is disadvantageous in terms of manufacturing cost because the cost of the alloy itself increases because there are many expensive additive elements such as Ni. Further, since the machinability is inferior to that of ferrite, it is disadvantageous in terms of machining cost, and further improvement has been desired.

上述したオーステナイト系ステンレス鋼は、面心立法格子の組織形態を有するために加工硬化を生じやすいことから、被削性の点においては、一般的には体心立法格子の組織形態を有するフェライト系ステンレス鋼が有利である。
上述した特許文献2が提案するフェライト系ステンレス鋼は、耐塩水性を有した鍛造用鋼であり、SiやNbの添加により熱間加工性や冷間加工性をも有している。また、Mnを添加することにより被削性を得ている点でも優れている。しかしながら、本発明者の検討によれば、CuやSiの含有量を1.0質量%以下に抑え、鍛造用鋼としての冷間加工性を持たせたために、耐塩水性は有するものの、硫酸などに対する耐酸性の点では不十分であった。
Since the above-mentioned austenitic stainless steel has a face-centered cubic lattice structure, work hardening is likely to occur. Therefore, in terms of machinability, a ferrite-based structure having a body-centric lattice structure is generally used. Stainless steel is advantageous.
The ferritic stainless steel proposed by Patent Document 2 described above is a forging steel having salt water resistance, and has hot workability and cold workability by addition of Si and Nb. It is also excellent in that machinability is obtained by adding Mn. However, according to the study of the present inventor, the content of Cu and Si is suppressed to 1.0% by mass or less, and cold workability as forging steel is provided. In terms of acid resistance to this, it was insufficient.

本発明の目的は、耐酸性に優れ、望ましくは良好な被削性を有している、フェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼を提供することである。また、前記フェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼によって成る耐酸性に優れた鋳造部材を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a ferritic stainless cast steel having excellent acid resistance and desirably good machinability. Moreover, it is providing the cast member excellent in the acid resistance which consists of said ferritic stainless cast steel.

本発明者は、上述の課題を鑑み、上述した特許文献2に提案されたフェライト系ステンレス鋼をベース組成とし、硫酸などに対する耐酸性を持たせることを検討した。つまり、Feに対する主たる添加元素であるCr、Cu、Si、Moや、さらにNb、Ni、C、Mn、Al、P、S、Nの作用効果や添加範囲を検討し、これら主たる元素の添加範囲を最適化することによって耐酸性の向上が可能となることを見出し本発明に到達した。   In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor studied that the ferritic stainless steel proposed in Patent Document 2 described above is used as a base composition and has acid resistance against sulfuric acid or the like. In other words, the main additive elements for Fe, such as Cr, Cu, Si, Mo, and Nb, Ni, C, Mn, Al, P, S, N are studied and the addition effect of these main elements is examined. The present inventors have found that the acid resistance can be improved by optimizing the above.

すなわち本発明は、質量%で、Cr:18.0〜27.0%、Cu:0.8〜3.5%、Si:0.5〜2.0%、Mo:0.5〜1.5%、Nb:2.5%以下、Ni:0.6%以下、C:0.12%以下、Mn:1.0%以下、Al:0.10%以下、P:0.15%以下、S:0.15%以下、N:0.10%以下で、かつ(Cu+Si):2.0%を超え、残部がFeおよび不可避的不純物をを含有する耐酸性に優れたフェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼である。   That is, this invention is a mass%, Cr: 18.0-27.0%, Cu: 0.8-3.5%, Si: 0.5-2.0%, Mo: 0.5-1. 5%, Nb: 2.5% or less, Ni: 0.6% or less, C: 0.12% or less, Mn: 1.0% or less, Al: 0.10% or less, P: 0.15% or less , S: 0.15% or less, N: 0.10% or less, and (Cu + Si): more than 2.0%, and the balance containing Fe and inevitable impurities and having excellent acid resistance. It is.

Desirably, it is a ferritic stainless cast steel excellent in acid resistance containing (Cu + Si): 2.8% or more by mass%.

