Superduplex stainless steel alloy exhibit high mechanical and corrosion resistance, which main industrial application is in the petrochemical industry. The manufacture and maintenance of such equipment usually involve welding processes, followed by post-welded heat treatment and it often becomes impossible to apply heat treatments. Thereby, the purpose of this work is to verify the effect of a post-welded heat treatment on shielded metal arc welding in steel grade ASTM A890/A890M - grade 6A. The microstructure in the as-welded condition consisted of austenite, secondary austenite, and ferrite phases and, the post-welded heat treatment condition exhibited only austenite and ferrite. The hardness in the melt zone reached values of 300 HV after welding and, the value was reduced to 260 HV in the post-welded heat treatment condition.

Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment was applied to a commercial low carbon martensitic stainless steel, AISI Type 410 (Fe-12Cr-0.1C). The condition of partial quenching and partitioning was optimized with consideration of the untransformed austenite fraction and stability of austenite (carbon concentration in solid solution). As a result, the amount of retained austenite could be increased up to approximately 15 vol%. Tensile testing revealed that the specimens after Q&P heat treatment exhibited lower yield stress and larger work hardening rate compared with quench-and-tempered (Q&T) specimens under the same tensile strength level, resulting in a significantly better strength-ductility balance. It was confirmed that the TRIP effect had contributed to the mechanical property.

The fatigue limits of a 13Cr super-martensitic stainless steel from a hot rolled seamless tube were determined for three heat treatment conditions, including the as received quenched and tempered (QT) condition, quenched (Q), and quenched and double tempered (Q-DT). These heat treatments were applied to produce different microstructures and different tensile mechanical properties. The microstructures were characterized by microscopy and magnetic methods. The fatigue strength was accessed through the utilization of the thermographic technique. The results show that fatigue limits measured were between 38% and 44% of the ultimate strength. The as quenched condition gave the higher fatigue limit (444 MPa). However, the material has the lower dutility at this condition. The results aid to decide the best heat treatment condition and give support to design in applications where dynamic loadings are expected
