Item 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 CláudioDuplex 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.Item Effect of PWHT on laser-welded duplex stainless steel : the effects of postweld heat treatments on the microstructure, tensile behavior, and corrosion resistance of laser-welded duplex stainless steel were investigated.(2020) Magalhaes, Aparecida Silva; Magalhães, Charles Henrique Xavier Morais; Lima, Milton Sérgio Fernandes de; Alves, Juliane Ribeiro da Cruz; Godefroid, Leonardo Barbosa; Bertazzoli, Rodnei; Faria, Geraldo Lúcio deThe welded joints of duplex stainless steels (DSSs) have been widely used in petrochemical, nuclear, pulp, and paper industries. Welds require a good, superficial finishing and a combination of mechanical and corrosion properties in these types of high-quality, demanding applications. Even though laser welding promotes narrow weld beads and a small heataffected zone, when it is applied to DSSs, it can produce dangerous microstructural discontinuities. In this context, the effects of subsequent heat treatments on the microstructure, corrosion resistance, microhardness, and tensile properties of DSS laser-welded joints are investigated. In this study, samples of UNS S32304 DSS were submitted to two different conditions of laser welding. Subsequently, the plates submitted to the best welding condition were subjected to isothermal heat treatments at different temperatures (850°, 950°, 1050°, and 1150°C) for 10 min. Then they were microstructurally characterized. Phase fraction measurements and microhardness tests were performed. Based on the obtained results, postweld heat-treated samples at 1150°C, which is the best condition, were subjected to corrosion and tensile tests. It was possible to conclude the corrosion properties of the welded joint were significantly improved after the heat treatment. However, the mechanical behavior was strongly influenced by the presence of volumetric discontinuities and intermetallic compounds, which considerably deteriorated the mechanical strength of the material.Item Low-field magnetic analysis for sigma phase embrittlement monitoring in thermally aged 22Cr duplex stainless steel.(2020) Silva, David Domingos Soares da; Raimundo, Rafael Alexandre; Torquato, Ramon Alves; Faria, Geraldo Lúcio de; Torres, Marco Antônio Morales; Simões, Thiago A.; Gomes, Rodinei M.The aim of this study is to evaluate a new nondestructive method designated as Low-Field Magnetic Analysis (LFMA) based on the measurement of magnetic flux density for monitoring sigma (σ) phase precipitation in duplex stainless steel (DSS). In addition, the effect of isothermal aging treatment at 800 °C on the metallurgical degradation of UNS S31803 DSS was investigated. It was found a change in the volume fraction of α-Fe/γ-Fe phases due to α-Fe (ferromagnetic phase) eutectoid decomposition to precipitate sigma and secondary austenite (paramagnetic phases). A significant and gradual reduction of saturation magnetization was observed with the increase of thermal treatment time, indicating a decrease in the quantity of α-Fe phase. Two magnetic methods were used to verify the evolution of the σ phase: M−H measurements at 300 K using a commercial magnetometer and LFMA testing. Both methods were sensitive to small percentages of σ phase in the microstructure. Furthermore, our developed technique presents accurate results for low magnetic fields with high sensitivity and reliability.Item Characterization of the austenite reformation mechanisms as a function of the initial ferritic state in a UNS S32304 duplex stainless steel.(2017) Magalhães, Charles Henrique Xavier Morais; Faria, Geraldo Lúcio de; Lagoeiro, Leonardo Evangelista; Silva, Jéssica DornelasAiming to better understand the effects of heat treatment parameters on Ferrite-Austenite phase transformation in a 2304 duplex stainless steel different thermal cycles were applied to this steel in a quenching dilatometer. The obtained microstructures were characterized by optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction. It was noticed that the austenite formation mechanism is strongly dependent on initial ferritized state. If the initial structure is completely ferritized, the nitrogen supersaturated solid solution leads to chromium nitrides precipitation and the rate of austenite nucleation decreases. For higher cooling rates, the ferrite grain boundaries control the austenite nucleation rate. The higher the ferrite grain size, the lower the final austenite fraction. If the steel is cooled from a partial ferritized state, the ferrite-austenite phase boundaries work as austenite nucleation site and the austenite growth rate is favored due to the high interfacial energy and the austenitic structures becomes coarser.Item Effect of volume fraction of phases and precipitates on the mechanical behavior of UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel.(2015) Lacerda, José Carlos de; Cândido, Luiz Cláudio; Godefroid, Leonardo BarbosaMechanical properties of a grade UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel were studied. Samples were annealed at three different temperatures, 1060 C, 1200 C, and 1300 C, to change the a/c proportion, to precipitate undesirable phases (for example, a0 , r and chromium nitrides), and to study the effect of the microstructure on the mechanical behavior. Specimens with a thickness of 1.8 mm were prepared according to ASTM standards and tested at room temperature. Tensile tests were conducted using displacement control at a rate of 5 mm/min. Force-controlled constant amplitude axial fatigue tests were conducted at a frequency of 30 Hz and an R stress ratio of 0.1. Microstructural analyses, performed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, showed the following modifications to the microstructure: changes in the phase volume fractions, the phase grain growths, and the morphology of the c-phase and the precipitation of chromium nitrides in the a-phase. The mechanical properties of the steel were significantly changed due to the changed microstructure. The results demonstrate the sensitivity of the steel to the annealing temperature.
