Abstract
A ferritic precipitation-hardened soft magnetic stainless steel is disclosed. This steel consists by weight percentage of not more than 0.1% of C, 12.0-22.0% of Cr, 1.5-6.0% of Nb, at least one of Al and Ti, provided that an amount of Al used alone is 0.5-4.0%, an amount of Ti used alone is 0.5-3.0% and an amount of Al and Ti used together is 0.5-4.0% (in the latter case, the amount of Ti does not exceed 3.0%), the remainder being Fe and incidental impurities. The steel exhibits substantially 100% ferrite phase after solution heat- and aging-treatments and has improved magnetic properties, corrosion resistance and hardness.
