Abstract: A ferritic stainless steel sheet is a ferritic stainless steel sheet which is temper rolled after bright annealing and has a passivation film. The area ratio of minute defects having an area of 10 ?m2 or more on the surface of the steel sheet is 0.2% or more and 1.5% or less. In addition, the thickness of the passivation film is 1 nm or more and 10 nm or less, the average concentration of Si in the passivation film is 10 at % or more and 20 at % or less, and the average concentration ratio of Si, Al, Cr and Fe in the passivation film component is (Si+Al+Cr)/Fe>1.0.

Abstract: A method of producing a steel sheet coated with a fluororesin film by heat-fusing the fluororesin film onto a surface of the steel sheet, comprising heating the surface of the steel sheet to a temperature higher by 30-120 degrees C. than a melting point of the fluororesin of the fluororesin film, and contact bonding the fluororesin film onto the steel sheet surface between a pair of rolls, while a surface of a roll facing the fluororesin film, in the pair of rolls, is heated to a temperature lower by 100-210 degrees C. than the melting point of the fluororesin of the fluororesin film.
