Duplex stainless steels are typically known to have a dualphase microstructure that contains both ferrite and austenite grains. This so-called microstructure offers a uniquely beneficial combination ...

One of the features that characterize stainless steels is a minimum 10.5% chromium content as the principal alloying element. Four major categories of wrought stainless steel, based on metallurgical ...

DP steels contain islands of hard martensitic second phase in a ferritic matrix. Steel strength improves when the volume fraction of hard second phases increases. The formation of DP steels involves ...

The formation of MS steels involves transformation of most of the austenite structure existing during the annealing or hot-rolling process to the martensite structure by rapid quenching in the cooling ...
