Microstructural Evolution of UNS S32205 Duplex Stainless Steel During Cold Rolling and Subsequent Annealing by C. Gauss, M.J.R. Sandim, H.R.Z. Sandim

“…We followed the microstructural evolution of UNS S32205 duplex stainless steel during cold rolling up to 79% reduction in thickness and at early stages of isothermal annealing at 1080ºC. Qualitative analysis of peak broadening and kernel average misorientation (KAM) parameter obtained by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), respectively, indicated a higher work hardening of austenite. …”

Evaluation on pipeline steel adaptability for extended hydrogen-contacting service by Yuanxing NING, Cuiwei LIU, Yuxing LI, Ming SONG, Huimin ZHANG, Qu'er CHEN, Mengze ZHU, Shiyao PENG, Junwen CHEN

“…The hydrogen permeation behavior was investigated through in-situ gas phase permeation tests combined with electron backscatter diffraction analysis. Finally, slow strain rate tensile tests and fatigue crack propagation tests were conducted at varying hydrogen blending ratios to assess the impact of hydrogen on the tensile and fatigue properties of 20 steel in service. …”
