Material for cold-rolled stainless steel sheet
Provided is a material for a cold-rolled stainless steel sheet having a chemical composition containing, by mass %, C: 0.01% to 0.05%, Si: 0.02% to 0.75%, Mn: 0.1% to 1.0%, P: 0.04% or less, S: 0.01% or less, Cr: 16.0% to 18.0%, Al: 0.001% to 0.10%, N: 0.01% to 0.06% and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. The material has a metallographic structure including a martensite phase having an area ratio of 5% to 50% and the balance being a ferrite phase. A ferrite phase in portions extending from surface layers of front and back surfaces of a steel sheet has an average grain diameter of 20 μm or more and 50 μm or less, and a ferrite phase in a central portion of the sheet includes an unrecrystallized ferrite phase.
