First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A ferritic stainless steel sheet having a chemical composition consisting of, by mass %: C: 0.005 to 0.030%, Si: 0.05 to 1.00%, Mn: 0.05 to 1.00%, P: 0.040% or less, S: 0.030% or less, Al: 0.031 to 0.150%, Cr: 10.8 to 14.4%, Ni: 1.20 to 2.50%, N: 0.005 to 0.060%, optionally at least one element selected from the group consisting of Co, Cu, Mo, W, V, Zr, Nb, B, Mg, Ca, Y, REM, and Sb, and a balance being Fe and incidental impurities, wherein: the steel sheet has an elongation after fracture of 28% or more, and a surface of the steel sheet has a ridging height of 3.0 μm or less when a tensile strain of 23% is applied in a rolling direction to the steel sheet. 2. The ferritic stainless steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical composition includes, by mass %, at least one selected from the group consisting of: Co: 0.01 to 0.50%, Cu: 0.01 to 0.80%, Mo: 0.01 to 0.30%, and W: 0.01 to 0.50%. 3. The ferritic stainless steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the chemical composition includes, by mass %, at least one selected from the group consisting of: V: 0.01 to 0.10%, Zr: 0.01 to 0.10%, and Nb: 0.01 to 0.30%, wherein a value of formula (1) below is 0.0 or less: 54×(V+Zr+Nb)−5×Mn−19×Ni+1.0  formula (1) where, in formula (1) above, respective element symbols represent contents (mass %) of respective elements, or 0 when corresponding elements are not present. 4. The ferritic stainless steel sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the chemical composition includes, by mass %, at least one selected from the group consisting of: B: 0.0003 to 0.0030%, Mg: 0.0005 to 0.0100%, Ca: 0.0003 to 0.0030%, Y: 0.01 to 0.20%, and REM (rare earth metal): 0.001 to 0.100%. 5. The ferritic stainless steel sheet according to claim 4 , wherein the chemical composition includes, by mass %, Sb: 0.001 to 0.500%. 6. A method for manufacturing the ferritic stainless steel sheet according to claim 5 , the method comprising: hot-rolling a steel slab having the chemical composition so as to form a hot-rolled sheet; performing hot-rolled sheet annealing that includes holding the hot-rolled sheet at a temperature in a range of 900° C. or more and 1100° C. or less for 5 seconds to 15 minutes so as to form a hot-rolled and annealed sheet; cold-rolling the hot-rolled and annealed sheet so as to form a cold-rolled sheet; and performing cold-rolled sheet annealing that includes holding the cold-rolled sheet at a temperature in a range of 780° C. or more and 830° C. or less for 5 seconds to 5 minutes; thereby producing the ferritic stainless steel sheet of claim 5 . 7. The ferritic stainless steel sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the chemical composition includes, by mass %, Sb: 0.001 to 0.500%. 8. The ferritic stainless steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the chemical composition includes, by mass %, at least one selected from the group consisting of: B: 0.0003 to 0.0030%, Mg: 0.0005 to 0.0100%, Ca: 0.0003 to 0.0030%, Y: 0.01 to 0.20%, and REM (rare earth metal): 0.001 to 0.100%. 9.
