Abstract: The microsructural and content of δ ferrite in non-equilibrium solidified 0Cr18Ni9 austenitic stainless steel is studied by the coin with the circulating water. The solidified microstructure of the residual δ ferrite in different cooling rate is that during the course of solid-state transformation, austenite grows into ferrite gradually; corresponding to the increase of cooling rate, the microsructural of ferrite is skeletal, network, strip and block. The experiment demonstrates that the content of the residual δ ferrite is increase under the increase of the cooling rate.

Abstract: Duplex stainless steels 2205 are widely used in constructional and petrochemical applications because of their good mechanical and corrosion properties. The objective of this work was to study the influence of aging at high temperature on the austenite and d ferrite equilibrium. After welding by TIG process, duplex stainless steel was aged in the range of 800 – 1150 °C temperatures for 60 min. The microstructure was characterized by metallography and X-ray methods. The toughness of welded structure was also measured.
