2. Description of the Related Art Since B (boron) has a large neutron capture cross section, austenitic stainless steel containing B is used as a neutron control material and a shielding material. As such a steel, SUS 304 series stainless steel containing B in an amount of about 1% is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-45464. In addition, since B precipitates as (Cr, Fe) 2 B, the amount of Cr in the base material decreases and corrosion resistance deteriorates. Therefore, a B-containing stainless steel with an increased Cr concentration has also been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Sho.
62-222049). However, if the Cr content of the base material is significantly increased, the Ni content must be increased in order to maintain the austenite structure, which increases the manufacturing cost.

By the way, in recent years, in order to miniaturize the rack for storing spent nuclear fuel, further thinning of stainless steel as a raw material has been demanded, and it is necessary to develop a steel material having high neutron absorption ability and excellent corrosion resistance. It's coming. However, when the B content in the stainless steel is increased, the B compound is precipitated and the corrosion resistance is lowered as described above, and the hot workability is significantly deteriorated, and cracks occur during hot rolling. That is,
During the hot rolling, the temperature of the plate decreases as the rolling progresses, so that the B-added steel causes edge cracking.
For this reason, there arises a problem of a decrease in yield, and if it is attempted to avoid this, a heat treatment such as reheating is required, and the manufacturing cost increases.

The absorption of neutrons by B is due to 10 B having an atomic weight of 10 contained in natural B in an amount of about 20 atomic%. The neutron capture cross section of 10 B (about 3800 b) is contained in natural B in an amount of about 80 atomic%. It is about 10 6 times larger than the 11 B neutron capture cross section (5 ± 3 mb). Therefore, if B having a higher content rate of 10 B is used as B added to the stainless steel, the neutron absorption capacity is higher than that when natural B is added even with the same addition amount. However, the atomic weight is 1
Separation of only different isotopes is difficult and costly.

Regarding the effect of Gd, when compared with the same B content, it is as in Comparative Steel No. 35 (B: 0.52%, Gd: 0.01%).
When 0.01% of Gd is included, the comparative steel No. 29 is used as a standard.
No increase in neutron absorption capacity was observed with respect to (B: 0.53%, Gd: not added), but steel No. 1 of the present invention containing 0.05% or more of Gd (B: 0.52%, Gd: 0.07%) ), The neutron absorption capacity is 1.4 times higher, and the invention steel No. 27 (B:
0.51%, Gd: 0.32%) and No. 28 (B: 0.52%, Gd:
0.33%) increased 3.1 times and 3.2 times, respectively. Therefore, in order to increase the neutron absorption capacity, the content of Gd should be
It is necessary to set it to 0.05% or more. However, if the content exceeds 1.0%, cracking occurs during hot forging, making it impossible to forge (Comparative Steel Nos. 36 and 37). This is because the eutectic reaction occurs between Gd and Fe, Ni and Cr as described above.
It is considered that this is because a eutectic compound having a low melting point is produced.

In No. 34 and No. 34, an ear crack having a crack length of more than 10 mm occurred, but in the steels No. 5 and No. 6 of the present invention, the B content can be kept low, so that the crack length is as small as 10 mm or less. It stayed in the crack. Moreover, when B is added, Cr 2 B precipitates, and the amount of Cr decreases by that amount, but because the addition of Gd stabilizes the passive film, the corrosion rate in the sulfuric acid / copper sulfate test is small, and the corrosion resistance is high.
