摘要 |
The stainless steel according to the invention is a tempered martensitic stainless steel which has a hardness of at least HRC 58 after quenching and thermal tempering treatment. The limiting forging ratio of this tempered martensitic stainless steel is at least 75%. The hardness of the tempered martensitic stainless steel is at most HB 157. Preferably, the number of the carbides having dimensions of 0.2 mu m or less represents at most 50% of the total carbides, the limiting forging ratio of the tempered martensitic stainless steel being at least 75% or its hardness being at most HB 157. Preferably the stainless steel has a chemical composition which, in terms of weight, comprises 0.4-0.6% of C, at most 0.5% of Si, at most 0.5% of Mn, 8.0-13.0% of Cr, 0.1-2.0% of W and/or Mo, calculated as (W/2 + Mo), 0.05-1.0% of Nb and/or V, calculated as (Nb/2 + V), 0.2-2.0% of Co, the remainder being Fe and chance impurities.
