Abstract
The effect of processing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast duplex stainless steel 2507 is studied. It is established that the structure of hot-rolled steel contains δ-ferrite and austenite (γ) bands that change due to 50% cold rolling to form microstructural constituents of a more refined and fragmented nature of a duplex (γ +δ) phase. Austenite grains are most effectively refined (up to 5 μm) because of the recrystallization occurring during aging treatment. The cold-rolled steel has maximum strength and minimum elongation. The best combination of strength and ductility is achieved after hot deformation + solution treatment at 1040°C with water cooling and after hot deformation + solution treatment at 1300°C with water cooling followed by isothermal aging at 1000°C. Such processing ensures a good formability of the steel.
