2. Description of the Related Art An exhaust gas purifying catalytic converter produces NO x , HC and C produced when fuel and air are mixed and burned.
Used to detoxify harmful gases such as O. Since this catalytic reaction is an exothermic reaction, the converter temperature rises. Recently, in order to improve the efficiency of the catalytic reaction, there are many cases where a converter is installed near the combustion environment to cause the catalytic reaction in high-temperature exhaust gas. Due to repeated cooling, it receives a very large thermal shock.

Further, in the figure, the value of the oxidation resistance life ratio defined in the section of Examples is also shown. From FIG. 1, it can be seen that the content of La alone and the content of Zr alone cause a weight increase due to abnormal oxidation in a short time, whereas the composite content of La and Zr causes the increase in the life of each single content by 2%. It can be seen that it has a life more than twice as long. This is a new discovery that deviates from the conventional idea that even if La and Zr are contained in combination, the effect of improving both oxidation resistance is the sum.

As a result of further detailed investigation on the composite content of La and Zr, the present inventors have found that it is necessary to limit the content in order to fully exert the effect of the composite content of La and Zr. I understood. As can be inferred from FIG. 1, when the content of one of La and Zr is extremely small with respect to the content of the other, only the same oxidation resistance as in the case of single content is obtained. The ratio of the contents of the must be within a certain range. FIG. 2 shows a weight ratio of 0.005% C, 0.15% Si, 0.2% Mn,

This is the result of investigating the influence of the value of [a content] in the range of La: 0.01 to 0.2% by weight and Zr: 0.01 to 1.0% by weight. As shown in FIG. 2, it was found that excellent oxidation resistance was obtained when the relationship of the formula (A) was found between the contents of La and Zr. 0.1 ≦ [Zr weight%] / [La weight%] ≦ 20 (A)

In the present invention, the formula (A) has the most weight relation with respect to the oxidation resistance. That is, satisfying the formula (A) in the Fe-Cr-Al alloy containing La and Zr is an epoch-making method for improving the oxidation resistance at high temperature.

Even if La and Zr satisfy the formula (A), if the contents are too small, sufficient effects cannot be exhibited. For that purpose, both La and Zr must be contained in an amount of 0.01% by weight or more. Further, if the content of La and Zr is 0.01% by weight or more and the formula (A) is satisfied, the effect can be sufficiently exerted, but La has a small solid solubility limit, and La is contained beyond the range. Since the metal La and the metal La precipitate at the grain boundaries, the oxidation resistance corresponding to the content cannot be obtained, and the hot and cold workability is significantly deteriorated. Therefore, the upper limit of the content is 0.20% by weight. Need to be limited to. Zr is
If it is contained excessively, an intermetallic compound such as Fe 2 Zr or Fe 3 Zr is formed, so that the oxidation resistance is deteriorated and the workability in hot and cold is lost, so the upper limit of the content is set. It should be limited to 1.0% by weight.

Further, the present inventors investigated the effect of the combined addition of La and Zr and the effect of the coexistence of the third element. As a result, it was found that the addition of Ca was effective and Ti, Nb and Ce were extremely harmful. From FIG. 1, La,
By adding 0.0042% of Ca to the Zr composite-added steel, the oxidation resistance life was further extended, and the oxidation resistance life ratio was 3.6. The addition of Ca extended the life 1.6 times. I understand. L due to the coexistence of Ca
Although the mechanism for improving the effect of the combined addition of a and Zr is not clear, it is presumed that it is for detoxifying S, which is extremely harmful to the oxidation resistance. Therefore, it is desirable to suppress the harmful element S to a low value in order to effectively actuate Ca. Specifically, it is necessary to suppress S to 0.01% by weight or less and to contain Ca at least 0.0003% by weight or more for fixing S. Hopefully, the Ca content is ideally 1.5 times or more of S in weight%. But 0.0
If it is contained in excess of 3% by weight, it segregates between the dendrite grains to lower the grain boundary strength and significantly deteriorate the hot workability, so the upper limit is made 0.03% by weight, and the range is 0.00
It was limited to 03 to 0.03% by weight.

The functions of other alloying elements and the reasons for limiting numerical values will be described below.

The above contents are required. Cr

Particularly, if the content is 18% by weight or more, excellent oxidation resistance can be obtained, but if the content exceeds 28% by weight, toughness and ductility are deteriorated and manufacturability is lost, so the range is limited to 10 to 28% by weight. did.

Al: Al is an indispensable element for maintaining the oxidation resistance, and becomes a material that can withstand long-term use at high temperature as its content increases. In order to bring out the effect sufficiently, it is necessary to contain at least 1% by weight. However, if the content exceeds 10% by weight, the toughness of the alloy steel is remarkably lowered and cracking occurs in cold rolling, so the upper limit is set to 10% by weight, and the range is 1 to 10% by weight.

However, when it is contained in excess, the solid solution amount of these elements increases and conversely deteriorates oxidation resistance and Also, since the workability in cold is deteriorated, the upper limit of the total content is set to 1.0% by weight.

Y: Y has the effect of improving the oxidation resistance by improving the adhesion of the oxide film formed on the Fe-Cr-Al alloy at high temperature. It is desirable that the amount of these elements is large for their effect, but if the solid solution limit to the Fe-Cr-Al alloy is small and if it is contained beyond the solid solution limit, it precipitates at grain boundaries and deteriorates the workability. Therefore, the upper limit is set to 0.50% by weight.

Mg: Mg is an element which, when contained in an amount of 0.0005% by weight or more, forms a very dense Al 2 O 3 scale to improve the oxidation resistance, but if it exceeds 0.03% by weight. When it is contained, the manufacturability such as hot ductility is remarkably reduced, so the upper limit was made 0.03% by weight.

The rolled material can be used as it is rolled, but in the case of producing an annealed final product, it is bright under an inert gas atmosphere or a reducing gas atmosphere having a low oxygen partial pressure. Bright annealing (BA) is performed. The reason for this is that when annealing is performed in an oxidizing gas atmosphere, Al in the alloy is preferentially oxidized and Al 2 O 3 scale is formed to consume Al in the alloy, and Al 2 O 3 scale becomes honeycomb. This is because the workability of is lost.

EXAMPLES Next, the present invention will be specifically described based on examples. (Example) An alloy having the composition shown in Table 1 and Table 2 was melted,
Bright annealing was performed in a reducing gas atmosphere, and the foil was rolled to obtain a test material. Table 1 shows the alloys of the present invention, and Table 2 shows the comparative alloys. The following tests were performed on the above test materials. The oxidation resistance life of the test materials was evaluated by La and Zr.
From the viewpoint of confirming that the life is extended by the synergistic effect of the combined inclusion of Ca and the effect of Ca addition, and Ti, Nb, C
From the viewpoint that e deteriorates the effect of the combined addition of La and Zr,
A comparative material containing La or Zr, Ca, Ti, Nb, and Ce with the same components other than La, Zr, and Ce alone was manufactured, and the oxidation resistance life was measured.
Contains r, Ca, and if necessary, Ti, Nb, C
The oxidation resistance life ratio was evaluated by multiplying the life of the material containing e. Here, the oxidation resistance life is obtained by obtaining the relationship between the oxidation time and the weight change of the BA foil with a plate thickness of 50 μm of each test material at 1200 ° C. and open to the atmosphere.
It was defined as the total oxidation time when it reached 0 mg / cm 2 . Tables 3 and 4 show the oxidation-resistant life ratios of the alloys of the present invention and the comparative alloys, and the manufacturability in the remarks column.
