Abstract
A stainless steel exhibiting excellent anticorrosion property for use in engine exhaust systems comprises not more than 0.010% C, not more than 0.2% Si, 0.05%-1.5% Mn, 12%-20% Cr, 0.2%-3.0% Mo, 0.005%-0.1% Al, not more than 0.015% N, not more than 0.025% P, not more than 0.010% S, either or both of 10.times.(C %+N %)-0.5% Ti and 5.times.(C %+N %) 0.5% Nb, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities. An additional improvement in the anticorrosion property of the stainless steel can be obtained by further adding thereto one or more of 0.1%-1.0% Ni, 0.03%-1.0% Cu, 0.05%-0.5% W, 0.05%-0.5% V and 0.05%-1.0% Zr and/or one or both of 0.001%-0.03% Ca and 0.001%-0.03% Ce.
