The invention discloses medium-
chromium molybdenum-free ferritic stainless steel extremely low in brittle
transition temperature and a preparation method thereof. The medium-
chromium molybdenum-free ferritic stainless steel comprises, by
mass percentage, 0.005-0.015% of C, 0.005-0.015% of N, less than or equal to 0.5% of Si, less than or equal to 0.2% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.03% of P, less than or equal to 0.01% of S, less than or equal to 0.005% of O, 18-22% of Cr, 0.08-0.18% of Nb, 0.05-0.1% of Ti, 0.2-0.4% of Ni, 0.1-0.2% of Al, 0.3-0.5% of Cu and the balance iron and inevitable impurities, wherein the brittle
transition temperature ranges from minus 120 DEG C to minus 100 DEG C. The preparation method comprises the steps of 1, conducting
smelting and pouring in a vacuum induction
smelting furnace; 2, heating the materials to 1000-1200 DEG C, preserving the temperature for 60-150 minutes, and then conducting hot rolling, wherein the accumulative reduction amount is 96-98%; and 3, heating the materials to 850-950 DEG C, and preserving the temperature for 6-8 minutes. By means of the method, the service life of the medium-
chromium molybdenum-free ferritic stainless steel in a severe service environment such as the low temperature environment is prolonged, and safety of the medium-chromium molybdenum-free ferritic stainless steel is improved; steel production cost is lowered; and the targets that in stainless steel production, resources are saved, energy is saved, emission is reduced, and environmental
pollution is prevented are finally achieved.
