Abstract
Provided is a ferritic stainless steel having a chemical composition containing, in mass %: 0.003% to 0.025% of C; 0.05% to 1.00% of Si; 0.05% to 1.00% of Mn; 0.04% or less of P; 0.01% or less of S; 16.0% to 23.0% of Cr; 0.20% to 0.80% of Cu; 0.05% to 0.60% of Ni; 0.20% to 0.70% of Nb; 0.005% to 0.020% of N; and the balance being Fe and incidental impurities, in which a nitrogen-enriched layer is present that has a nitrogen concentration peak value of 0.03 mass % to 0.30 mass % at a depth of within 0.05 μm of a surface of the steel.
