    Effect of thermal aging on the microstructure and mechanical properties of stainless steel UNS S31803.
    (2020) Costa, Junia Maria Gândara; Lacerda, José Carlos de; Godefroid, Leonardo Barbosa; Cândido, Luiz Cláudio
    Duplex stainless steel UNS S31803 exhibits high mechanical strength with high corrosion properties, due to its microstructure composed of ferrite and austenite phases, in equal proportion. When the UNS S31803 steel is submitted to high temperatures, some precipitations can occur, such as nitrites, carbides, and third phases (e.g. sigma phase -σ, and alpha prime - α'). These phases are deleterious in relation to the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and their effects are analyzed regarding the properties of the steel. In order to evaluate the precipitation of this deleterious phase, isothermal treatment was done at 500°C for 144 hours (α' phase) and at 850ºC for 80 minutes (σ phase). The results were obtained through the microstructural analysis and tensile tests. The presence of sigma phase was verified in the grain boundary, an increase in the mechanical resistance with a loss of toughness. There was as well as an increase in mechanical resistance with the precipitation of α', with less loss of ductility than that observed in the experiments involving the presence of sigma phase.

    Microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior of a lean duplex stainless steel aged at 475o C.
    (2021) Reis, Thompson Júnior Ávila; Santos, Henrique Meckler; Almeida, Eliza Wilk Reis de; Godefroid, Leonardo Barbosa
    In this research, the effects of isothermal treatments at 475 ◦C on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a UNS S32304 lean duplex stainless steel were investigated. Samples of the alloy under as received and aged conditions were analyzed by atomic force microscopy and magnetic force microscopy in order to evaluate the ability of these techniques to identify important aspects that characterize microstructural changes caused by aging. The mechanical behavior was evaluated by tensile tests, hardness tests, Charpy impact tests, crack extension resistance tests, force controlled axial fatigue tests and fatigue crack growth rate tests. The fracture surfaces of all tested specimens were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that the α-phase spinodal decomposition occurred, with a tendency to saturation for a not too long aging time. The analysis by atomic/magnetic force microscopy allowed to identify characteristics regarding the preferential phase dissolution of the α phase that distinguish the alloy in the as received condition from the aged alloy. As a consequence of the formation of the α’ phase, the absorbed impact energy and the fracture toughness of the alloy decreased substantially. On the other hand, the tensile strength and the fatigue resistance increased significantly.
