Influence of Si and Mo on the Sigma-Phase Precipitation in S32750 Super Duplex Stainless Steel Slab

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, we investigated the effect of Si and Mo on the sigma-phase precipitation in S32750 super duplex stainless steel slab. The activity for Mo with increasing Si and Mo was calculated by the Wagner formula, and the equilibrium solidification phase diagrams of S32750 duplex stainless steels with different Si and Mo contents were calculated using the thermo-calc software. The sigma phase precipitated mainly at ferrite/austenite phase boundaries and grew up towards the interior of ferrite phase in S32750 SDSS slab. The area fraction and size of the sigma phases significantly increased with increasing Mo content and Si content. Also, the increment in Mo and Si content affected the Mo concentration in sigma phase. The sample(Mo:3.4%,Si:0.3%) had a lowest sigma-phase area fraction of 2.84% and had lowest Mo content in σ phase.The calculation results showed that the increase of Mo and Si content increased the initial precipitation temperature and maximum precipitation amount of σ phase in S32750 SDSS equilibrium phase diagram. The activity of Mo also increased with increasing Si content and Mo content. That is, Mo and Si elements promoted the precipitation of σ phase.
