A ferritic stainless steel sheet excellent in press formability and
operability, characterized by: containing appropriate amounts of C, N,
Cr, Si, Mn, P, S, Al, Ti and V, with the balance consisting of Fe and
unavoidable impurities; having a solid lubricating film or films on one
or both of the surfaces; and having a ratio Z, defined as
Z=Z.sub.1/Z.sub.2, of less than 0.5, a tensile strength of 450 MPa or
less and an average r-value of 1.7 or more, wherein Z.sub.1 is a friction
coefficient of the surface of a solid lubricating film and Z.sub.2 that
of the surface of a reference material coated with neither a coating nor
lubricating oil. In the ferritic stainless steel sheet, the amounts of
Sol-Ti and Insol-V may be regulated to appropriate ranges, wherein Sol-Ti
means the amount of Ti existing in the state of solid solution in steel
and Insol-V means the amount of V existing in the state of precipitation
in steel.
