Arc welding of duplex steinless steels considering maximum increase of weld corrosion resistance

Main Article Content
Abstract
Two-phase ferrite-austenitic duplex stainless steels demonstrate excellent combination of strength and corrosion resistance including particularly aggressive pitting corrosion in chloride environment. The use of duplex and super-duplex stainless steels has continued to increase since last decade of XX century but despite of the knowledge and experience acquired there are still problems encountered in practice. Well justified term good weldability refers exclusively to the group of technological features for easy metal parts joining by welding, but not to the automatic provision of cor- rosion resistance of welding joints, which in chlorides environment reaches only 50÷80% of original parent material resistance. Welding technology factors and impact on final corrosion resistance of welds are widely discussed. This includes particularly weld chemical composition, heat input balance, oxidation, nitrogen content, shielding and purging gas, and the practical constraints of the welding process.

Spawanie łukowe stali duplex pod kątem maksymalizacji odporności połączeń spawanych na korozję wżerową w środowisku chlorków
Dwufazowe stale ferrytyczno-austenityczne typu duplex wykazują doskonałą kombinację właściwości mechanicznych i odporności na korozję, w tym szczególnie agresywną korozję wżerową w środowisku chlorkowym. Pomimo wiedzy i doświadczenia zdobytego podczas spawania tych stopów aktualnie nadal obserwuje się problemy ujawniane w trakcie badań korozyjnych. Dobrze uzasadniony termin dobra spawalność odnosi się wyłącznie do grupy cech technologicznych ułatwiających łączenie elementów metalowych przez spawanie, ale nie oznacza automatycznie wysokiej odporności na korozję połączeń spawanych, która w środowisku chlorków osiąga tylko 50÷80% materiału rodzimego. W artykule zostały omówione wszystkie czynniki metalurgiczne oraz technologiczne mające wpływ na końcowe właściwości korozyjne złączy spawanych.
