Abstract
A ferritic stainless steel consisting essentially of, in terms of weight %, not greater than 0.005% of C, not greater than 0.008% of N with the proviso that the sum of C and N is not greater than 0.009%, not greater than 0.45% of Si, not greater than 1% of Mn, 10 to 12.5% of Cr, 0.05 to 0.3% of Nb, 8.times.(C+N) to 0.3% of Ti, and the balance consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities is produced. A ferritic stainless steel for use in exhaust system equipment for cars, which can be produced at a low finish annealing temperature and is excellent in both formability at an ordinary temperature and in high temperature strength, can be provided.
