2. Description of the Related Art With the tightening of automobile exhaust gas regulations, the temperature of exhaust gas tends to increase in order to improve the purifying ability of a catalyst, and a material used for an exhaust system is a cast material having a large heat capacity. Therefore, stainless steel tubes with small heat capacity are the mainstay. Ferrite stainless steels are mainly used for such applications, but are expensive because they contain 11% or more of Cr. Further, such a hot-rolled ferritic stainless steel sheet has low workability. After hot rolling, pickling, cold rolling, and cold-rolled sheet annealing were performed to compensate for the workability, so that the process load was large. Furthermore, stainless steel with improved oxidation resistance has a high Cr content, is difficult to pickle, has a high pickling cost, and requires a high cold-rolled sheet annealing temperature because it contains a large amount of Nb and the like. Therefore, steel pipes for automobile exhaust systems having low cost and high oxidation resistance have been strongly desired because of low productivity.

Therefore, in the present invention, the thickness of the final product can be reduced to 3 mm or less by hot rolling. Also,
It is also possible to apply a skin pass of less than 10% for the purpose of correcting the thickness. Furthermore, depending on the hot rolling mill, it may be difficult to control a thin plate thickness, or the thickness may be reduced to 3 mm due to a decrease in productivity.
It can be difficult to get: In these cases,
After the steel sheet having a thickness of 10 mm or less is hot-rolled, and if necessary, is pickled, the final product thickness can be controlled by cold rolling of 10% or more and 90% or less. If the thickness of the hot rolled sheet exceeds 10 mm, and if the cold rolling reduction exceeds 90%, the load of cold rolling increases, the upper limit of the sheet thickness is 10 mm.
The upper limit of the cold reduction was set to 90%. When a cold-rolled steel sheet is used, the workability of the steel pipe is also improved.

The steel pipe obtained by the above-mentioned method is finally
Heat to 00 ° C to 1200 ° C, then 4 within 300 seconds
By cooling to 00 ° C. or lower, recrystallization proceeds, and precipitates on grain boundaries are reduced, and a steel pipe having sufficient workability as a steel pipe for an automobile exhaust system can be obtained. If the heating temperature is lower than 800 ° C., recrystallization does not sufficiently occur, so that the workability is low. If the heating temperature is higher than 1200 ° C., the crystal grains become coarse and the workability is greatly reduced. Further, if the cooling time to 400 ° C. or less exceeds 300 seconds, precipitates containing Cr, Nb, or Mo are precipitated at the grain boundaries, and the workability is significantly reduced.
The cooling time to 400 ° C. or less was set within 300 seconds. 4
When the temperature is not higher than 00 ° C., the precipitation is extremely slow, so that the precipitation may be carried out, forced air cooling, water cooling, or the like may be used, and thus there is no particular limitation. In addition, since the oxidation resistance of the steel of the present invention is very good, the heat treatment may be performed in an inert gas atmosphere such as a bright annealing furnace, or may be performed by induction heating or infrared heating in the air. .

Nos. 4, 65, 67 and 68 were cold-rolled after pickling and then made as ordinary ERW steel pipes. At the time of pipe making, the periphery of the welded portion was purged with an inert gas so that oxides were not involved in the welded portion. In Examples 1 to 65, 38.1φ × 2
t steel pipe was obtained. In Examples 66 to 68, 10% drawing was performed after pipe making to obtain a 38.1φ × 2t steel pipe. The obtained steel pipe was heat-treated by induction heating. Tables 5 and 6 show the manufacturing conditions. A 30 mm square oxidation test specimen was collected from the obtained steel pipe, placed in a quartz container, inserted into a heating furnace open to the air heated to 950 ° C., and heated for 200 hours.
It was taken out and the oxidation weight increase was measured. Tables 5 and 6 show the measurement results of the oxidation increase. Abnormality indication above 2mg per 1 cm 2 is oxide ones fill measurements, 1 cm 2 per 2
Less than mg was noted as <2. Further, a JIS No. 12A tensile test piece was collected from the obtained steel pipe and subjected to a tensile test. Tables 5 and 6 show the measured elongation at break.
