Duplex stainless steel finds increasing use as an alternative to austenitic stainless steel, particularly where chloride or sulphide stress corrosion cracking is of primary concern, due to the excellent combination of strength and corrosion resistance. During welding, duplex stainless steel does not create the same magnitude or distribution of weld-induced residual stresses as those in welded austenitic stainless steel due to the different physical and mechanical properties between them. In this work, an experimental study on the residual stresses in butt-welded duplex stainless steel is performed utilizing the layering technique to investigate the characteristics of residual stresses in the weldment.

듀플렉스 스테인리스강은 페라이트와 오스테나이트 상이 공존하는 특징을 갖는다. 그러한 구조에 의해서 페라이트와 오스테나이트상의 장점을 동시에 갖는 특성이 있다. 높은 강도와, 우수한 내식성, 응력 부식 균열 그리고 낮은 니켈의 함량 때문에 안정적인 가격을 갖는 장점을 갖기 때문에 운송, 기름과 가스, 해양플랜트, 건축 그리고 높은 강도와 우수한 내식성이 필요한 분야에서 수요가 증가할 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 듀플렉스 스테인리스강의 형성에서 페라이트와 오스테나이트상의 균형과 내식성을 개선하기 위해 질소가 첨가된다[1,2]. 본 연구는 저니켈 듀플렉스 스테인리스강(STS 329 FLD)의 공식 형성 과정에서 질소의 함량이 공식 형성과 내식특성에 미치는 영향을 동전위분극, XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) 그리고 GDOES(Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry)를 이용하여 규명하였다. GDOES를 이용하여 깊이별 원소 분포를 정량적으로 비교한 결과, 부동태막에서 질소는 기저에 비하여 증가하였고, 질소의 함량이 증가함에 따라 wt.% 또한 증가하였다. 이러한 부동태막의 깊이별 원소 분포특성이 내식특성과 공식의 크기에 미치는 영향을 동전위분극을 이용하였다. 질소의 함량이 증가하였을 경우, 부식전위는 증가하였으며, 부식전류는 감소하였다. 또한 부동태전류가 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 차이의 원인을 확인하기 위하여 XPS를 이용하여 질소의 화학적 상태를 확인하였다. 질소는 암모니아의 형태로 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 암모니아 상태로 부동태막에 존재함에 따라 공식이 형성될 때, 암모늄 화함물을 형성하여 공식 내부의 산성도를 낮춤으로써 공식의 형성이 억제된 것으로 사료된다. 또한 공식 이후의 표면을 관찰 할 경우 질소의 함량이 증가함에 따라 표면에서 공식이 거의 관찰되지 않았다.

This work reports the results for laser shock peening of duplex stainless steel (22% Chromium - 5% Nickel) using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser (wavelength = 532nm, pulse width = 8ns). for the application to high-capacity pumps for seawater desalination plants. By properly selecting the process parameters such as laser intensity of 10GW/$cm^2$, laser pulse density of 75pulse/$mm^2$, and $100{\mu}m$ thick aluminum foil as an absorbent coating layer, the surface hardness of duplex stainless steel could be enhanced by 26%, from 256HV to 323HV with little changes in surface morphology and roughness. The depth of laser shock peened layer was measured to be around 2mm. The large enhancement of surface hardness is considered to have high practical importance in minimizing abrasive and corrosive deterioration of pump parts.

The effects of reheating during welding on the microstructure and impact toughness of weld metal in 25% Cr super duplex stainless steels were investigated. Using different heat inputs, weld metals with different reheated regions were obtained. This showed that, depending on the reheating temperature, the microstructure in the reheated region was quite different from that of the as-deposited microstructure. When reheated into the ${\gamma}+{\alpha}$ temperature range, fine intragranular austenite was formed in the as-deposited columnar structure. However, when reheated above the ${\alpha}$ solvus temperature range, most of the columnar structure disappeared and fine equiaxed austenite and ferrite were formed. Because of the larger amount of fine austenite in the reheated region, a higher impact toughness was obtained in the weld metal with a higher amount of reheated region.

A special usage impeller pump for ballast water treatment is part of an offshore plant's structure. It has to maintain a high corrosion resistance in an extreme environment, in which it can contact several kinds of aqueous solutions. The duplex stainless steel used in such severe environments is known to have corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties. This study estimated the performance of an impeller pump system designed using duplex stainless steel through a computational fluid dynamics analysis. As a result, it was determined that the pressure drop increases and the impeller performance is lowered if the equivalent roughness is enlarged. The surface precision of the duplex stainless steel must be consistently maintained. If thisis the case, it was determined that the existing STS steel can be substituted for the Duplex stainless steel.

