Abstract
In this paper, the effect of brief aging within the 650-850 °C temperature range on the resistance of lean duplex stainless steel (LDSS) 2101 to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) was discussed. The thermal aging induced a decrease in Vickers microhardness and an increase in alloy ductility. This behaviour was connected to depletion of interstitial nitrogen in austenite. LDSS 2101 was found to suffer SCC in NACE TM-0177 solution, particularly under specific thermal aging and in the presence of thiosulphate ions (S2O32â) at 10â4 and 10â3 M. Crack nucleation and propagation were linked to microstructural variations connected to thermal aging.
