Method for manufacturing steel strip for blade, and steel strip for blade
A method for manufacturing a steel strip for a blade and a steel strip for a plate, said method includes a batch annealing step for annealing a material for cold rolling having the aforementioned metal composition in a batch annealing furnace and a cold rolling step for forming a steel strip by performing cold rolling one or more times on the material for cold rolling that has been batch annealed. The batch annealing step includes a first uniform temperature step for maintaining heating for 1 to 12 hours at an internal furnace temperature exceeding 450° C. and less than 770° C. and a second uniform temperature step, carried out after the first uniform temperature step, for maintaining heating for 1 to 16 hours at an internal furnace temperature exceeding 770° C. and less than 900° C.
1. A method for manufacturing a steel strip for a blade that includes, in percent by mass, 0.55 to 0.80% C, 1.0% or less Si, 1.0% or less Mn, and 12.0 to 14.0% Cr with the remainder being Fe and inevitable impurities, the method comprising:
a batch annealing step for annealing in a vacuum a material for cold rolling having the aforementioned composition wound in a coil shape using a batch annealing furnace;
a cooling step for cooling the material is performed until a material temperature reaches 600 to 750° C.; and
a cold rolling step for forming a steel strip by performing cold rolling one or more times on the material for cold rolling that has been batch annealed and cooled,
wherein the batch annealing step includes a first uniform temperature step for maintaining heating for 2 to 5 hours at an internal furnace temperature exceeding 450° C. and less than 690° C. that is lower than a transformation point of the material to precipitate carbide, and a second uniform temperature step, carried out after the first uniform temperature step, for maintaining heating for 5 to 11 hours at an internal furnace temperature exceeding 800° C. and less than 900°° C. that is equal to or greater than the transformation point of the material to form the carbide into a spherical shape,
