Abstract
Abstract: Duplex stainless steels (DSSs) are prone to age hardening and embrittle over a wide temperature range depending on their chemical composition. This is mainly due to precipitation phenomena that may occur inside ferrite grains and at ferrite-austenite grain boundaries. The aim of this work is the analysis of chemical composition influence on fatigue crack propagation resistance of “475°C embrittled” duplex stainless steels. Fatigue crack propagation resistance of 21 Cr 1 Ni, 22 Cr 5 Ni and 25 Cr 7 Ni duplex stainless steels was investigated considering both as received and 475°C embrittled conditions (1000h). Microstructural analyses were performed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Concentrations of the main elements, but carbon, were evaluated using a standardless analysis program.
