Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1999/064640
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A stainless steel product having excellent corrosion resistance, antimicrobial activity and durability which may be produced by providing a stainless steel product containing 10 wt.% or more of Cr, incorporating 0.0001 to 0.30 wt.% and optionally 0.0001 to 1.0 wt.% of V into the stainless steel product, and further incorporating and dispersing therein a silver oxide in an amount of 0.0005 wt.% or more and not more than 1.1 times that of the silver contained in the steel product, and a method for the production thereof. It is desirable for uniformly dispersing the aforementioned silver oxide that the casting of a molten steel is carried out by a continuous casting at a pouring speed of 0.8 to 1.6 m/min. This stainless steel product still exhibits excellent microbial activity, even after it is subjected to various surface treatments currently employed, including polishing.