また、上述した本発明のフェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼を用いて、耐酸性に優れた鋳造部材を得ることができる。すなわち、質量%で、Cr:18.0〜27.0%、Cu:0.8〜3.5%、Si:0.5〜2.0%、Mo:0.5〜1.5%、Nb:2.5%以下、Ni:0.6%以下、C:0.12%以下、Mn:1.0%以下、Al:0.10%以下、P:0.15%以下、S:0.15%以下、N:0.10%以下で、かつ(Cu+Si):2.0%を超え、残部がFeおよび不可避的不純物を含有するフェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼によって成る耐酸性に優れた鋳造部材を得ることができる。   Moreover, the cast member excellent in acid resistance can be obtained using the ferritic stainless steel cast steel of this invention mentioned above. That is, in mass%, Cr: 18.0-27.0%, Cu: 0.8-3.5%, Si: 0.5-2.0%, Mo: 0.5-1.5%, Nb: 2.5% or less, Ni: 0.6% or less, C: 0.12% or less, Mn: 1.0% or less, Al: 0.10% or less, P: 0.15% or less, S: Cast member excellent in acid resistance, made of ferritic stainless cast steel with 0.15% or less, N: 0.10% or less and (Cu + Si): more than 2.0%, the balance containing Fe and inevitable impurities Can be obtained.

また、上述した鋳造部材は、質量%で、Cr:18.0〜22.0%、Cu:0.8〜2.2%、Si:1.0〜1.5%を含有するフェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼によって成る鋳造部材であることが望ましい。

また、前記鋳造部材は、排気ガスの流路を切り替える切替バルブ用部材であってもよい。
Moreover, the cast member mentioned above is the ferritic stainless steel which contains Cr: 18.0-22.0%, Cu: 0.8-2.2%, Si: 1.0-1.5% by the mass%. A cast member made of cast steel is desirable.
Further, a cast member made of ferritic stainless cast steel containing (Cu + Si): 2.8% or more by mass% is desirable.
The casting member may be a switching valve member that switches an exhaust gas flow path.

本発明の耐酸性に優れたフェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼は、酸性の排気ガスなどによって腐食され難いステンレス鋳鋼である。よって、本発明のステンレス鋳鋼を用いた鋳造部材は、優れた耐酸性を有する鋳造部材となる。そして、例えば上述した切替バルブ用部材(EGRバルブ)などの排気ガス再循環系用部材(EGR部材)に適用すると、優れた性能を発揮することができる。また、オーステナイト系ではなくフェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼であることから被削性の点でも良好となるため、機械加工を施すことが多い上述した切替バルブ用部材(EGRバルブ)などを効率良く工業生産することができる。   The ferritic stainless cast steel excellent in acid resistance of the present invention is a stainless cast steel that is hardly corroded by acidic exhaust gas or the like. Therefore, the cast member using the stainless cast steel of the present invention is a cast member having excellent acid resistance. For example, when applied to an exhaust gas recirculation system member (EGR member) such as the switching valve member (EGR valve) described above, excellent performance can be exhibited. Also, since it is ferritic stainless cast steel, not austenitic, it also has good machinability, so that the above-described switching valve member (EGR valve), which is often machined, is efficiently industrially produced. Can do.

上述したように、本発明のフェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼における重要な特徴は、Cr、Cu、Si、Moなどの元素の添加範囲を最適化することによって優れた耐酸性を付与したことである。
具体的には、質量%で、Cr:18.0〜27.0%、Cu:0.8〜3.5%、Si:0.5〜2.0%、Mo:0.5〜1.5%、Nb:2.5%以下、Ni:0.6%以下、C:0.12%以下、Mn:1.0%以下、Al:0.10%以下、P:0.15%以下、S:0.15%以下、N:0.10%以下で、かつ(Cu+Si):2.0を超え、残部がFeおよび不可避的不純物を含有する、フェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼である。
As described above, an important feature of the ferritic stainless cast steel of the present invention is that excellent acid resistance is imparted by optimizing the addition range of elements such as Cr, Cu, Si, and Mo.
Specifically, in terms of mass%, Cr: 18.0 to 27.0%, Cu: 0.8 to 3.5%, Si: 0.5 to 2.0%, Mo: 0.5 to 1. 5%, Nb: 2.5% or less, Ni: 0.6% or less, C: 0.12% or less, Mn: 1.0% or less, Al: 0.10% or less, P: 0.15% or less , S: 0.15% or less, N: 0.10% or less, and (Cu + Si): more than 2.0, with the balance containing Fe and unavoidable impurities.

