【wrap up】 [Problem] We propose an austenitic stainless steel with excellent hot workability and corrosion resistance and excellent antibacterial properties. SOLUTION: In mass%, C: 0.01 to 0.1%, Si: 2.0% or less, Mn: 2.0% or less, P: 0.08% or less, S: 0.02% or less, Cr: 10 to 35%, Ni: 6 to 15%, N: 0.01-0.1%, Ag: 0.001-0.09%, Cu: more than 0.30%, 4.0% or less, Ag / (Ag + Cu) <0.07 (where Ag, Cu: content of each element) (Mass%)) is included. Thereby, it becomes an austenitic stainless steel excellent in hot workability and antibacterial properties without lowering the corrosion resistance. Further, B and / or Al may be contained.
