Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This ferritic stainless steel has a predetermined chemical composition, at least one type of oxides of oxides containing 5 mass % or more of Al and oxides containing 5 mass % or more of Si are present on the surface, and, among the oxides present on the surface, the number of oxides having a diameter D of 0.1 μm or more and 2.0 μm or less is 10 or more per 93 μm 2 , the diameter D being represented by D=(Dmax+Dmin)/2 where Dmax is the maximum diameter of the oxide on the surface and Dmin is the minimum diameter of the oxide on the surface.
