Abstract:
In this work, the corrosion resistance of CD4MCu (UNS J93370) duplex stainless steel both at cold-rolled and annealed states was studied with respect to microstructure, alpha'-martensite, alpha/gamma phase boundaries, LAGBs (low-angle grain boundaries), sigma 3 and textures. A series of characterization methods including optical microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical testing were applied to analyze the microstructure and interpret the corrosion resistance changes. The results show that as the cold rolling deformation increases, the phase spacing decreases and the gamma/alpha interphase boundary ratio increases. Strain-induced martensite forms during plastic deformation and the amount increases as the deformation goes on. After cold rolling, Cu, S, brass and Goss textures form in gamma phase, and weaker alpha- and gamma-fiber textures form in alpha phase. After annealing, the texture intensity in the gamma phase is weakened, while the gamma-fiber texture in the ferrite phase is enhanced. The corrosion resistance can be improved by appropriate deformation and annealing. The increment of LAGB and sigma 3 grain boundary with low interfacial energy and the favorable textures induced during deformation are suggested to be responsible for the improvement in the corrosion resistance. They offset the negative effects of alpha'-martensite and defects on the corrosion resistance. As a function of deformation level, the corrosion resistance of both the deformed and annealed samples enhanced first and then decreased, reaching the best corrosion resistance at 60% deformation.
