Ti-containing ferritic stainless steel sheet for exhaust pipe flange member, production method, and flange member

摘要

A Ti-containing ferritic stainless steel sheet for an exhaust pipe flange member has a composition containing, in mass percentage, from 0.003 to 0.030% of C, 2.0% or less of S i, 2.0% or less of Mn, 0.050% or less of P, 0.040% or less of S, from 10.0 to 19.0% of Cr, 0.030% or less of N, from 0.07 to 0.50% of Ti, from 0.010 to 0.20% of Al, from 0 to 1.50% of Mo, and from 0 to 0.0030% of B, with the balance Fe and unavoidable impurities, has a K value of 150 or more, has a sheet surface hardness of 170 HV or less, and has a sheet thickness of from 5.0 to 11.0 mm. The K value equals −0.07×Cr−6790×Free(C+N)−1.44×d+267, wherein Free(C+N) corresponds to the solid-dissolved (C+N) concentration (% by mass), and d represents an average crystal grain diameter (μm).
