Abstract

On at least one surface of a base metal plate ( 1 ) of an α-γ transforming Fe or Fe alloy, a metal layer ( 2 ) containing ferrite former is formed. Next, the base metal plate ( 1 ) and the metal layer ( 2 ) are heated to an A3 point of the Fe or the Fe alloy, whereby the ferrite former are diffused into the base metal plate ( 1 ) to form an alloy region ( 1 b ) in a ferrite phase in which an accumulation degree of {200} planes is 25% or more and an accumulation degree of {222} planes is 40% or less. Next, the base metal plate ( 1 ) is heated to a temperature higher than the A3 point of the Fe or the Fe alloy, whereby the accumulation degree of the {200} planes is increased and the accumulation degree of the {222} planes is decreased while the alloy region ( 11 b ) is maintained in the ferrite phase.

Claims (8)

1. An Fe-based metal plate, containing ferrite former,

wherein, in a surface, an accumulation degree of {200} planes in a ferrite phase is 30% or more and an accumulation degree of {222} planes in the ferrite phase is 30% or less, and

wherein a ratio of an α single phase region to the Fe-based metal plate in a thickness direction is not less than 5% nor more than 80%.

2. The Fe-based metal plate according to claim 1 , being formed by diffusion of the ferrite former from a surface to an inner part of an α-γ transforming Fe or Fe alloy plate.

3. The Fe-based metal plate according to claim 1 , comprising, on the surface, a metal layer containing the ferrite former.

4. The Fe-based metal plate according to claim 1 , wherein the accumulation degree of the {200} planes is 50% or more and the accumulation degree of the {222} planes is 15% or less.

5. The Fe-based metal plate according to claim 1 , wherein the ferrite former is Al, Cr, Ga, Ge, Mo, Sb, Si, Sn, Ti, V, W, Zn, or any combination thereof.

6. The Fe-based metal plate according to claim 1 , further containing a 1% ferrite single phase region or more in terms of an area ratio in a thicknesswise cross section of the metal plate.
