[0001] The disclosure relates to a ferritic stainless steel having magnetic properties enhanced
by controlling alloy compositions and manufacturing processes and a method thereof
to increase responsiveness to externally applied magnetic fields.
[Background Art]
[0002] With the recent development in technical areas such as smartphones, semi-autonomous
driving vehicles, etc., various electronic devices are being used, which leads to
a rapid increase in the use of electromagnetic waves. This causes an increase in interference
by electromagnetic waves between electronic devices. The interference by electromagnetic
waves may cause malfunction of the device or make it difficult for the device to be
precisely controlled. To prevent malfunction of the electronic device caused by interference
by electromagnetic waves, critical devices need to be covered by a material that may
shield magnetic fields.
[0003] In a case of low frequency or magnetic field shielding, a material having high magnetic
permeability has good shielding capability, and especially, there is a growing demand
for a material that exhibits high magnetic permeability for a low externally applied
magnetic field.

for high externally applied magnetic fields, but it has a problem having deteriorated
responsiveness to the externally applied magnetic field.

[0022] In formula (1), [C], [N], [Si], [Cr], and [Mo] each refer to a content (wt%) of the
element.
[Modes]
[0023] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, which are illustrated in the
accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are provided as examples to convey
the full spirit of the disclosure to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the
embodiments of the disclosure belong. The disclosure is not limited to the embodiments
but may be specified in any other forms. Throughout the specification, the term "include
(or including)" or "comprise (or comprising)" is inclusive or open-ended and does
not exclude additional, unrecited components, elements or method steps, unless otherwise
stated.
[0024] It is to be understood that the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural
references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0025] In an embodiment of the disclosure, a ferritic stainless steel having enhanced magnetic
properties may comprise, in percent by weight (wt%), more than 0 to 0.02% of C, more
than 0 to 0.02% of N, 0.5 to 2.0% of Si, 0.1 to 0.3% of Mn, 16.0 to 20.1% of Cr, more
than 1.0 to 2.0% of Mo, 0.1 to 0.4% of Ti, and the remainder having Fe and other unavoidable
impurities.
[0026] A reason for numerical limitation of the content of an alloy composition in an embodiment
of the disclosure will now be described. A unit of wt% will now be used unless otherwise
mentioned.
[0027] The content of C (carbon) may be more than 0 to 0.02%.
[0028] C is an impurity element that is unavoidably contained in a steel, so it is desirable
to reduce the content as much as possible. When there is an excessive content of C,
magnetic properties deteriorate due to the formation of carbide, and thus magnetic
permeability may be deteriorated. Furthermore, when the content of C is excessive,
an elongation rate decreases due to the increase in impurities, a value of work hardening
coefficient n decreases, and ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) increases,
leading to a decrease in impact characteristics. Considering this, an upper limit
of the content of C is limited to 0.02%. In consideration of machinability and mechanical
characteristics, the upper limit of the content of C may be desirably limited to 0.01
wt%.
[0029] The content of N (nitrogen) may be more than 0% to 0.02%.
[0030] When the content of N is excessive, an elongation rate decreases due to the increase
in impurities of the material, and ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT)
increases, leading to a decrease in impact characteristics. Furthermore, when the
content of N is excessive, rod-shaped AIN precipitates are formed, causing grain refinement,
resulting in deterioration of iron loss. Considering this, the upper limit of the
content of N may be limited to 0.02%. In consideration of machinability and mechanical
characteristics, the upper limit of the content of N may be desirably limited to 0.015
wt%.
[0031] The content of Si (silicon) may be 0.5% to 2.0%.
[0032] Si is an effective element for making an increase in magnetic permeability for a
low externally applied magnetic field. Considering this, 0.5% or more of Si may be
added. However, the content of Si is excessive, the elongation rate decreases, a value
of the work hardening coefficient n decreases, and Si-based inclusions increase, leading
to deterioration of machinability. Considering this, the upper limit of the content
of Si may be limited to 2.0%. In consideration of machinability, the upper limit of
the content of Si may be desirably limited to 1.0 wt%.
[0033] The content of Mn (manganese) may be 0.1 to 0.3%.
