Abstract
The effect of austenite morphology on the corrosion resistance of a newly-developed advanced duplex stainless steel (ADCS) was evaluated by electrochemical and chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) tests. By properly controlling heat treatment conditions, equiaxed (EQ) and elongated (EL) austenites were formed in ferrite matrix. ADCS-EQ exhibited higher pitting potential than ADCS-EL, primarily owing to less phase boundary. Meanwhile, ADCS-EL showed better CISCC resistance than ADCS-EQ, as the elongated austenite inhibited selective dissolution. Overall, the CISCC resistance of ADCS was more affected by austenite morphology and orientation, and would not be in accordance with pitting corrosion resistance.
