Hi to everyone,
further to add,
Is it mendatory to go for the weld cracking resistance test for DSS material?
can hardness survey on weld, HAZ, base metal substitute weld cracking resistance test?
One may use spec.MR0175/ISO 15156-3 clause A.7,6.2.2
With Regards,
Rutvik

Dear Rutvik, What Hemant told is absolutely right. Since, when austenite is <50 wt.%, materials show net duplex microstructures. But when the austenite percentage is higher than ferrite, a diffusion interface appears at grain boundaries, which modifies all the properties. The objective of this work is to characterize this interface in order to identify its nature and predict the behaviour of the duplex stainless steel. For this purpose, a duplex stainless steel has been produced by mixing ferritic–austenitic stainless steel grade powders, compacting at 700 MPa and sintering in vacuum at 1250 °C for 30 min. The mentioned interface has been studied by SEM and light optical microscopy (LOM) and characterized by nanoindentation in order to determine the hardness and Young's modulus of each phase. Testing mechanical properties completes the study.

You will always have differences in the distribution of austenite when
welding is involved. The dendritic austenite structure for the weld is
normal and mostly will have a little bit more austenite than ferrite.
In the heat affected zone always the opposite is present. During
welding and cooling down there will arise more ferrite in the heat
affected zone even when you take the necesary precautions regarding
interpass temp of max. 150 - 175°C. Important is that the base
material have a homogenous distribution of Austenite Islands in a
Ferritic matrix. The requirements for the Ferrite range of 35 - 65 %
is what you should keep in mind. In the weld it will be near to 35%
and in the HAZ near to the fusion line it will be near to the 65%.
The only way to prove that the present microstructure met the
requirements for the corrosion properties is to perform a corrosion
test on this WPS.

Herman Pieper
