The present invention relates to the austenitic steel having improved resistance to oxidation at the high temperature, comprising not more than 0.10% C, 0.1-5.0% Si, not more than 3% Mn, 7-45% Ni, 15-30% Cr and sulfur content being restricted to not more than 0.003%. According to the present invention, by limiting the sulfur content in the austenitic steel to not more than 0.003%, preferably to not more than 0.0015%, the heat-resisting steel material which can show improved resistance to oxidation under severe conditions including repeated heating to high temperatures and cooling to room temperature is provided.

High temperature oxidation resistant austenitic steel

A ferritic stainless steel having improved weldability and oxidation resistance, consisting essentially of 11.0 - 20.0% by weight of Cr, less than 0.10% by weight of C, less than 1.5% by weight of Si, less than 1.5% by weight of Mn, less than 1.5% by weight of Zr, the ratio of (Zr%)/(C% + N%) being higher than 7, and the balance of Fe, and the nitrogen amount being restricted to less than 0.015% by weight.