[0034] When the content of Mn is low, fine MnS precipitates are formed, causing grain refinement
and thus weakening the magnetic properties. Hence, 0.1% or more of Mn may be added
so that MnS precipitates may be formed coarsely. However, when the content of Mn is
excessive, the magnetic properties may deteriorate due to an increase in the MnS precipitate
fraction. Considering this, the upper limit of the content of Mn may be limited to
0.3%.
[0035] The content of Cr (chrome) may be 16.0 to 20.1%.
[0036] Cr is an element that improves corrosion resistance by forming a passive film in
an oxidizing environment. Considering this, 16.0% or more of Cr may be added. However,
when the content of Cr is excessive, it promotes delta (δ) ferrite formation in the
slab, reducing the elongation rate and impact toughness, and reduces magnetic permeability.
Considering this, the upper limit of the content of Cr may be limited to 20.1%.
[0037] The content of Mo (molybdenum) may be more than 1.0 to 2.0%.
[0038] Mo is an effective element to increase the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.
Considering this, 1.0% or more may be added. However, when the content of Mo is excessive,
it is segregated on grain boundaries and plays a role in suppressing grain growth,
causing grain refinement and thus deteriorating magnetic properties. Considering this,
the upper limit of the content of Mo may be limited to 2.0%.
[0039] The content of Ti (titanium) may be 0.1 to 0.4%.
[0040] Ti is an effective element to enhance strength by causing precipitation. Considering
this, 0.1% or more of Ti may be added. However, when the Ti content is excessive,
Ti-based precipitates increase excessively, which prohibits the grain size from increasing
sufficiently, causing a problem of lowering permeability. Considering this, the upper
limit of the content of Ti may be limited to 0.4%.
[0041] The remaining component is iron (Fe) in the disclosure. However, unintended impurities
may be inevitably mixed from raw materials or surroundings in the normal manufacturing
process, so they may not be excluded. These impurities may be known to anyone skilled
in the ordinary manufacturing process, so not all of them are specifically mentioned
in this specification.
[0042] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the ferritic stainless steel having enhanced
magnetic properties may further comprise, in percent by weight (wt%), more than 0
to 0.1% of Nb and more than 0 to 0.1% of Sn.
[0043] The content of Nb (niobium) may be more than 0 to 0.1%.
[0044] Like Ti, Nb is an element that forms a fine precipitate phase. However, while Ti
forms a relatively high temperature phase, thereby preventing fine precipitation by
heat treatment, Nb forms a stable phase at a relatively low temperature, so it is
re-dissolved during hot rolling and may cause fine precipitation during annealing.
Hence, when the content of Nb is excessive, magnetic properties may deteriorate due
to the fine precipitation, so it is desirable to manage it as an impurity. Considering
this, the upper limit of the content of Nb may be limited to 0.1%.
[0045] The content of Sn (tin) may be more than 0 to 0.1%.
[0046] Like Ti, Sn is an element that forms a fine precipitate phase. However, while Ti
forms a relatively high temperature phase, thereby preventing fine precipitation by
heat treatment, Sn forms a stable phase at a relatively low temperature, so it is
re-dissolved during hot rolling and fine precipitation may be caused during annealing.
Hence, when the content of Sn is excessive, magnetic properties may deteriorate due
to the fine precipitation, so it is desirable to manage it as an impurity. Considering
this, the upper limit of the content of Sn may be limited to 0.1%.
[0047] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the ferritic stainless steel having enhanced
magnetic properties satisfies the value of the following formula (1) being 130 or
less.
30 + 2500 * ([C] + [N]) - 15 * [Si] + 2.5 * [Cr] + 22 * [Mo]
[0048] In formula (1), [C], [N], [Si], [Cr], and [Mo] each refer to a content (wt%) of the
element.
[0049] The disclosure provides a ferritic stainless steel having enhanced magnetic properties
that exhibit high magnetic permeability for low externally applied magnetic field
to increase responsiveness to electromagnetic wave shielding, and a method of manufacturing
the ferritic stainless steel. In a case that the value of formula (1) exceeds 130,
it exhibits a large magnetic permeability value for a relatively high externally applied
magnetic field, so the responsiveness to electromagnetic wave shielding deteriorates.
