摘要 |
The invention relates to a ferritic stainless steel having enhanced high temperature strength and good resistance to high cycle fatigue, creep and oxidation for use in high temperature service, for components such as automotive exhaust manifolds. The steel contains in weight % less than 0.03% carbon, 0.05-2% silicon, 0.5-2% manganese, 17-20% chromium, 0.5-2% molybdenum, less than 0.2% titanium, 0.3-1% niobium, 1-2% copper, less than 0.03% nitrogen, 0.001-0.005% boron, the rest of the chemical composition being iron and inevitable impurities occurring in stainless steels. |
