The stainless steel containing copper have the advantages such as grain refinement and rising strength. However, materials will be damaged easily by thermocrack when copper content is increased. This study discusses hot-working property of stainless steel ingots at hightemperatures. The results show that hot-working tensile strength decreases by increasing temperature. For example, adding 2.0 wt% Cu to stainless steel, the tensile strength at 1200°C is reduced 25 N/mm^2 than that at 1100°C. Other samples give similar results. On the other hands, the high temperature tensile strength of 430 stainless steel is raise by increasing copper content. Comparatively, it will have a tendency of decreasing reduction of area at temperatures below 1200°C.
