Description:
The microstructure and mechanical properties of 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) during long-term aging at 500°C were studied. The results showed the hardness of specimens increased all the time during aging, reach the peak with aged for 5800h. Besides, aging at 500°C led to a significant decrease in toughness and notable increase in strength. Fractographs showed that, with increasing aging time, the fracture morphology changed from fibrous fracture to Tran’s granular and intragranular fracture. Finally, the changes in microstructure due to aging were studied by optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Transmission electron micrographs revealed that many dislocations and precipitates were distributed along α/γ and α/α interfaces. The precipitates were extracted and confirmed by diffraction pattern to be Cr2N and R-phase; they precipitate from the ferrite phase. Therefore, it can be concluded that dislocation, Cr2N and R-phase are th...
