In the present paper, the chemical composition of passive films formed on both phases of two types of duplex stainless steels (UNS S31803 and UNS S32304) is determined at the micro-scale using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Samples were either mechanically polished (down to diamond pastes) or el

β¦ Synopsis
The electrochemical behaviour of ferritic and austenitic phases in duplex stainless steel (UNS S32304) and the modifications induced by straining during sliding were studied by potentiodynamic polarisation curves determined at the microscale in a 1 M NaCl (pH 3) solution, using an electrochemical microcell. The mechanical properties and stress state of each phase were determined by microhardness and X-ray microdiffraction measurements, before and after straining. The results show that sliding generates elastic straining of the ferrite and plastic deformation of the austenite. The electrochemical behaviour of these phases is dramatically altered, inducing a reduction of the corrosion resistance and of the passivation properties.

## Abstract Electrochemical localized corrosion tests in substitute ocean water at 40Β°C and 70Β°C and ASTM G48 tests in 6% FeCl~3~ solution were performed on three classes of stainless steels: Niβaustenitic (both traditional and with high nitrogen content ones), high nitrogen Mnβaustenitic nickel fr
In this paper an attempt has been made to study the effect of shot peening on stress corrosion cracking of 2205-Duplex stainless steel. Cast steel shot was selected to be the peening media. Specimens of 2205-Duplex stainless steel were tested in the peened and unpeened condition. Quantitative data o
