Abstract
A ferritic stainless steel sheet having ridging resistance contains, by mass, 0.025 to 0.30% C, 0.01 to 1.00% Si, 0.01 to 2.00% Mn, 0.050% or less P, 0.020% or less S, 11.0 to 22.0% Cr, and 0.022 to 0.10% N. In addition, Ap, which is defined as 420C+470N+23Ni+9Cu+7Mn−11.5(Cr+Si)−12Mo−52Al−47Nb−49Ti+189 wherein each of Sn, C, N, Ni, Cu, Mn, Cr, Si, Mo, Al, Nb, and Ti denotes the content of the element, satisfies 10≦Ap≦70. Furthermore, a content of Sn satisfies 0.060≦Sn≦0.634−0.0082Ap. Residual ingredients are Fe and unavoidable impurities, and a metal structure of the steel sheet is a ferrite single phase. The ferritic stainless steel sheet has a ridging height of less than 6 μm. This ferritic stainless steel sheet improves the corrosion resistance and rust resistance of Cr-containing ferritic stainless steel as well as the ridging resistance.
