RESUMO

Duplex stainless steels belong to a group of high performance stainless steels regarding to corrosion and mechanical properties. These achievements are related to a suitable chemical composition and a balanced microstructure. During welding thermal cycles the microstructure changes and, consequently, corrosion and mechanical properties might be impaired due to a precipitation of intermetallic phases. This precipitation is an issue to be addressed for multipass welding. It was developed a method for simulate the multipass welding thermal cycles. Using this method chromium nitride and sigma phase precipitation was studied in a simulated heat affected zone of multipass welding (three passes) of UNS S31803 and UNS S32550 duplex stainless steels with different heat inputs (0,4 to 1,0 kJ/mm). The HAZ simulated region was below 950°C maximum temperature. Microstructural characterization of simulated samples showed discontinuous films of a precipitated phase at ferrite/ferrite grain boundaries and ferrite/austenite interfaces were observed only in a UNS S32550 duplex grade for all heat inputs simulated. This suggests that sigma phase and chromium nitride precipitation took place during sample thermocycling. X-ray diffraction in a Debye-Scherrer chamber of extracted precipitates and electron diffraction by TEM confirmed the presence of chromium nitrides for all range of heat input studied and sigma phase for heat input above 0,6 kJ/mm. On the other hand, microstructural analysis of UNS S31803 simulated samples did not present precipitation of intermetallic phases in the tested temperature range of HAZ. Based on these results, UNS S31803 is more resistant than UNS S32550 to intermetallic phases precipitation in multipass welding.
