In this research, a new type of surface carburizing method which combines superplastic phenomenon and carburizing process called superplastic carburizing (SPC) was introduced. Thermo-mechanically treated duplex stainless steel (DSS) with fine grain microstructure and exhibits superplasticity was used as the superplastic material. The SPC was conducted at temperatures ranging from 1123 K to 1223 K for various durations. Initial loads of 25 MPa, 49 MPa and 74 MPa were applied to give the superplastic deformation effect on the carburized specimens. Metallographic studies revealed a thick, uniform, smooth and dense morphology of hard carbon layer formed at the surface of fine grain DSS. The resulting case depth of carbon layers were between 15 μm to 76 μm. A remarkable increase in surface hardness was observed in the range of 600 HV to 1600 HV. The kinetics of this process in terms of carbon diffusion and its variation with processing time and temperature was achieved using Arrhenius equation. Activation energy (Q) was determined as 151.87 kJ/mol. Based on the results obtained, SPC process can significantly enhance the surface properties of DSS.

Boronizing is a method to increase the surface hardness of engineering components [1]. This is beneficial especially when the components are always in surface contact with other materials. In this study, boronizing treatment was successfully done on duplex stainless steel (DSS). Two types of DSS with different microstructure were boronized – the as-received DSS and the fine grain DSS. The morphology of boride layer formed on boronized DSS is compact and smooth. The boride layer thickness for both DSS ranged from 9 to 32 +m. Depending on boronizing time and temperature, the hardness of boronized fine grain DSS is between 1014 HV to 2601 HV. The values are higher than that of the as-received DSS which is between 797 HV to 2311 HV. The result shows that there is a different in hardness of boride layer for two different grain sizes of DSS although the layer thickness formed is about the same in depth.

In this research, conventional boronizing process (CB) and a new method of boronizing process under compression load condition (LB) were conducted and compared in order to study the effect of superplasticity on boronized substrate. Both processes were conducted on duplex stainless steel (DSS) with two different microstructures; as-received DSS with coarse grain microstructure (CDSS); and thermo-mechanically treated DSS with fine grain microstructure (FDSS) which can show superplastic behavior at high temperatures. Both processes were conducted at duration of 6 hours and temperatures between 1123 and 1223 K. All of boronized specimens demonstrated thin, smooth and compact morphology of boride layer. For CDSS, both CB and LB processes produced about similar surface hardness values within the range of 1425 – 2330 HV. For FDSS, CB process produced surface hardness between 1522 and 2601 HV, while under LB, the highest surface hardness values in the range of 1659 - 2914 HV were obtained. The result shows that introduction of load during boronizing has initiated superplastic deformation on FDSS thus accelerated diffusion of boron atoms into surface which finally lead to significantly higher surface hardness.

2D and especially 3D symmetry information required to determine the crystal structure of four intermetallic phases present as small particles (average size in the range 100-500nm) in a Fe.22Cr.5Ni.3Mo.0.03C duplex stainless steel is not present in most Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBED) patterns. Nevertheless it is possible to deduce many crystal features and to identify unambiguously these four phases by means of microdiffraction patterns obtained with a nearly parallel beam focused on a very small area (50-100nm).From examinations of the whole pattern reduced (RS) and full (FS) symmetries the 7 crystal systems and the 11 Laue classes are distinguished without ambiguity (1). By considering the shifts and the periodicity differences between the ZOLZ and FOLZ reflection nets on specific Zone Axis Patterns (ZAP) which depend on the crystal system, the centering type of the cell and the glide planes are simultaneously identified (2). This identification is easily done by comparisons with the corresponding simulated diffraction patterns.
