Abstract

Provided is a martensite-based stainless steel component that has a nitride layer on a surface of a martensite-based stainless steel with a constituent composition including, in percent by mass, 0.25 to 0.45% of C, 1.0% or less of Si, 0.1 to 1.5% of Mn, 12.0 to 15.0% of Cr, and 0.5 to 3.0% of Mo, with a remainder being Fe and impurities, wherein hardness at a position of a depth of 0.1 mm from a surface of the martensite-based stainless steel component is 650 HV or more, and a number density of carbide with an equivalent circle diameter of 1 μm or more is 100 particles/10000 μm 2 in a sectional structure at the position of the depth of 0.1 mm from the surface of the martensite-based stainless steel component. Also, a method for manufacturing the martensite-based stainless steel component is provided.

Claims (16)

1. A martensite-based stainless steel component that has a nitride layer on a surface of martensite-based stainless steel with a constituent composition of, in percent by mass, 0.25 to 0.45% of C, 1.0% or less of Si, 0.1 to 1.5% of Mn, 12.0 to 15.0% of Cr, and 0.5 to 3.0% of Mo, with the remainder being Fe and impurities,

wherein a hardness at a position of a depth of 0.1 mm from a surface of the martensite-based stainless steel component is 650 HV or more, and

a number density of carbide particles with an equivalent circle diameter of 1 μm or more is 100 particles/10,000 μm 2 or less in a sectional structure at a position of a depth of 0.1 mm from the surface of the martensite-based stainless steel component.

2. The martensite-based stainless steel component according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of a compound layer that the nitride layer has is 1 μm or less.
