Abstract

A stainless steel plate is manufactured by performing temper rolling using a dull roller after the finish cold rolling and bright annealing. The stainless steel plate has an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.2 to 1.2 μm in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction of the steel plate surface. Furthermore, the stainless steel plate has a transfer ratio of 15 to 70% which is an area ratio of a portion onto which a dull pattern is transferred relative to the steel plate surface. In addition, the micro-pits being formed in the steel plate surface, having a depth of 0.5 μm or more, and having an opening area of 10 μm 2 or more, have an existing density in the steel plate surface of 10.0 or less per 0.01 mm 2 , and an opening area ratio in the steel plate surface of 1.0% or less.

Claims (14)

1. A stainless steel plate for which temper rolling is performed by using a dull roller after a finish cold rolling and bright annealing, wherein

an arithmetic mean roughness Ra in a direction perpendicular to a rolling direction of the steel plate surface is 0.2 to 1.2 μm;

a transfer ratio, which is an area ratio of a portion onto which a dull pattern is transferred relative to the steel plate surface, is 15 to 70%; and

a micro-pit, being formed in the steel plate surface, having a depth of 0.5 μm or more, and having an opening area of 10 μm 2 or more, has an existing density in the steel plate surface of 10.0 or less per 0.01 mm 2 , and an opening area ratio in the steel plate surface of 1.0% or less.

2. The stainless steel plate according to claim 1 , wherein

the stainless steel plate is a ferritic stainless steel plate containing, on the basis of percent by mass, C at 0.10% or less, Si from 0.1 to 2.0%, Cr from 10 to 32%, and at least either one of Nb from 0.01 to 0.8% or Ti from 0.01 to 0.5%, with residue being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

3. The stainless steel plate according to claim 2 , wherein

the stainless steel plate contains, on the basis of percent by mass, at least either one of Mo from 0.2 to 5% or Cu from 0.1 to 3.0%.

4. The stainless steel plate according to claim 1 , wherein

the stainless steel plate is a ferritic stainless steel plate containing, on the basis of percent by mass, C at 0.15% or less, Si at 2% or less, Mn at 2% or less, P at 0.04% or less, S at 0.03% or less, Ni at 0.6% or less, Cr from 11 to 32%, Mo from 0 to 3%, Cu from 0 to 1%, Nb from 0 to 1%, Ti from 0 to 1%, Al from 0 to 0.12%, N at 0.025% or less, and B from 0 to 0.01%, with residue being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

5. The stainless steel plate according to claim 1 , wherein

the stainless steel plate is an austenitic stainless steel plate containing, on the basis of percent by mass, C at 0.15% or less, Si at 4% or less, Mn at 10% or less, P at 0.045% or less, S at 0.03% or less, Ni from 1 to 28%, Cr from 16 to 32%, Mo from 0 to 10%, Cu from 0 to 3.5%, Nb from 0 to 1%, Ti from 0 to 1%, Al from 0 to 0.1%, N at 0.3% or less, and B from 0 to 0.01%, with residue being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

6. The stainless steel plate according to claim 1 , wherein

the stainless steel plate is a stainless steel plate that is used for any of a hard disk drive member, a solar cell substrate material, a precision equipment member, an electronic device member, a digital equipment member, and a computer member.
