Abstract

An Fe-Cr-Mn alloy is disclosed which has the following composition by wt% and corrosion resistance of which is improved and deterioration in its strength is prevented at grain boundaries due to irradiation of high-energy particles such as neutrons: 5 to 40% of Mn, 5 to 18% of Cr, 2.0 to 12% of Al and the balance of Fe except for unavoidable impurities. In the alloy according to the present invention, Al is added to an Fe-Cr-Mn alloy by a restricted quantity as a main component element. As a result of the addition of Al, an alloy can be obtained in which lowering of concentration of Cr at grain boundaries due to irradiation of high-energy particles such as neutrons can be prevented or concentration of the solutes can be raised.
