Effect of Laser Beam Welding on the Microstructure of Duplex Stainless Steels

Abstract:

This study addressed the evolution of microstructure across some duplex stainless steel joints welded by laser beam without and with applying additional materials. The chemical composition and the thickness of the parent material modify the welded joints profile also. Similar technological parameter results different macrostructure and ferrite content at different type of additional material. Pitting corrosion resistance were also studied.