Hence, the value of formula (1) may be 130 or less.
[0050] By controlling the value of formula (1) to be 130 or less, the ferritic stainless
steel having enhanced magnetic properties according to an embodiment of the disclosure
may have a maximum magnetic permeability of 1,000 or more in a 50 Hz frequency band.
Furthermore, an externally applied magnetic field to exhibit maximum magnetic permeability
may be 130 A/m or less.
[0051] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the ferritic stainless steel having enhanced
magnetic properties satisfies the value of the following formula (2) being 50 or less.

[0052] In formula (2), [C], [N], [Si], [Cr], and [Mo] each refer to a content (wt%) of the
element.
[0053] Coercivity refers to the magnitude of an external magnetic field in a reverse direction
required to restore a magnetized magnetic substance into a demagnetized state. When
the value of formula (2) exceeds 50, coercivity increases so the shielding capability
may be deteriorated. Hence, the value of formula (2) may be 50 or less.
[0054] By controlling formula (2) to be 50 or less, the ferritic stainless steel having
enhanced magnetic properties may have a coercivity of less than 50 AIm on condition
of exhibiting the maximum magnetic permeability in the 50 Hz frequency band.
[0055] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the ferritic stainless steel having enhanced
magnetic properties may have a pitting potential value of 300 mV or more by controlling
alloy compositions and manufacturing processes to enhance corrosion resistance.
[0056] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the ferritic stainless steel having enhanced
magnetic properties may have a hardness of 140 Hv or more by controlling alloy compositions
and manufacturing processes to enhance strength.
[0057] A method of manufacturing a ferritic stainless steel having enhanced magnetic properties
according to another aspect of the disclosure will now be described.
[0058] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a method of manufacturing a ferritic
stainless steel having enhanced magnetic properties comprises manufacturing a slab
comprising, in percent by weight (wt%), more than 0 to 0.02% of C, more than 0 to
0.02% of N, 0.5 to 2.0% of Si, 0.1 to 0.3% of Mn, 16.0 to 20.1% of Cr, more than 1.0
to 2.0% of Mo, 0.1 to 0.4% of Ti, and the remainder having Fe and other unavoidable
impurities, wherein the value of equation (1) below is 130 or less and the value of
equation (2) below is 50 or less; manufacturing a hot-rolled material by hot rolling
the slab at a reheating temperature of 1050 to 1150 °C; manufacturing a cold-rolled
material by cold rolling the hot-rolled material; and finally annealing the cold-rolled
material at 1050 to 1150 °C.
30 + 2500 * ([C] + [N]) - 15 * [Si] + 2.5 * [Cr] + 22 * [Mo]
[0059] In formula (1), [C], [N], [Si], [Cr], and [Mo] each refer to a content (wt%) of the
element.

[0060] In formula (2), [C], [N], [Si], [Cr], and [Mo] each refer to a content (wt%) of the
element.
[0061] The reason of numerical limitations of component ranges and component relation formula
of each alloy composition is the same as described above, and each manufacturing step
will now be described in more detail.
[0062] First, after the slab that satisfies the ally composition and component relation
formula is manufactured, it goes through a series of processes of hot rolling, cold
rolling and final annealing.
[0063] The slab may be hot-rolled at a reheating temperature of 1050 to 1150 °C.
[0064] When the reheating temperature of the slab is too low, the load of the rolling roll
may increase, the coarse precipitates created during slab casting has difficulty in
being re-decomposed, and the internal structure may have difficulty in being homogenized.
Considering this, the reheating temperature of the slab may be 1050 °C or more. However,
when the reheating temperature is too high, the grain diameter of the slab may be
excessively coarse, which may deteriorate the strength. Considering this, the upper
limit of the reheating temperature of the slab may be limited to 1150 °C.
[0065] The cold rolling may be performed at a reduction rate of 70% or more. When the reduction
rate is less than 70%, it may be difficult to attain the desired strength.
[0066] The cold-rolled material may be finally annealed at 1050 to 1150 °C.
