Abstract

Abstract The effects of post heat treatment atmosphere on microstructure and corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel welded joints were investigated. Post weld heat treatment (PWHT) was carried out with and without protective different atmospheres. Nitrogen and argon are used as protective gases individually. Detailed microstructure examination (optical and SEM) demonstrates that nitrides precipitates are highly observed in the welded zones for nitrogen protected samples. An observed drop of ferrite volume fraction in post weld heat treated samples compared with welded samples without heat treatment leading to corrosion resistance enhancement of heat treated welded joints. An exception for using nitrogen as heat treatment atmosphere a decreased corrosion resistance of weldments is investigated due to nitride precipitates.
