Analyzing the effects of heat treatment on SMAW duplex stainless steel weld overlays
Duplex stainless steel (DSS) has a reasonably high resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking for offshore and marine applications. However, DSS weld overlay has not been successfully demonstrated due to some inherent problems in achieving pitting and crevice corrosion resistance. In this rese...

| description | Duplex stainless steel (DSS) has a reasonably high resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking for offshore and marine applications. However, DSS weld overlay has not been successfully demonstrated due to some inherent problems in achieving pitting and crevice corrosion resistance. In this research work, isothermal heat treatments (350, 650 and 1050 °C) with and different cooling rates have been performed DMR249 Grade A by using shield metal arc welding (SMAW) with an E2209 electrode. Micrographs have shown two phase microstructures of the DSS weld metal, the amounts of austenite phase increased with increment of post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) temperatures. The dilution has maintained consistent values except solution annealing that has shown the disappearance of the heat affected zone in micrographs. The weld metal hardness values increased with PWHT temperatures and remained low at solid solution annealing temperatures. The major alloying elements (C, Mo, Cr, Ni, N, and Fe) were analyzed, as these elements can contribute to intermetallic phases. The results showed that C and Cr content slightly increased with PWHT except for solid solution annealing, Mo showed consistently low content due to dilution effects. Ni maintained higher content, although the heat-treated samples showed slight fluctuations. Nitrogen produced consistent values, as recommended to prevent critical involvement in nitride precipitation. |
