Description

The nature and kinetics of the phase transformation of metastable delta-ferrite in two duplex stainless steel manual metal arc weld metals has been studied at two carbon levels 0.042 and 0.076 wt%. The lean deposit exhibited a rapid transformation to intermetallic phases on post-weld treatment, whilst the higher carbon deposit retained stable delta-ferrite after similar heat treatment. These results appear to be consistent with previously published transformation models for similar materials. (author)
