Preferably, it is 1.4 to 2.5% in range.
  • Mn is an element which is important as a deoxidizing element, but if added in excess, it easily forms MnS which acts as starting points of corrosion. Therefore, the content of Mn has to be 0.4 to 2.0% in range. More preferably, it is 0.5 to 1.2% in range.

  • Cr is the most important element in securing the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Therefore, the lower limit of Cr content is made 16.0%.

  • Al is important as a deoxidizing element. Further, it controls the composition of the nonmetallic inclusions and refines the structure. However, if excessively added, it invites coarsening of the nonmetallic inclusions and is liable to form starting points for the formation of defects in the product. Therefore, the content of Al has to be 0.002 to 0.10% in range. Preferably it is 0.005 to 0.08% in range.
  • N improves the pitting corrosion resistance, but excessive addition, like C, causes a drop in the intergranular corrosion resistance and workability. Therefore, the content of N has to be 0.030 to 0.150% in range. Preferably, it is 0.037 to 0.10% in range.
  • Mo has an effect in repairing the passivation film and is an element which is extremely effective for improving the corrosion resistance. Furthermore, in an environment which contains nitric acid ions and chloride ions, in combination with N, it has an effect in improving the pitting corrosion resistance. Therefore, Mo has to be included in at least an amount of 0.1%. On the other hand, if increasing Mo, the corrosion resistance is improved, but excessive addition causes a drop in workability and invites a rise in costs. Accordingly, the upper limit of the content of Mo has to be made 1.0%. The preferable content of Mo is 0.2 to 0.8% in range.
  • Nb by addition, forms carbonitrides and suppresses the sensitization near the weld zone so has the effect of increasing the high temperature strength, therefore can be added in accordance with need.
  • excessive addition invites a rise in cost. Therefore, the content of Nb is preferably 0.1 to 0.7% in range.
  • Ti has effects similar to Nb, but excessive addition invites an increase in surface defects due to nitrides of titanium. Therefore, the content of Ti is preferably made 0.1 to 0.5% in range.
  • V improves the corrosion resistance and crevice corrosion resistance, so if keeping down the use of Cr and Mo and adding V, excellent workability can be secured. Therefore, V can be added in accordance with need. However, excessive addition invites a drop in workability. Accordingly, the content of V is preferably 0.1 to 3.0% in range.
  • B is a grain boundary strengthening element which is effective for improvement of the hot workability, so can be added in accordance with need. However, excessive addition becomes a cause of a drop in workability. Therefore, the lower limit of the content of B is preferably 0.0002% and the upper limit is preferably 0.003%.
  • the present invention will be further explained by examples, but the conditions in the examples are just illustrations which have been employed for confirming the workability and effects of the present invention.
