Abstract:

The microstructure evolution of as-cast 0Cr32Ni7Mo4N hyper duplex stainless steel during the isothermal heat treatment in the temperature range of 800°C-1300°Cwas studied in the present investigation. The morphologies and precipitates were observed and determined by using optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that eutectoid decomposition reaction (δ→σ+γ2) take place in ferrite (δ) phase during isothermal heat treatment in the temperature range of 800°C-1000°C. Sigma (σ) phase and secondary austenite (γ2) phase coexist as cellular structure. Lamellar Cr2N precipitates in δ phase mostly when isothermal heat treatment at 800°Cand 850°C, while it only appears in γ phase between 900°C and 1050°C. As the annealing temperature rising, the quantity of σ phase, Cr2N and γ2 phase decreases. The volume fraction ratio of ferrite and austenite is stable between 1100°C and 1300°C, and γ → δ transformation is hard to occur.
