The ferritic stainless steel of the present invention contain the following main chemical elements, in which a relationship between B and Gd, preferably, satisfies the following equation (1) on the weight % basis: C: less than 0.01% ~~Mn: not more than 1% Ni: not more than 0.7% ~Cr: 13 - 26% B: 0.1 - 1.1% ~~Gd: 0.05 - 1.5% A1: 0.002 - 0.1% ~~N: not more than 0.015%. The austenitic stainless steel of the present invention contain the following main chemical elements, in which a relationship between B and Gd, preferably, satisfies the following equation (1) on the weight % basis: C: not more than 0.02% ~Mn: 0.1 - 0.9 Ni: 7 - 22% ~~Cr: 18 - 26% B: 0.05 - 0.75% ~~Gd: 0.11 - 1.5% Al: 0.005. - 0.1% ~~N: not more than 0.03%. The stainless steel of the present invention described above are excellent in thermal neutron absorption ability, as well as are excellent in the workability such as hot workability and cold workability, and the corrosion resistance, particularly, the corrosion resistance for HAZ and are inexpensive for the manufacturing cost. Further, since the toughness, the weldability and the like are also satisfactory, they are extremely suitable to materials for use in nuclear fuel casks or the like: Nc ~ 0.8 ....... (1) in which. Nc = {(1 - 0.015 x B%) x B%} + (4.4 x Gd%).

L'invention concerne un acier inoxydable ferritique, contenant en pour-cent poids les ingrédients chimiques principaux suivants, tout en satisfaisant de préférence à la relation (1) entre B et Gd: C moins de 0,01 %, Mn 1 % ou moins, Ni 0,7 % ou moins, Cr 13-26 %, B 0,1-1,1 %, Gd 0,05-1,5 %, Al 0,002-0,1 %, N 0,0015 % ou moins. L'invention concerne également un acier inoxydable austénitique, contenant en pour-cent poids les ingrédients chimiques principaux suivants, tout en satisfaisant de préférence à la relation (1) entre B et Gd: C 0,02 % ou moins, Mn 0,1-0,9 %, Ni 7-22 %, Cr 18-26 %, B 0,05-0,75 %, Gd 0,11-1,5 %, Al 0,005-0,1 %, N 0,030 % ou moins. Ces aciers ont d'excellentes propriétés d'absorption des neutrons thermiques. Egalement, ils sont faciles à transformer, à chaud ou à froid, ils présentent une bonne résistance à la corrosion, en particulier à la corrosion HAZ, et ils sont peu coûteux à fabriquer. En plus, ils ont une grande dureté et sont faciles à souder. Ces matériaux conviennent tout particulièrement bien à la réalisation de récipients destinés à recevoir des combustibles nucléaires, etc. Nc >/= 0,8 (1), où Nc = {(1-0,015 x B %) x B %} + (4,4 x Gd %).
