  • Patent number: 10774396
    Abstract: Disclosed is a manufacturing method for a seawater-resistant stainless clad steel including a cladding material made of stainless steel having a pitting index represented by Cr[mas %]+3.3Mo[mass %]+16N[mass %], of 35.0 or more and a microstructure in a surface portion thereof including, by area ratio, less than 2.0% of a ? phase. The method including the steps of performing a mechanical treatment from at least one of grindstone polishing and belt polishing and performing at least one of an electrolytic treatment in acid solutions or in neutral salt solutions, and a pickling treatment, to manufacture the stainless clad steel having dynamic friction coefficients in the rolling direction and in a direction at a right angle to the rolling direction, determined in accordance with JIS K 7125, both of 0.05 or less.
