On the other hand, to ensure strength required in exhaust system members, the amount of C is preferably 0.001 mass % or more.

  • Mn is an element that increases the strength of a steel and also has an effect as a deoxidizing material. It is preferable that the addition amount be 0.05 mass % or more.

  • Cu is an element that is very effective for increasing thermal fatigue resistance. As shown in FIG. 3 , to obtain thermal fatigue resistance that is equivalent to or higher than that of SUS444, a Cu addition amount of 1.0 mass % or more is necessary. However, if the addition amount is larger than 2.5 mass %, ⁇ -Cu is precipitated during the cooling after heat treatment thereby to harden the steel and readily cause embrittlement during hot-working. More importantly, though the thermal fatigue resistance is increased by the addition of Cu, the oxidation resistance of steel itself is rather decreased. Therefore, the overall heat resistance may be decreased.
  • the amount of Cu is determined in the range of 1.0 to 2.5 mass %, more preferably in the range of 1.1 to 1.8 mass %.
