Abstract:Duplex stainless steels are well known austenitic-ferritic alloys which combines good mechanical resistance and excellent corrosion resistance. Due to this fact, this steel family is widely employed in offshore piping applications. However, these alloys require great care in thermomechanical processing, such as welding, since they might present serious decrease in corrosion resistance and toughness at the welded joint when compared to the base metal. Undeniably, welding is one of the major processes employed i… Show more
