Enhancing Corrosion Resistance in 2507 Super Duplex Stainless Steel: The Impact of Artificial Aging on Microstructure and Phase Stability

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study examines the corrosion behavior of 2507 super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) subjected to artificial aging at various temperatures. Using optical microscopy, SEM, EDS, and XRD, we characterized the microstructural and phase changes. Electrochemical tests, including Tafel polarization and EIS, assessed corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt. % NaCl solution. Results show that aging at 1200°C enhances corrosion resistance, attributed to the dissolution of secondary phases and an increase in ferrite content. The optimized microstructure achieved at this temperature displayed the lowest corrosion current density and highest polarization resistance, offering insights for improving SDSS durability in corrosive environments.
