Abstract (en)

Provided is an austenitic stainless steel having excellent anti-carburizing properties even in a high temperature carburizing environment, and an excellent hot workability in its production. The austenitic stainless steel according to the present embodiment includes a chemical composition consisting of, in mass percent, C: 0.03 to less than 0.25%, Si: 0.01 to 2.0%, Mn: 2.0% or less, Cr: 10 to less than 22%, Ni: more than 30.0% to 40.0%, Al: more than 2.5% to less than 4.5%, Nb: 0.01 to 3.5%, Ca: 0.0005 to 0.05%, Mg: 0.0005 to 0.05%, and N: 0.03% or less, with the balance being Fe and impurities. In the austenitic stainless steel, a Cr concentration Ccr' in its outer layer and an Al concentration C Al ' in the outer layer satisfy Formula (1) for a Cr concentration Ccr in an other-than-outer-layer region and an Al concentration C Al in the other-than-outer-layer region. 0.40 ‰¤ C Cr €² / C Al €² / C Cr / C Al ‰¤ 0.80
