The invention discloses a high
formability and low-
chromium ferrite stainless steel and a making method thereof, the high
formability and low-
chromium ferrite stainless steel comprises the following chemical components by weight: less than or equal to 0.015% of C, 0.010-0.35% of Si, 0.015-0.25% of Mn, 9.5-11% of Cr, 0.15-0.20% of Ti, less than or equal to 0.025% of P, less than or equal to 0.002% of S, less than or equal to 0.010% of N, less than or equal to 0.025% of (C + N), 0.0010-0.0050% of Ca, less than or equal to 0.05% of Al, greater than or equal to 6 (C + N) of Ti, and balance of Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein the
impurity element Ni content is less than or equal to 0.3%, Cu content is less than or equal to 0.3%, O content is less than or equal to 0.0050%, and the content of Ni+0.5Cu is less than or equal to 0.35%, and the total amount of other
impurity elements is less than 0.05% of. The
formability is improved by reduction of
hardness and strength by reduction of the Cr, Si and Mn content and control of
solid solution amount of the Cr, Si and Mn in the steel to reduce the
solid solution strengthening effect; by strict control of the content of Ni and Cu, the possibility of the
martensite phase formation is reduced to reduce the
hardness and strength of the stainless steel to improve the formability. By control of mixed use ratio of molten iron and
scrap steel, the content of the
impurity elements Ni and Cu in the steel, the influence of the impurity elements Ni and Cu on the
hardness and strength and other properties can be ultimately controlled.
