Abstract

A ferritic stainless steel sheet having excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and ridging resistance and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. A ferritic stainless steel sheet has a chemical composition containing, in terms of mass %, C: 0.005 to 0.030%, Si: 0.05 to 1.00%, Mn: 0.05 to 1.00%, P: 0.040% or less, S: 0.030% or less, Al: 0.001 to 0.150%, Cr: 10.8 to 14.4%, Ni: 0.01 to 2.50%, and N: 0.005 to 0.060%, with the balance being Fe and incidental impurities. The elongation after fracture is 28% or more, and the ridging height of a surface of a steel sheet to which a tensile strain of 23% has been applied in a rolling direction is 3.0 μm or less.
