In this study, NSSC 2120 economical duplex stainless steel was prepared and the effects of aging temperatures on its intermetallic phase morphology, tensile strength, elongation, corrosion resistance, and antimicrobial properties were investigated. The results revealed that after aging the sample at 650 °C, it exhibits better pitting corrosion resistance and higher tensile strength. Upon increasing the aging temperature up to 750 °C, the pitting corrosion resistance and tensile strength of the samples were decreased due to the precipitation of the ε-Cu phase in the matrix. Moreover, with the further increase in the aging temperature to 850 °C, oxides containing Mn and Cr (CrMn1.5O4) and sulfides (MnS) precipitated from the samples, further decreasing their pitting corrosion resistance and tensile strength. Upon aging the samples at 950 °C, no second phase was observed and the corrosion resistance was less than that of the sample after aging at 650 °C, but the tensile strength was greater than that of the sample after aging at 650 °C. Antibacterial test results revealed that the sample after aging at 750 °C exhibited a good antibacterial effect due to the precipitation of the rod-shaped ε-Cu phase.

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.

The pitting corrosion resistance of S32750 super duplex stainless steel, annealing treated at temperatures of 950–1200 °C for 20–60 min, was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization tests. The results show that the volume fractions of ferrite in the S32750 duplex stainless steel increased from 48.9% to 68.4% as annealing temperatures increased from 950 to 1200 °C. The pitting potential of the sample increased first and then decreased from an annealing temperature of 950 to 1050 °C, and the highest pitting potential was observed after annealing at 1050 °C for 35 min. The pitting corrosion resistance of S32750 stainless steel is due to the combination of pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN) value, phase fraction and grain boundary area fraction, and the imbalance of corrosion potential.