Duplex stainless steels have the dual microstructure of austenite and ferrite phases. This steel exhibits generally a high corrosion resistance and higher mechanical strength compared with austenitic stainless steels. The steels used in the investigation have the chemical composition of Fe-22Cr-xNi-yMn-0.2N in which the contents of Ni and Mn were varied with maintaining the equal [Ni/Cr] equivalent. The fraction of ferrite phase was increased with the increase of annealing temperature. The impact factor of Mn element on the [Ni] equivalent was amended on the basis of the results of the investigation. 4Mn-2Ni alloy showed the highest pitting corrosion resistance. The fraction ratio, grain size and misorientation angle between grains were measured, and the correlation with pitting potential was investigated.

The stainless steel wire is extensively used for the orthodontic treatment. But, the stainless steel wire that has commonly superior corrosion resistance has caused hypersensitive reaction or allergy as side effects because of corrosion in the oral environment. For improving the problem of corrosion, we was evaluated the suitability of the duplex stainless steel(DSS) as orthodontic wire through this study. The DSS wire was evaluated the mechanical strength and bio-stability for suitability and bio-compatibility as orthodontic wire. In this work, the DSS and stainless steel(SS) as common use of medical grade were prepared for the tensile strength test. The DSS wire were treated by heat. and Temperature conditions of the heat treatment were $28^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$, $900^{\circ}C$, respectively. And the DSS wires that treated by heat on the optimum temperature condition were conducted the bending moment test and calculated the S-Max value and the modulus of elasticity. For evaluating the bio stability, each materials were conducted in vitro test for measuring the cell survival rate. The most interesting results was that the tensile strength test of SS wire($8.17\times10^4\;N/mm^2$) and DSS wire($8.05\times10^4\;N/mm^2$) that treated at $500^{\circ}C$ by heat were similar in mechanical strength. In the bio-stability study, the DSS has no cytotoxicity (p=0.05) Thus, we could make a conclusion that the duplex stainless steel wire has vastly superior corrosion resistance was suitable as orthodontic wire.

This work presents the effect of the cooling rate on the precipitation of super duplex stainless steel. Specimens of super duplex stainless steel with a specific composition were cooled at various cooling rates after being melted at $1550^{\circ}C$ in a directional solidification furnace. Ferrite (${\delta}$), Austenite (${\gamma}$), Sigma (${\sigma}$), and Chi (${\chi}$) phases were precipitated when the cooling rate was lower than 0.22 K/s. When the cooling rate was 0.22 K/s or faster, ${\sigma}$ and ${\chi}$ phases were not precipitated.

To elucidate the characteristics of cavitation erosion of super duplex stainless steel, a cavitation erosion test, an optical microstructure, a hardness test, and a transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis were conducted. As aging time at $475^{\circ}C$ increased, the hardness of ferrite phase increased whereas that of austenite phase was nearly constant. The reason why the cavitation erosion resistance increased with an increase of aging time was due to the formation of W-rich phases (${\alpha}$') of a nanometer scale with the high hardness that were precipitated within ${\alpha}$-grains and at ${\alpha}$-grain boundaries during aging, compared with that of the solution annealed alloy.

The pitting corrosion behavior of 329LD cast lean duplex stainless steel and CF3M cast austenitic stainless steel was investigated in chloride environments. The pitting corrosion resistance of the 329LD alloy was superior to that of the CF3M alloy because the pitting potential, passive region, and critical pitting temperature of the low Ni-low Mo 329LD alloy were higher than those of the high Ni-medium Mo commercial CF3M alloy. There are two main reasons for the enhancement of the pitting corrosion resistance of high Cr-low Momedium N 329LD alloy compared to the low Cr-medium Mo CF3M alloy: First, the pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN_δ+γ) value of the 329LD alloy is higher than that of the CF3M alloy. Second, the passive region of the 329LD alloy is larger than that of the CF3M alloy. It indicates that the synergistic effect of the three elements by adding high Cr and low Mo-medium N to the 329LD alloy enhances the passivity of the passive film, thereby increasing the pitting corrosion resistance. It was verified that based on the PREN_γ of austenite (γ) and PREN_δ of ferrite (δ) values calculated using an N-factor of 16, the pitting corrosion of the 329LD alloy was selectively initiated at the γ-phases because PREN_γ value of austenite (γ) was smaller than that of ferrite (δ), and finally propagated from the γ-phase to the δ-phase.
