Resumo: |
The super duplex stainless steels are often used in applications where high mechanical strength is required, combined with corrosion resistance, especially in highly aggressive environments. However, when certain manufacturing processes are involved (hot forming or welding, for example) can occur the precipitation of undesirable phases, causing reduction of both mechanical properties as well as corrosion resistance. Particularly between 700 and 900 °C may occur sigma phase formation. This phase is responsible for the reduction of corrosion and mechanical resistance of super duplex steels. Through computer simulation in Thermo-CalC® program, the phase diagram of ASTM A890 GRADE 1C super duplex stainless steel showed higher precipitated fraction of this phase in 830 ºC temperature. Thus, this essay aims to evaluate the influence of isothermal treatment time in regards to this material aging, the corrosion resistance due to the formation of sigma phase. The evaluation of corrosion resistance was performed through open circuit potential monitoring, electrochemical impedance and potentiodynamic polarization tests (anodic branch) in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution, 0.5 M H2SO4 + 0.5M HCl and 0.5 M HCl at temperatures of 25, 35 and 45 °C. Additionally, a microstructural characterization of this material was performed by quantification phase through optical microscopy, morphological analysis by Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy, coupled techniques Electron backscattered diffraction and Electron Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy, and Vickers microhardness measures. The microstructural and morphological characterization confirmed the presence of sigma phase in super duplex stainless steel 1C and that the amount of this phase increases with aging heat treatment time. This phase showed a greater microhardness than the ferrite and austenite phases. The aging heat treatment influenced negatively on corrosion resistance of the steel when exposed to acidic solutions of H2SO4 and HCl at 25 °C, mainly when these are present in the same solution, probably due to their low pH. In this solution (H2SO4 + HCl), both increasing the aging heat treatment time as well as the temperature (35 and 45 °C), affects negatively the sample corrosion resistance, decreasing acoording a higher content of this phase |