以下、本発明のフェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼について、Feに対する含有成分と各成分の含有範囲の限定理由について詳細に説明する。
Cr:18.0〜27.0(質量%)
Crは、耐酸性を得るために18.0%以上含有させる。ただし、含有量を増やすと耐酸性は向上するものの靭性を損ねることがあるので、27.0%以下の含有に抑える。また、Cr含有による溶湯の酸化などを考慮し、鋳造性を欲するならば18.0〜22.0%の範囲で含有させることが望ましい。また、特に高い耐酸性を欲するならば20.0%を超えて27.0%以下で含有させ、これに加えて鋳造性をも欲するならば20.0%を超えて22.0%以下で含有させることが望ましい。
Hereinafter, the ferritic stainless cast steel of the present invention will be described in detail with respect to the content of Fe and the reasons for limiting the content of each component.
Cr: 18.0 to 27.0 (mass%)
Cr is contained at 18.0% or more in order to obtain acid resistance. However, if the content is increased, the acid resistance is improved, but the toughness may be impaired, so the content is suppressed to 27.0% or less. Further, considering the oxidation of the molten metal due to the Cr content, etc., if castability is desired, it is desirable to contain it in the range of 18.0 to 22.0%. In addition, if high acid resistance is desired, the content is more than 20.0% and not more than 27.0%. In addition to this, if castability is desired, the content is more than 20.0% and not more than 22.0%. It is desirable to contain.

Cu:0.8〜3.5(質量%)
Cuは、本発明においては、耐酸性を付与するために、特に重要な元素である。また、耐熱性の向上にも寄与する。よって、少なくとも0.8%以上を含有させる。また、Cuは、鍛造用鋼では一般に含有を抑えるべき元素とされており、多量に含有させると著しく靭性が劣化して熱間加工性や冷間加工性を損ねてしまうことがある。しかしながら、鋳造用鋼である本発明のフェライト系ステンレス鋳鋼では、鋳造形成することによって所望の形状を得ることができ、実質的な塑性加工を行うことがないので、1.0%を超えて含有することができる。ただし、含有量を増してもそれに見合う耐酸性の向上が期待できないばかりか鋳造性を損ねることがあり、また、鋳造用鋼であっても多大な靭性の劣化は避けるべきである。よって、3.5%以下の含有に抑える。また、耐酸性とともに鋳造性を考慮するならば1.5〜2.5%が望ましく、より鋳造性を考慮するならば2.2%以下に抑えることが望ましい。
Cu: 0.8 to 3.5 (mass%)
In the present invention, Cu is an especially important element for imparting acid resistance. It also contributes to improved heat resistance. Therefore, at least 0.8% or more is contained. Further, Cu is generally considered as an element to be suppressed in forging steel, and if it is contained in a large amount, the toughness is remarkably deteriorated and the hot workability and the cold workability may be impaired. However, in the ferritic stainless cast steel of the present invention, which is a steel for casting, a desired shape can be obtained by casting, and since there is no substantial plastic working, the content exceeds 1.0%. can do. However, even if the content is increased, not only an improvement in acid resistance commensurate with it can be expected, but castability may be impaired, and even if it is a steel for casting, a great deterioration of toughness should be avoided. Therefore, the content is suppressed to 3.5% or less. Further, if considering castability in addition to acid resistance, 1.5 to 2.5% is desirable, and if considering castability, it is desirable to keep it to 2.2% or less.

Si:0.5〜2.0(質量%)
Siは、ステンレス鋼の脱酸元素として有用であるとともに耐酸性の向上をもたらす元素である。また、靭性を損ねるCr酸化物が多量に形成されて分散してしまうことを抑制する作用をも有する。よって、0.5%以上を含有させる。ただし、含有量が多くなりすぎるとSi化合物が多量に形成されて靭性を損ねてしまうことがあるので、2.0%以下の含有に抑える。望ましくは1.0〜1.5%の範囲で含有させる。また、鋳造性の観点からは、1.0%を超えて含有させることが望ましい。
Si: 0.5 to 2.0 (mass%)
Si is an element that is useful as a deoxidizing element for stainless steel and also improves acid resistance. Moreover, it has the effect | action which suppresses that a large amount of Cr oxide which impairs toughness is formed and disperse | distributed. Therefore, 0.5% or more is contained. However, if the content is too large, a large amount of Si compound is formed and the toughness may be impaired, so the content is controlled to 2.0% or less. Desirably, it is contained in the range of 1.0 to 1.5%. Further, from the viewpoint of castability, it is desirable to contain more than 1.0%.

