  • Patent number: 11365467
    Abstract: Provided is a ferritic stainless steel having excellent brazability and excellent corrosion resistance to condensed water in an environment in which the ferritic stainless steel is used for an exhaust heat recovery device or an EGR cooler. The ferritic stainless steel has a composition containing, in mass %, C: 0.025% or less, Si: 0.01% or more and less than 0.40%, Mn: 0.05 to 1.5%, P: 0.05% or less, S: 0.01% or less, Cr: 17.0 to 30.0%, Mo: 1.10 to 3.0%, Ni: more than 0.80% and 3.0% or less, Nb: 0.20 to 0.80%, Al: 0.001 to 0.10%, and N: 0.025% or less, with the balance being Fe and incidental impurities, and satisfying the following expression (1) and expression (2): C+N?0.030%??(1) Cr+Mo?19.0%??(2) where C, N, Cr, and Mo in expression (1) and expression (2) represent the contents (mass %) of the corresponding elements.

  • Publication number: 20210102279
    Abstract: A ferritic stainless steel having good corrosion resistance and good brazability in the case where brazing is performed with a Ni-containing brazing filler metal at a high temperature. The ferritic stainless steel has a chemical composition comprising, by mass %, C: 0.003% to 0.020%, Si: 0.05% to 0.60%, Mn: 0.05% to 0.30%, P: 0.040% or less, S: 0.020% or less, Cr: 17.0% to 22.0%, Ni: 0.20% to 0.80%, Cu: 0.30% to 0.80%, Mo: 0.01% to 0.10%, Al: 0.001% to 0.015%, Nb: 0.25% to 0.60%, N: 0.020% or less, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. The expression 4Ni?(Si+Mn)?0.00% is satisfied, where each of Ni, Si, and Mn denotes a content, by mass %, of a corresponding element.
