Abstract (en)

A high-strength dual-phase stainless steel strip has a chemical composition consisting of 0.04-0.15 mass % C, 10.0-20.0 mass % Cr, 0.5-4.0 mass % Ni and the balance being Fe except inevitable impurities, and a metallurgical structure composed of 20-85 vol. % martensite grains and the balance ferrite grains with prior austenite grains controlled to 10 mu m or less in size. The stainless steel strip is conditioned to hardness of HV 300 or more. Transformation strains are uniformly distributed in a steel matrix during martensitic transformation, so that the steel strip is formed and straightened to a belt shape without L}ders band. Consequently, steel belts with fine external appearance are manufactured from the stainless steel strip.
