[48] ​​4. Manufacturing method A favorable manufacturing method for a rod-shaped stainless steel product according to the invention will be described. The rod-shaped stainless steel product according to the invention can be reliably obtained according to, for example, a manufacturing method described below.

[49] For the rod-shaped stainless steel product according to the invention, steel having the chemical composition mentioned above is melted, the molten steel is cast into a molten steel having a predetermined diameter, and then the molten steel is subjected to hot bias rolling or warm bias rolling, as well as hot wire rolling or warm wire rolling. Subsequently, solution treatment, pickling, secondary working, and heat treatment are performed as required. / enn ίη / ζζηζ / Β / γίΛΐ

[50] 4-1. Skewed rolling step Heated molten steel is preferably hot-worked using bias rolling. Hot working is not limited to bias rolling. Any hot-working method that has undergone the same or a similar heat-processing history may be used. For example, roughing (breaking) may be used as long as it has undergone the same or a similar heat-processing history. In skew rolling, for example, as described in Patent Literature 4, three work rolls are arranged on respective roll shafts that are twisted and skewed in the same direction around a target material to be rolled, and each work roll rotates around the target material as it rotates, so that the target material is wound in a spiral shape as it advances. The columnar crystals in ferritic stainless steel are oriented <100> with respect to the direction of the radius of the steel product. <100> The columnar crystals can be oriented with respect to a rolling direction instead of the radius direction of the steel product by subjecting them to skew rolling.However, when the rolling time of the bias roll, during which the steel product is in contact with the three working rolls, is short, the <100> oriented with respect to the rolling direction forms randomly oriented recrystallized grains that do not have an orientation <100> through high-speed processing. The lamination time of skewed lamination thus changes the RD fraction / / <100> Additionally, the lamination time of skewed lamination changes the RD / / fraction <334> in a portion from a surface of the steel product to a position at a depth of 1 / 4 of the diameter of the steel product. For this reason, the rolling time of the skew roll affects the soft magnetic properties. When the skew rolling time is less than 0.10 s, the fraction RD / / <100> / enn Ln / zznz / B / YiAi decreases and the fraction RD / / <334> In the portion from the surface of the steel product to a depth of 1 / 4 inch, the diameter of the steel product increases. The soft magnetic properties are thus reduced. For this reason, the skew rolling time is 0.10 seconds or more, preferably 1 second or more, very preferably 10 seconds or more, and very preferably even 50 seconds or more. An excessively long skew rolling time decreases productivity, and therefore a time of 200 seconds or less is preferable. / enn ίη / ζζηζ / Β / γίΛΐ

[51] 4-2. Heat treatment temperature for steel bar and wire rod Steel bars and wire rod are preferably subjected to heat treatment after hot rolling. The heat treatment temperature for steel bars and wire rod changes the RD fraction. <100> , which affects the soft magnetic properties. When the heat treatment temperature for the steel bar and wire rod exceeds 1400 degrees C, an RD / / core <100> It does not grow, which reduces the fraction of RD / / <100> This reduces the soft magnetic properties. For this reason, the heat treatment temperature for steel bar and wire rod is 1400°C or lower, and preferably 1300°C or lower. The RD core / / <100> It does not grow when the heat treatment temperature for the steel bar and wire is below 500 degrees C. The heat treatment temperature for the steel bar and wire is therefore 500 degrees C or more.The heat treatment temperature for steel bar and wire rod is preferably 600°C or higher, very preferably 700°C, and very preferably still 800°C or higher. The RD fraction <334> It is also affected by the heat treatment temperature of the steel bar and wire rod. Therefore, a favorable range for the RD fraction can be determined. <334> adjusting the heat treatment temperature for the steel bar and wire rod in a range of 500 to 1400 degrees C along with any other manufacturing conditions. / enn ίη / ζζηζ / Β / γίΛΐ

[52] 4-3. Wire drawing rate Steel bars and wire rod that have been heat-treated after hot rolling are preferably subjected to wire drawing to form steel wire. The wire drawing speed changes the RD / / fraction <100> This affects the soft magnetic properties. When the wire drawing rate exceeds 50%, recrystallization is facilitated in a subsequent heat treatment to decrease the RD fraction. <100> This reduces the soft magnetic properties. The wire drawing speed is therefore 50% or less, preferably 30% or less, very preferably 15% or less, and very preferably still 5% or less. At a wire drawing speed of less than 0.01%, a core of RD / / <100> It does not grow in subsequent heat treatment. The drawing rate is therefore 0.01% or more.The drawing rate (%) is a percentage obtained by dividing the change in the cross-sectional area of ​​the steel product before and after drawing by the cross-sectional area before drawing. The fraction RD / / <334> It is also affected by the drawing speed. Therefore, a favorable range for the RD fraction can be determined. <334> adjusting the drawing speed within a range of 0.01 to 50% along with any other manufacturing conditions. / enn ίη / ζζηζ / Β / γίΛΐ

[53] 4-4. Heat treatment temperature for steel wire Steel wire, after wire drawing, is preferably subjected to heat treatment. The heat treatment temperature for steel wire changes the RD / / fraction <100> , which affects the soft magnetic properties. When the heat treatment temperature for the steel wire exceeds 1400 degrees C, an RD / / core <100> It does not grow, decreasing the RD fraction / / <100> This reduces the soft magnetic properties. For this reason, the heat treatment temperature of the steel wire is 1400°C or lower, and preferably 1300°C or lower. The core of RD / / <100> It does not grow when the heat treatment temperature for steel wire is below 500 degrees C. The heat treatment temperature for steel wire is therefore 500 degrees C or higher.The heat treatment temperature for steel wire is preferably 600°C or higher, very preferably 700°C, and very preferably still 800°C or higher. The RD fraction <334> It is also affected by the heat treatment temperature of the steel wire. Therefore, a favorable range for the RD / / fraction can be determined. <334> adjusting the heat treatment temperature for the steel wire within a range of 500 to 1400 degrees C along with any other manufacturing conditions. / enn Ln / zznz / B / YiAi

Electromagnetic component Examples of an electromagnetic component using the rod-shaped stainless steel product of the invention include a core and connector of an injector and a solenoid valve. Since the rod-shaped steel product used as the material has excellent soft magnetic properties, it can provide effects such as improved magnetic attraction strength, reduced component diameter, and enhanced responsiveness.

The molten steel 1 was then transformed into a stainless steel bar or stainless steel wire with a diameter of 20.0 mm under the following manufacturing conditions. In Table 2 and Tables 4 to 6, the values ​​of the chemical composition or the RD fraction / / <100> Those that fall outside the scope of the invention are underlined. In Tables 4 to 6, the values ​​of the magnetic properties that are outside a favorable range of the invention are underlined.
