The main purpose of this contribution was the study of the relation between sigma formation and pitting corrosion resistance of a UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel aged at 850°C. Solution-treated samples were isothermally ...

This paper is based on the study of intermetallic phase formation during aging between 850 C and 950 C, for periods up to 5 min; those treatments were conducted in liquid aluminum bath, allowing fast heating of the small ...
