Abstract

A commercial 2507 duplex stainless steel with different solution treatments followed by aging at 850°C has been investigated. At the early aging time of 850°C, the σ-phase precipitate was predominantly distributed at the δ/γ interface, as the isothermal aging time was increased to 150 min, more σ-phase precipitate formed in ferrite and became coarser by a eutectoid reaction δσ+γ2. The amount of δ-ferrite decreased rapidly at the beginning of aging for 80 minutes, increasing solution treatment temperature from 1060°C to 1230°C delayed decomposition of δ-ferrite due to lowering σ-phase formation element (Cr). The reaction rate K and σ-phase precipitation rate were lowered by increasing solution treatment temperature from 1060°C to 1230°C.
