Effect of Solution Treatment on Microstructure and Properties of the SAF2507 Super Duplex Stainless Steel

摘要

Effect of solution treated temperature at 500～1100°C on ferrite/austenite ratio and σ phase precipitation has been studied in this paper, and the tensile properties after solution treatment at 950°C and 1050°C is compared. The results shows that the ferrite/austenite ratio treated 1050~1100°C is about 1:1; and the formation of σ phase occurs in the ferrite or at ferrite - austenite boundary. The quantity of the σ phase precipitation increases firstly and then decreases with increase of the solution treatment temperature, reaching the maximum at 900°C, and disperse at above 1050°C. Tensile tests show that the fracture is brittle divided and stretched by ductile belt at 950°C, and ductile at 1050°C.
