Abstract

Provided is duplex stainless steel having high strength, SCC resistance and SSC resistance excellent in a high-temperature chloride environment, and capable of suppressing precipitation of a σ phase. The duplex stainless steel of the present embodiment includes, in mass %, of: C: at most 0.03%; Si: 0.2 to 1%; Mn: more than 5.0% to at most 10%; P: at most 0.040%; S: at most 0.010%; Ni: 4.5 to 8%; sol. Al: at most 0.040%; N: more than 0.2% to at most 0.4%; Cr: 24 to 29%; Mo: 0.5 to less than 1.5%; Cu: 1.5 to 3.5%; W: 0.05 to 0.2%; the balance being Fe and impurities, wherein the duplex stainless steel satisfies Formula (1): Cr+8Ni+Cu+Mo+W/2≥65 . . . (1), where a symbol of each element in Formula (1) represents a content of the element (in mass %).
