Abstract

Duplex stainless-steel features a unique microstructure with balanced amounts of ferrite and austenite, achieved through the stabilization of elements like Cr, Mo, Ti, Si, Ni, N, C, and Mn. This balance contributes to excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. In this study, welding was performed on a 3 mm thick plate using a current of 135A, a voltage of 20V, and Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN) polarization at a welding speed of 4.5 mm/sec. Post-Welding Heat Treatment (PWHT) annealing was applied at temperatures of 1050℃, 1150℃, and 1200℃ for 10 minutes, followed by slow cooling. The experimental result shows that, VHN increased significantly at 1050℃, while lower temperatures resulted in decreased hardness. The highest tensile strength of 879 MPa was found in the specimen without PWHT, which decreased significantly between 1050℃ and 1150℃ but slightly improved at 1200℃ to 683.01 MPa. The best corrosion resistance was observed at 1050℃, with a low corrosion rate of 0.000237358 mm/year. In contrast, the specimen without PWHT had the worst corrosion resistance, with a rate of 0.001924398 mm/year. In conclusion, PWHT annealing at all temperatures increased hardness but reduced tensile strength, with the best mechanical properties restored at 1050℃, followed by 1150℃ with lower tensile strength.