Mo:0.5〜1.5(質量%)
Moは、耐食性の向上と固溶強化による強度改善の効果を有するとともに、高温酸化の抑制や高温強度の向上に寄与する元素である。よって、高温での固溶強化を利用し、0.5%以上を含有させることによって高温強度を向上させる。ただし、含有量が多くなりすぎると靭性を損ねてしまうことがあり、コストの点でも不利となるので、1.5%以下の含有に抑える。また、耐酸性、鋳造性、コストなど多面的に考慮すれば、0.8〜1.2%の範囲で含有させることが望ましい。
Mo: 0.5 to 1.5 (mass%)
Mo is an element that has an effect of improving the corrosion resistance and improving the strength by strengthening the solid solution, and contributes to suppressing high-temperature oxidation and improving high-temperature strength. Therefore, the high-temperature strength is improved by using 0.5% or more by using solid solution strengthening at high temperature. However, if the content is too large, the toughness may be impaired, and this is disadvantageous in terms of cost, so the content is limited to 1.5% or less. Further, considering from various aspects such as acid resistance, castability, and cost, it is desirable to contain in the range of 0.8 to 1.2%.

Nb:2.5以下(質量%)
Nbは、固溶強化や析出強化によって高温強度を向上させる元素であり、本発明においてNbは2.5%以下の範囲で含有させる。また、本発明では、CやNと親和させて炭化物や窒化物を形成させることにより、固溶C量や固溶N量を低減させ、硬さの上昇を抑えて被削性を向上させる効果も期待できる。ただし、CやNの含有量に対してNb量が多くなりすぎると、固溶C量や固溶N量を低減させる効果が飽和してしまい、余分なNbそのものによって被削性が低下することがあるので2.5%以下の含有に抑える。望ましくは、質量%で(C+N)量の10倍程度を含有させ、固溶C量や固溶N量の増加を抑えつつ余分なNbを残存させないことである。Nb炭化物やNb窒化物は粒界腐食性を損ねるCr炭化物よりも優先的に生成され、これによりCr炭化物の析出が抑制されて粒界腐食を抑制することができる。
Nb: 2.5 or less (mass%)
Nb is an element that improves high-temperature strength by solid solution strengthening or precipitation strengthening. In the present invention, Nb is contained in a range of 2.5% or less. Further, in the present invention, by forming carbides and nitrides with affinity for C and N, the effect of reducing the amount of solute C and the amount of solute N, suppressing the increase in hardness, and improving the machinability. Can also be expected. However, if the amount of Nb is too large relative to the content of C or N, the effect of reducing the amount of solid solution C or the amount of solid solution N is saturated, and the machinability is reduced by the excess Nb itself. Therefore, the content is limited to 2.5% or less. Desirably, about 10 times the amount of (C + N) is contained by mass%, and excess Nb is not left while suppressing an increase in the amount of solid solution C or the amount of solid solution N.

(Cu+Si):2.0を超え(質量%)
上述したように本発明においては、質量%で、Cu:0.8〜3.5%、Si:0.5〜2.0%を含有させる。しかしながら、CuとSiの含有量、つまり(Cu+Si)総量が少なすぎると耐酸性を向上させる効果が不十分となるので、(Cu+Si):2.0%を超えて含有させる。ただし、CuとSi、各々の含有量を超えて含有させるものではない。また、やや靭性を劣化させる可能性はあるものの、より高い耐酸性を得るために(Cu+Si):2.8%以上を含有させることもできる。
(Cu + Si): exceeding 2.0 (mass%)
As described above, in the present invention, Cu: 0.8 to 3.5% and Si: 0.5 to 2.0% are contained by mass%. However, if the content of Cu and Si, that is, the total amount of (Cu + Si) is too small, the effect of improving acid resistance becomes insufficient, so (Cu + Si): more than 2.0% is contained. However, Cu and Si are not included beyond the respective contents. Further, although there is a possibility that the toughness is somewhat deteriorated, (Cu + Si): 2.8% or more can be contained in order to obtain higher acid resistance.

