[0041]Five different heats with different compositions were melted as 270 kg heats in a high frequency induction furnace and cast to ingots using a 9″ mould. Table 1 shows the compositions of the duplex stainless steels used. Both inventive and comparative examples are shown below. In Table 1, the points E1 and E2 stand for Example 1 and Example 2 of the present disclosure, while the points C1-C3 stands for the comparative examples 1-3.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the use of a solution-annealed object comprising a duplex stainless steel, having the following composition in weight % (wt %): C less than or equal to 0.03; Si less than or equal to 0.5; Mn less than or equal to 1.0; Ni 5.0 to 7.0; Cr 22.0 to 26.0; Mo 2.5 to 4.5; N 0.1 to 0.2; P less than or equal to 0.03; S less than or equal to 0.03; Cu less than or equal to 0.3; Al less than or equal to 0.10; the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities; wherein the duplex stainless steel fulfills the equation of Cr+50N≤35; and wherein the duplex stainless steel has a ferrite phase content in the range of from 40% to 60% by volume and an austenite phase content in the range of 40 to 60% by volume; in sea water applications.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates to a use of an object made of a duplex (ferritic-austenitic) stainless steel in sea water applications wherein this object has a surprisingly good resistance against hydrogen induced stress corrosion (HISC).BACKGROUND ART[0002]Cathodic protection (CP) offshore for prevention of pitting corrosion of duplex and superduplex stainless steels used for subsea components on high temperature wells has been used for more than 20 years. Cathodic protection is defined as an electrochemical protection by decreasing the corrosion potential to a level at which the corrosion rate of the metal is significantly reduced. Thus, it is a technique to reduce corrosion of a metal surface by making that surface the cathode of an electrochemical cell. Hence, the duplex stainless steel will be the cathode and another metal will be the anode (usually Zn).[0003]Even though duplex stainless steels have been a very good choice of material to use in conjunction ...
