Definitions

  • the present invention relates to stainless steel alloys.
  • Duplex stainless steel alloys of the ferritic austenitic type have been developed over recent years for their combination of mechanical properties, high resistance to localized corrosion and their resistance to stress corrosion cracking in a seawater environment. Such steels are described for example in U.K. Patent No. 1,158,614 and U.S. Patent No. 3,065,119 and are available under the designations CD4MCu and Ferralium.
  • a typical composition of such an alloy is as follows:
  • compositional levels of the elements promoting either austenite or ferrite in the microstructure are controlled to produce a structure which is balanced and which contains a minimum of 65% austenite.
  • This microstructural control provides an alloy which has a good combination of toughness and corrosion resistance in thick section castings when adopting air cooling from solution heat treatment temperatures.
  • austenite levels of 65% and above result in an overall reduction in tensile strength since the latter is sensitive to changes in the austenite/ferrite balance.
  • Nitrogen is used in amounts up to 0.5% in austenitic stainless steels of the A.I.S.I. 200 series to impart high strength levels.
  • solubility of nitrogen in the conventional duplex 25 Cr/5Ni steels reaches a maximum of approximately 0.2% (J.F. Elliot et al Thermochemistry for Steelmaking, Vol II, Adison and Wesley Publishers, 1963).
  • the inclusion of amounts of nitrogen in excess of 0.2% in the conventional duplex 25Cr/5Ni steels results in severe gassing problems in castings.
  • said alloy having a duplex microstructure of austenite and ferrite.
  • the alloy is of the following composition
  • the alloy has a microstructure comprising at least 60% and more preferably at least 65% austenite
  • N 2 0.15 - 0.3 % N 2 in the alloy provides an increase in tensile and proof stresses as well as in localised corrosion performance. Amounts of nitrogen less than 0.15% do not give the required properties for the alloy whereas amounts greater than 0.3% cannot be obtained due to its limited solubility. Amounts of manganese less than 3.5% do not give the required N 2 solubility whereas amounts greater than 5.0 % lead to excessive formation of sigma phase.
  • the alloy may be prepared from a melt containing the various components in the required amount by casting of the melt and subsequent heat treatment in the manner known for the production of duplex alloys of the austenite ferrite type.
  • the nitrogen for the alloy may be provided by high nitrogen ferrochrome.
  • the alloy with above 60% austenite content has a tensile strength of 650 MPa or less and a 0.2% Proof Strength of 490 MPa or less.
  • ferritic austenitic alloys which contained nominally 25% Cr, 6-7% Ni, 2% Mo, 0.05% N 29 amounts of manganese from 1 to 15%, and a balance of iron plus unavoidable impurities.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates this formation of sigma phase and is a Time Temperature Transformation curve showing the rate of sigma phase formation in a conventional duplex base alloy (nominally 25Cr/5Ni) (curve A), an alloy containing 3% Mn (curve B), and one containing 5% Mn (curve C).
  • Curve A a conventional duplex base alloy
  • Curve B an alloy containing 3% Mn
  • curve C a continuous cooling path typical of the cooling rate 'seen' at the centre of a 6" diameter billet.
  • Fig. 2 also shows the TTT curve showing rate of formation of sigma phase in Uranus 50, a typical duplex stainless steel alloy with a 50/50 austenite/ferrite microstructure.
  • duplex alloys (nominally 25Cr/5Ni) were prepared.
  • One series of alloys contained a nominal 1% Mn and the other contained 4.5% Mn.
  • the alloys of each series were prepared with nitrogen levels of between 0.2 and 0.35%.
  • Fig. 3 is a graph showing the relationship of increasing manganese content on the critical crevice and pitting temperatures in artificial seawater of two nominally 25Cr/5Ni duplex alloys, one containing 0.1% N 2 and the other 0.23% N 2 .
  • the solid curves represent pitting temperatures and the dashed lines represent crevice temperatures.
  • the alloy with the higher nitrogen content has the higher values of critical pitting tmmperature and critical crevice temperature; the alloy with 0.23% nitrogen maintains a critical pitting temperature of over 60°C up to a manganese addition of 5% and also shows a rise in critical crevice temperature for manganese additions of 3 to 4%.
  • Fig. 4 is a graph showing the relationship of increasing levels of nitrogen on the pitting and crevice temperatures of a series of duplex alloys (nominally 25Cr/5Ni) containing 4.5% Mn. The alloys were subjected to cyclic anodic polarisation measurement in artificial seawater to determine their localised corrosion performance.
  • the alloy may include copper in an amount up to 1% by weight. If greater than 0.5% by weight of copper is added, the active dissolution rate of a duplex alloy in boiling hydrochloric acid and the crevice corrosion loss in a chloride solution is also decreased.
  • Tungsten upto 1% by weight increases the immunity potentials to crevice corrosion of a duplex alloy in high temperature chloride solutions above which crevice corrosive starts.
