Abstract

The present invention provides a ferritic stainless steel foil high in stretch-expand formability and further small in anisotropy of deformation with respect to stretch-expand forming even with ultrathin steel foil with a thickness of 60 μm or less. The ferritic stainless steel foil has a thickness of 5 μm to 60 μm, wherein a recrystallization rate of the stainless steel foil is 90% to 100%, and in an orientation distribution function obtained by analysis of a crystalline texture of the stainless steel foil, when a Euler angle φ2 is 45°±10°, at a plane expressed by a Euler angle Φ of 53.4°±10°, a maximum peak strength ratio in peak strength ratios shown by orientations corresponding to a Euler angle φ1 is 25 or less, where the Euler angle φ1 is 0 to 90°. The ferritic stainless steel foil may be laminated with a resin film and is useful for producing a battery case.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A ferritic stainless steel foil having a thickness of 5 μm to 40 μm, wherein a recrystallization rate of said stainless steel foil is 90% to 100%, and
in an orientation distribution function obtained by analysis of a crystalline texture of said stainless steel foil, when a Euler angle ϕ2 is 45°±10°, at a plane expressed by a Euler angle Φ of 53.4°±10°, a maximum peak strength ratio in peak strength ratios shown by orientations corresponding to a Euler angle ϕ1 is 25 or less,
where the Euler angle ϕ1 is 0 to 90°.

2. The ferritic stainless steel foil according to claim 1 wherein a number of crystal grains in the thickness direction is three or more, wherein the number of crystal grains is obtained by dividing the thickness by average crystal grain size based on JIS G 0551.

3. The ferritic stainless steel foil according to claim 1 , wherein a surface layer of the ferric stainless steel foil has a nitrogen concentration of 1.0 mass % or less.

4. The ferritic stainless steel foil according to claim 1 , wherein a resin film is laminated on at least one surface of said ferritic stainless steel foil.

5. The ferritic stainless steel foil according to claim 2 , wherein a surface layer of the ferric stainless steel foil has a nitrogen concentration of 1.0 mass % or less.

6. The ferritic stainless steel foil according to claim 2 , wherein a resin film is laminated on at least one surface of said ferritic stainless steel foil.

7. The ferritic stainless steel foil according to claim 3 , wherein a resin film is laminated on at least one surface of said ferritic stainless steel foil.
