Abstract:
A ferritic stainless steel plate having a sheet thickness t of 5.0 to 12.0 mm, including a chemical composition consisting of, in mass percent, C: 0.001 to 0.010%, Si: 0.01 to 1.0%, Mn: 0.01 to 1.0%, P: 0.04% or less, S: 0.010% or less, Cr: 10.0 to 20.0%, Ni: 0.01 to 1.0%, Ti: 0.10 to 0.30%, V: 0.01 to 0.40%, Al: 0.005 to 0.3%, N: 0.001 to 0.02%, and as necessary, one or more of B, Mo, Cu, Mg, Sn, Sb, Zr, Ta, Nb, Hf, W, Co, Ca, REM, and Ga, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, wherein in a steel micro-structure, on a cross section parallel to a rolling direction, an area ratio of structures each satisfying: major grain diameter/minor grain diameter being less than 5.0 is 90% or more, and an average minor grain diameter of the structures is 55 μm or less. The ferritic stainless steel sheet is excellent in toughness and suitable for an automobile exhaust flange member and the like.
