Abstract

A high-strength ferritic stainless steel for clamp includes, in percent (%) by weight of the entire composition, C: 0.04 to 0.1%, Si: 0.2 to 0.6%, Mn: 0.01 to 1.5%, Cr: 14.0 to 18.0%, Al: 0.005 to 0.2%, V: 0.005 to 0.2%, N: 0.02 to 0.1%, the remainder of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, and satisfies following formulas (1) and (2), and the number of precipitates with an average diameter of 0.5 μm or less is 2.5×10 6 pieces/mid or more: (1) 0.35%≤Si+Al+V≤0.6% and (2) 0.09%≤C+N≤0.12%.

Claims (21)

1 . A high-strength ferritic stainless steel for clamp, the ferritic stainless steel comprising, in percent (%) by weight of the entire composition, C: 0.04 to 0.1%, Si: 0.2 to 0.6%, Mn: 0.01 to 1.5%, Cr: 14.0 to 18.0%, Al: 0.005 to 0.2%, V: 0.005 to 0.2%, N: 0.02 to 0.1%, the remainder of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, and satisfying following formulas (1) and (2), and

the number of precipitates with an average diameter of 0.5 μm or less is 2.5×10 6 pieces/mm 2 or more.

0.35%≤Si+Al+V≤0.6%  (1)

0.09%≤C+N≤0.12%  (2)

(Here, Si, Al, V, C, and N mean the content (% by weight) of each element)

2 . The ferritic stainless steel according to claim 1 , further comprising:

any one or more selected from a group consisting of Ni: 0.001 to 0.5%, P: 0.05% or less, and S: 0.005% or less.

3 . The ferritic stainless steel according to claim 1 , wherein the precipitate comprises a Cr carbonitride.

4 . The ferritic stainless steel according to claim 1 , wherein the ferritic stainless steel has a yield strength of 320 MPa or more, a tensile strength of 510 MPa or more, and an elongation of 20% or more.

5 . A manufacturing method of a high-strength ferritic stainless steel for clamp, the method comprising:

hot rolling a slab by reheating at 1,000 to 1,200° C., the slab comprises, in percent (%) by weight of the entire composition, C: 0.04 to 0.1%, Si: 0.2 to 0.6%, Mn: 0.01 to 1.5%, Cr: 14.0 to 18.0%, Al: 0.005 to 0.2%, V: 0.005 to 0.2%, N: 0.02 to 0.1%, the remainder of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, and satisfies following formulas (1) and (2);

winding the hot-rolled steel sheet at 700° C. or more;

cold rolling the wound hot-rolled steel sheet at a reduction ratio of 60% or more; and

performing annealing heat treatment on the cold-rolled steel sheet for 10 minutes or less at 550 to 950° C., and

the method is characterized in that an annealing heat treatment of the wound hot-rolled steel sheet is omitted.

0.35%≤Si+Al+V≤0.6%  (1)

0.09%≤C+N≤0.12%  (2)

(Here, Si, Al, V, C, and N mean the content (% by weight) of each element)

6 . The manufacturing method according to claim 5 , wherein the cold-rolled steel sheet subjected to the annealing heat treatment has 2.5×10 6 pieces/mm 2 or more precipitates with an average diameter of 0.5 μm or less.

7 . The manufacturing method according to claim 6 , wherein the precipitate comprises a Cr carbonitride.

8 . The manufacturing method according to claim 5 , wherein the cold-rolled steel sheet subjected to the annealing heat treatment has a yield strength of 320 MPa or more, tensile strength of 510 MPa or more, and elongation of 20% or more.
