The effect of rare earth metals on modifying inclusions of 2205 duplex stainless steel was studied by metallographic examination, SEM and electron spectroscopy. Thermodynamic calculation was used to analyze the formation of RE inclusions in 2205 duplex stainless steel. According to the composition of 2205 duplex stainless steel liquid and thermodynamic data, it may calculate and predict the kinds of RE inclusions. And the result shows that aluminosilicate complex inclusion and sulfide inclusion can be entirely replaced by RE2O2S and RES that are spherical.

The effects of rare earth metals on the inclusions and the mechanical properties of 2205 duplex stainless steel were studied by metallographic examination, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis. The results show that the morphologies and sizes of non-metallic inclusions in 2205 duplex stainless steel are changed, and rare earth metals played a very good role of modifying inclusions. The fracture mode of 2205 duplex stainless steel is typical cleavage fracture, but quasi-cleavage and dimple fracture after adding RE into the steel, and the spherical inclusions of rare earth oxysulfide in the dimple are the main factors for this transformation. The transverse impact toughness of 2205 duplex stainless steel is improved obviously by RE. In comparison with 2205 duplex stainless steel without RE, the transverse impact toughness of 2205 duplex stainless steel with RE is increased 20.49% at -40°C, and the room temperature strength are improved, the elongation and reduction of area have been improved 11.67%, 24.55% respectively.

The effect of rare earth element on structure and mechanical properties of 2205 duplex stainless steel were studied by metallographic examination, scanning electron microscope (SEM), tensile test and impact test. The results show that the proper amount of rare earth can refine microstructure of 2205 duplex stainless steel. Fracture is changed from cleavage to ductile fracture by adding RE to 2205 duplex stainless steel. 2205 duplex stainless steel containing 0.05% RE can improve its impact toughness, and the transverse impact toughness is increased 15.56% at -20°C respectively comparing with that of 2205 duplex stainless steel without RE.

The effect of rare earth metals on inclusions and impact toughness of 2205 duplex stainless steel were studied by SEM and electron spectroscopy. Thermodynamic calculation was used to analyze the formation of RE inclusions in 2205 duplex stainless steel. The result shows that aluminosilicate compound inclusion and sulfide inclusion can be entirely replaced by RE2O2S and RES. Fracture is changed from cleavage to ductile fracture by adding RE to the 2205 duplex stainless steel, and the spherical rare earth oxysulfide inclusions-RE2O2S in the dimple are the main factors. The transverse impact value of 2205 duplex stainless stainless steel has been improved obviously by RE. The transverse impact value of RE-2205 is increased 20.49% at the temperature of -40°C, comparing with 0RE-2205.
