Duplex stainless steels possess a two-phase microstructure, comprising approximately equivalent volume fraction of austenite and ferrite. The mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steels are better than that of coventional stainless steels. In this experiment, addition of nitrogen in duplex stainless steel may increase ultimate tensile strength and yield strength, and increase slightly elongation simultaneously. Addition of nitrogen also can increase resistance of crevice corrosion, but it would increase the uniform corrosion rate in the environment with sulfuric acid. SO this is an interesting subject to research. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to study the effects of different nitrogen contents on mechanical properties of duplex stainless steel, and also to understand the effects of nitrogen in crevice corrosion and uniform corrosion of duplex stainless steel.
