Microstructural Transformation in a Root Pass of Superduplex Stainless Steel Multipass Welding

The microstructure of the root pass in a superduplex stainless steel multipass welding was investigated.Results showed that the welding metal has an austenite matrix with particles of sigma phase formed in the ferrite/austenite interface and intragranularly.Eventhough the filler metal is intended to...

description The microstructure of the root pass in a superduplex stainless steel multipass welding was investigated.Results showed that the welding metal has an austenite matrix with particles of sigma phase formed in the ferrite/austenite interface and intragranularly.Eventhough the filler metal is intended to keep the phase balance after welding,the welding metal presented a considerable decrease in the ferrite content and a high proportion of sigma phase. Despite the exposition to thermal cycles on every pass, the heat affected zone presented a microstructure consisting of ferrite and austenite with a small proportion of sigma phase.Therefore,the thermal cycles of every welding pass allowed the decomposition of ferrite into austenite and sigma phase in points close to the heat source, changing the final microstructure.
