An austenitic-ferritic stainless steel having a low Ni content and a high N content is provided. A stainless steel which contains, in mass %, 0.2 % or less of C, 4 % or less of Si, 12 % or less of Mn, 0.1 % or less of P, 0.03 % or less of S, 15 to 35 % of Cr, 3 % or less of Ni, and 0.05 to 0.6 % of N, and is mainly composed of an austenite phase and a ferrite phase, wherein the proportion of said austenite phase is 10 to 85 volume %. The above austenitic-ferritic stainless steel exhibits good formability and high punch stretch formability, and is excellent in the resistance to crevice corrosion, to the corrosion of a welded zone and to intergranular corrosion. The above austenitic-ferritic stainless steel wherein the austenite phase contains C and N in a total amount of 0.16 to 2 mass % exhibits further improved formability.
