On the Corrosion behavior of 4A and 5A cast duplex stainless steel under different heat treatment conditions

In this analysis, corrosion efficiency and mechanical properties of duplex stainless steel castings (DSS-4A and DSS-5A) were compared to their wrought counterparts. Cast duplex stainless steel DSS-4A and DSS-5A are characterized in two separate solution treated settings, while their wrought counterp...

Description
Summary:In this analysis, corrosion efficiency and mechanical properties of duplex stainless steel castings (DSS-4A and DSS-5A) were compared to their wrought counterparts. Cast duplex stainless steel DSS-4A and DSS-5A are characterized in two separate solution treated settings, while their wrought counterparts are characterized in both solutions treated and forged form. Optical microscopy and X-ray diffractometry were employed to perform the metallurgical characterization. Electrochemical techniques such as Tafel extrapolation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate corrosion activity. An electrochemical workstation was used to perform the corrosion studies. To compare the stability and changes in corrosion properties of both grades, an ASTM standard B117 salt spray test was performed in a 3.5 percent NaCl medium. Without any intermetallic phases, the XRD showed austenite and ferrite phases. The elements were partitioned further into the phases that they promoted, according to the elemental study of the phases. The ultimate tensile strength and hardness values of DSS-5A are higher than those of DSS-4A. DSS-5A had a higher corrosion resistance than DSS-4A. When comparing the two media used (H2SO4 and NaCl), DSS-5A demonstrated superior corrosion resistance.
