This invention provides a precipitate hardening stainless steel having excellent structure stability, strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance, which requires no sub-zero treating and thus is excellent in terms of productivity, and a long blade for a steam turbine using the same. The following are provided: a precipitate hardening stainless steel, which comprises C at 0.05 mass % or less, N at 0.05 mass % or less, Cr at 10.0 mass % to 14.0 mass %, Ni at 8.5 mass % to 11.5 mass %, Mo at 0.5 mass % to 3.0 mass %, Ti at 1.5 mass % to 2.0 mass %, Al at 0.25 mass % to 1.00 mass %, Si at 0.5 mass % or less, and Mn at 1.0 mass % or less, and the balance is composed of Fe and inevitable impurities; and a long blade for a steam turbine composed of the precipitate hardening stainless steel. |
