Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a martensite-based precipitation strengthening stainless steel, which effectively enables crystal grains to become finer by improving a solution treatment method. The method for manufacturing a martensite-based precipitation strengthening stainless steel containing 0.01 to 0.05 mass % of C, 0.2 mass % or less of Si, 0.4 mass % or less of Mn, 7.5 to 11.0 mass % of Ni, 10.5 to 14.5 mass % of Cr, 1.75 to 2.50 mass % of Mo, 0.9 to 2.0 mass % of Al, less than 0.2 mass % of Ti, and Fe and impurities as a remainder, which is provided by the present invention, includes performing a solid solution treatment at 845 to 895° C. once or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a martensite-based precipitation strengthening stainless steel which contains 0.01 to 0.05 mass of C, 0.2 mass or less of Si, 0.4 mass or less of Mn, 7.5 to 11.0 mass of Ni, 10.5 to 14.5 mass of Cr, 1.75 to 2.50 mass of Mo, 0.9 to 2.0 mass of Al, less than 0.2 mass of Ti, and Fe and impurities as a remainder, wherein by performing a solid solution treatment at temperatures within a range of 845 to 895° C. for 0.5 to 3 hours multiple times, a crystal grain size number after the solid solution treatment becomes 7 or more, the crystal grain size number being measured by a method defined in ASTM-E112, and all of the solid solution treatments are performed at temperatures within the range of 845 to 895° C. 2. The method for manufacturing the martensite-based precipitation strengthening stainless steel according to claim 1 , wherein an aging treatment at 500 to 600° C. is performed for 1 to 24 hours after the last solid solution treatment is performed. 3. The method for manufacturing the martensite-based precipitation strengthening stainless steel according to claim 2 , wherein a sub-zero treatment is performed at temperatures within a range of −50 to −100° C. within 24 hours after the last solid solution treatment is performed and before the aging treatment.
