Specimens of SAF2507 super-duplex stainless steel were heated at 920°C with different aging time. The phase transformation and development of microstructure in the materials were investigated by color optical microscopy, scan electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The hardness was tested by HB-3000B hardness tester. The facts that sigma phase precipitated right after 2 min. At 920°C, the grain boundaries to be the preferential precipitation sites and the sites changed from ferritic-austenitic phase interface into the inside of ferritic phase was found. Increase in aging time is proportional to the increase in sigma phase precipitation mass was most frequently observed in specimens. For phase precipitation, the values of hardness of the super-duplex stainless steel was enhanced evidently.

Specimens of 2507 super-duplex stainless steel aging at 850°C for 5 min, 15 min and 60 min were investigated to evaluate the pitting corrosion resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution at 30°C and 50°C. The results are correlated with the microstructures obtained with different aging time. The precipitation of σ phase remarkably decreases the pitting corrosion resistance of the steel and the specimen aged for 60 min presents the lowest pitting potential at both 30°C and 50°C. With increasing the ambient temperature from 30°C to 50°C, the pitting potential exhibits a reduction tendency, while this tendency is less obviously in enhancing the ambient temperature than in extending the isothermal aging duration from 5 to 60 min. SEM analysis shows that the surrounding regions of σ phase are the preferable sites for the formation of corrosion pits which grew up subsequently. This may be attributed to the lower content of corrosion resistance elements in these regions formatted with σ phase precipitation.
