Abstract
A martensitic stainless steel capable of developing a tempered martensitic structure, comprising by weight C: 0.005 to 0.05%, Si.ltoreq.0.50%, Mn: 0.1 to 1.0%, P.ltoreq.0.03%, S.ltoreq.0.005%, Mo: 1.0 to 3.0%, Cu: 1.0 to 4.0%, Ni: 5 to 8%, Al.ltoreq.0.06%, Cr and Mo satisfying a requirement represented by the formula Cr+1.6Mo.gtoreq.13; and C, N, Ni, Cu, Cr, and Mo satisfying a requirement represented by the formula Ni(eq): 40C+34N+Ni+0.3Cu-1.1Cr-1.8Mo.gtoreq.-10.5, and optionally at least one member selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Ca, and REM, with the balance consisting essentially of Fe. The present invention provides a martensitic stainless steel having excellent resistance to corrosion by CO.sub.2 and sulfide stress cracking and good hot workability.
