Abstract
A specimen of weld metal was prepared by GTA welding with weld wire of super duplex stainless steel. Aging treatment was conducted for the sample at the temperature range of 700 to <TEX>$900^{\circ}C$</TEX> for 5 to 300 minutes. The effect of volume fraction of <TEX>${\sigma}$</TEX>-phase to intergranular corrosion of weld metal has been investigated and the results were derived as follows. The volume fraction of <TEX>${\sigma}$</TEX> phase tends to increase with an increase of aging temperature and time and intergranular corrosion of weld metal was increased by an increase of <TEX>${\sigma}$</TEX> phase. Degree of sensitization representing intergranular corrosion was found to tend to increase with an increase of aging time at 700 to <TEX>$800^{\circ}C$</TEX>, while it decreased by an increase of aging time at <TEX>$900^{\circ}C$</TEX>.
