Then, forming to the above-mentioned flange was tried using various ferritic stainless steel plates (board thickness 5.0 mm). As a result, it was found that, in a steel plate having an average crystal grain size exceeding 45 ⁇ m, the toughness is lowered and a crack is easily generated.

• Si 0.05 to 0.35%
• Si has the effect of concentrating on the oxide film formed at the time of welding to improve the corrosion resistance of the welded portion, and is also an element useful as a deoxidizing element in the steel making process. These effects are obtained by containing Si of 0.05% or more, and the effect becomes larger as the content is larger.
• Si has the effect of promoting the formation of a ferrite phase. If Si is contained in excess of 0.35%, a predetermined amount of austenite phase is not sufficiently formed at the time of heating in the hot rolling step.

• the P content is preferably 0.03% or less.
• S 0.01% or less S is also an element inevitably contained in steel like P, and is an element harmful to corrosion resistance and workability, and therefore, it is preferable to reduce as much as possible.

• Al 0.001 to 0.300%
• Al is an effective deacidifying agent. Furthermore, since Al has a stronger affinity to nitrogen than Cr, when nitrogen penetrates the weld, it has the effect of precipitating nitrogen as Al nitride instead of Cr nitride to suppress sensitization. These effects are obtained by containing Al 0.001% or more. However, if the Al content exceeds 0.300%, it is not preferable because the penetration during welding decreases and the weldability decreases. Therefore, the Al content is in the range of 0.001% to 0.300%. The Al content is preferably 0.010% or more. Further, the Al content is preferably 0.200% or less, more preferably 0.100% or less, and still more preferably 0.050% or less.

On the other hand, when Cr is contained in excess of 13.0%, a predetermined amount of austenite phase is formed at the time of heating in the hot rolling process even if the steel component is adjusted to ⁇ I represented by predetermined formula (1) described later In order to avoid this, even if hot rolling and hot rolled sheet annealing are performed under the conditions specified by the present invention, the desired metallographic structure can not be obtained. Therefore, the Cr content is in the range of 10.0% to 13.0%. The Cr content is preferably 10.5% or more. Further, the Cr content is preferably 12.0% or less, more preferably 11.7% or less.

In order to obtain such an effect, it is necessary to contain 0.05% or more of Ti. On the other hand, if the Ti content exceeds 0.35%, the toughness is significantly reduced due to the formation of coarse TiN, and even if the technology of the present invention is applied, a predetermined toughness can not be obtained. Further, the content of Ti of more than 0.35% is not preferable in production because coarse Ti carbo-nitrides are formed in the casting process to cause surface defects.
