Pit morphology and its microstructure relation in 850°C aged UNS S31803 (SAP 2205) duplex stainless steel. Associação Brasileira de Metalurgia e Materiais, p. 324-332, jul, 2003.https://repositorio.fei.edu.br/handle/FEI/5072This work described the relationship between microstructure of UNS S 31803 (SAP 2205) aged at 850°C and pitting morphology after cyclic polarization in chloride aqueous solution. The initial material, solution treated for 30 minutes at 1120°C and water quenched, was aged at 850°C for periods up to 100 hours. Cyclic polarization in 3,5% NaCl aqueous solution was conducted on #600 grounded sample surfaces. After polarization, the samples were sectioned transversal and perpendicular to polarized surface to allow the inner view of pitting corrosion using scanning electron microscope. It was found that sigma phase formation after 850°C aging treatment reduced pitting potential, and pitting corrosion occurred as selective corrosion of chromium and molybdenum impoverished regions, like interfaces between sigma phase and metallic matrix.Acesso RestritoArtigo de eventoDuplex stainless steelMicrostructurePitting corrosion