残部がFeおよび不可避的不純物
本発明においては、不可避的として上述したC、P、S、Nといった元素のほか、Mg、Ti、B、V、Co、As、Oなどの元素もまた不可避的な元素である。しかしながら、実質的に全く含有させないことはできないので、本発明の作用効果を阻害しない範囲であれば含有してもよい。
例えばMgは、本来は酸化物を形成してTiNの晶出核となってフェライト粒の微細化効果が期待できるものの、過剰な含有は耐酸性の劣化をもたらしてしまうことがあり、望ましくは0.50質量%以下に抑える。生産性では不利となるが、より望ましくは0.30質量%以下に抑える。
The balance is Fe and inevitable impurities In the present invention, elements such as Mg, Ti, B, V, Co, As, and O are also unavoidable in addition to the elements such as C, P, S, and N described above as unavoidable. It is an element. However, since it cannot be contained substantially at all, it may be contained as long as the effects of the present invention are not inhibited.
For example, Mg originally forms an oxide and becomes a crystallization nucleus of TiN, and an effect of refining ferrite grains can be expected. However, excessive content may lead to deterioration of acid resistance, and preferably 0. Suppressed to 50% by mass or less. Although it is disadvantageous in productivity, it is more preferably suppressed to 0.30% by mass or less.

例えばBは、本来はTiBを形成してフェライト粒の微細化効果をもたらすものの、過剰な含有は耐酸性や靭性の劣化をもたらしてしまうことがあり、望ましくは0.10質量%以下に抑える。生産性では不利となるが、より望ましくは0.05質量%以下に抑える。
また、この他のV、Co、As、Oについても、耐酸性に影響を及ぼさないように0.10質量%以下、さらには0.05質量%以下に抑えることが望ましい。
For example, Ti originally binds to C, N, and S to improve acid resistance and intergranular corrosion resistance, and has a fixing action of C and N, but excessive inclusion causes deterioration of castability and toughness. It is desirable that the content be suppressed to 0.50% by mass or less. Although it is disadvantageous in productivity, it is more preferably suppressed to 0.20 mass% or less.
For example, B originally forms TiB and brings about the effect of refining ferrite grains, but excessive inclusion may lead to deterioration of acid resistance and toughness, and is preferably suppressed to 0.10% by mass or less. Although it is disadvantageous in terms of productivity, it is more preferably limited to 0.05% by mass or less.
In addition, other V, Co, As, and O are desirably suppressed to 0.10% by mass or less, and further 0.05% by mass or less so as not to affect the acid resistance.

また、本発明の鋳造部材としては、例えば、上述したEGRシステムにおいて使用されるガス配管、クーラー部品、EGRバルブなどがある。本発明の鋳造部材は被削性の点でも良好であるので、特に機械加工を施すことが多いEGRバルブのボディすなわち排気ガスの流路を切り替える切替バルブ用部材への適用は好ましく、生産性向上に格段に寄与できる。
Next, the cast member excellent in acid resistance of the present invention will be described.
The cast member of the present invention is obtained by casting using the above-described ferritic stainless cast steel of the present invention, and has the same composition and mechanical properties as this ferritic stainless cast steel.

By applying to gas pipes, cooler parts, EGR valves, and the like, it is possible to obtain an exhaust gas recirculation system member that does not corrode for a long time.
Moreover, as a cast member of this invention, there exist a gas piping, cooler components, an EGR valve, etc. which are used in the EGR system mentioned above, for example.

In terms of productivity, it is advantageous to apply a precision casting method such as lost wax casting in which a casting mold is manufactured from a vanishing model having substantially the same shape as the product. Furthermore, a method can be used in which a casting obtained by casting is subjected to heat treatment such as HIP processing, machining such as cutting or grinding, post-treatment such as deburring or polishing, etc., if necessary. .

Specifically, the above disappearable model was simultaneously injection-molded with a hot water, a runway, and the like made of the same wax as this, to obtain a drum-shaped model in which the hot water, the runway, and the like were integrated. The drum-shaped model was repeatedly coated with a slurry containing refractory colloidal silica and stucco containing zircon sand to obtain a mold having a plurality of refractory layers.

そして、上記鋳型を十分に乾燥させた後、高温水蒸気オートクレーブによって鋳型内から、ワックスからなるドラム状模型、つまり、EGRバルブ1と実質的に同一の形状を有する消失性模型と押湯や湯道等を加熱溶融させて完全に溶出除去することにより、鋳造に供する鋳型を得た。
