Evaluation of the low corrosion resistant phase formed during the sigma phase precipitation in duplex stainless steels

The duplex stainless steels, having a volumetric fraction of 50% ferrite and 50% austenite, conciliate high corrosion resistance with good mechanical properties. But, in many circumstances different phase transformations may occur, such as that responsible for sigma phase precipitation, which make t...