[0067] When the final annealing temperature is low, it requires a long time, thereby increasing
manufacturing costs. Considering this, the final annealing temperature may be 1050
°C or more. However, when the final annealing temperature is high, the microstructure
may be excessively coarse, resulting in deterioration of the mechanical properties.
Considering this, the final annealing temperature may be 1150 °C or less.
[0068] Embodiments of the disclosure will now be described in more detail. The embodiments
may be merely for illustration, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. The scope
of the disclosure is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
{Embodiments}
[0069] A steel having various chemical compositions shown in Table 1 below were cast into
a slab, and the cast slab were reheated at 1050 °C. A final cold-rolled product was
manufactured by hot rolling the reheated slab, performing cold rolling at a reduction
rate of 70% and performing final annealing at a temperature of 1050 °C.

[0070] Values of formula (1) and formula (2), maximum magnetic permeability, applied magnetic
fields, coercivity and hardness were shown in Table 2 below. The value of formula
(1) is one calculated by 30 + 2500 * ([C] + [N]) - 15 * [Si] + 2.5 * [Cr] + 22 * [Mo].
[0071] In formula (1), [C], [N], [Si], [Cr] and [Mo] each refer to a content (wt%) of the
element.
[0072] The value of formula (2) is one calculated by 18 + 800 * ([C] + [N]) - 6 * [Si] +
[Cr] + 6 * [Mo].
[0073] In formula (2), [C], [N], [Si], [Cr] and [Mo] each refer to a content (wt%) of the
element.
[0074] For the final cold-rolled product, the magnetic properties were evaluated by measuring
a magnetic field from magnetization of the material while gradually increasing the
externally applied magnetic field in a frequency band of 50 Hz.
[0075] The maximum magnetic permeability was measured by touching a probe onto a cross-section
of a steel sample with a diameter of 20 mm or more and a thickness of 5 mm or more
using a non-magnetic permeability meter whose model name is Ferropro FP-5.
[0076] The pitting potential indicated a value obtained by applying potential in an immerged
solution of NaCl and measuring a potential at which pitting is generated. The NaCl
solution has a temperature of 30 °C and a concentration of 3.5%.
[0077] The hardness was measured using a Vickers hardness meter from Zwick Roell.

[0078] Referring to table 2, Examples 1 to 7 all satisfied the value of formula (1) being
130 or less and the value of formula (2) being 50 or less. Hence, it was satisfied
that in a 50 Hz frequency band, the maximum magnetic permeability was 1,000 or more,
the externally applied magnetic field to exhibit the maximum magnetic permeability
was 130 A/m or less, and the coercivity was 50 A/m or less on condition of exhibiting
the maximum magnetic permeability. In other words, Examples 1 to 7 showed a high magnetic
permeability for a low externally applied magnetic field, so it is understood that
responsiveness to electromagnetic wave shielding increased and magnetic properties
were enhanced. Furthermore, Examples 1 to 7 satisfied the pitting potential value
being 300 mV or more and the hardness being 140 Hv. In other words, Examples 1 to
7 had good corrosion resistance and hardness.
[0079] Comparative examples 1 to 5 did not satisfy the value of formula (1) being 130 or
less. Hence, comparative examples 1 to 5 did not satisfy the externally applied magnetic
field being 130 A/m to exhibit a maximum magnetic permeability. Furthermore, comparative
examples 1 to 5 did not satisfy the value of formula (2) being 50 or less. Hence,
comparative examples 1 to 5 did not satisfy the coercivity being 50 A/m or less. In
other words, comparative examples 1 to 5 have a relatively high externally applied
magnetic field, so it is understood that responsiveness to electromagnetic wave shielding
was deteriorated.
[0080] Furthermore, comparative example 4 did not add the Mo element and did not satisfy
a pitting potential value being 300 mV or more due to a relatively low amount of content
of Cr. In other words, comparative example 4 had deteriorated corrosion resistance.
[Industrial Applicability]
[0081] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a ferritic stainless steel having enhanced
magnetic properties that exhibit high magnetic permeability for low externally applied
magnetic field to increase responsiveness to electromagnetic wave shielding by deriving
a component system indicating high permeability, and a method of manufacturing the
ferritic stainless steel are provided, so the industrial applicability is acknowledged.
