Abstract
The problem to be solved is the provision of a high-strength stainless steel pipe having a sufficient corrosion resistance in a high-temperature carbonic acid gas environment and having an excellent sulfide stress cracking resistance at normal temperature. A high-strength stainless steel pipe consist of, by mass %, C: 0.05% or less, Si: 1.0% or less, P: 0.05% or less, S: less than 0.002%, Cr: more than 16% and 18% or less, Mo: more than 2% and 3% or less, Cu: 1% to 3.5%, Ni: 3% or more and less than 5%, Al: 0.001% to 0.1% and O: 0.01% or less, Mn: 1% or less and N: 0.05% or less, and Mn and N in the above ranges satisfy formula (1), and the balance being Fe and impurities; and the metal micro-structure of the stainless steel pipe mainly includes a martensitic phase and comprises 10 to 40% of a ferritic phase by volume fraction and 10% or less of a retained γ-phase by volume fraction.[Mn]×([N]−0.0045)≦0.001  (1)wherein the symbols of elements in formula (1) respectively represent the contents (unit: mass %) of the elements in the steel.
