[0031] The duplex stainless steel welding wire according to the present disclosure comprises the following elements, and the content of each element is expressed as follows in percentage by weight:

[0032] C: 0.01-0.04%, Si: 0.5-1.5%, Mn: 0.8-3.2%, Cr: 24.0-30.0%, Ni: 8.0-13.0%, Mo: 2.0-6.0%, Cu: 1.0-2.5%, N: 0.1-0.4%, P≤0.025%, S≤0.005%, O≤0.003%, B: 0.010-0.030%, and the balance of Fe.

[0033] The role and content of each element in the duplex stainless steel welding wire are as follows:

[0034] C is an austenite forming element, higher C content will increase the strength of the duplex stainless steel, but too high C content will precipitate Cr carbide at the grain boundary of the duplex stainless steel, affecting the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel; and too low C content will reduce the content of austenite and reduce the strength of the duplex stainless steel. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel welding wire of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of C element is limited to 0.01-0.04%. Preferably, the weight percentage of C element is 0.01-0.02%.

[0035] Si is a deoxidizer that can remove a certain amount of oxygen in the duplex stainless steel to maintain the cleanliness of the duplex stainless steel. Too low Si content cannot achieve the effect of deoxidization, and too high Si content will deteriorate the plasticity of the duplex stainless steel. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel welding wire of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of Si element is limited to 0.5-1.5%. Preferably, the weight percentage of Si element is 0.5-1.0%.

[0036] Mn has a weak ability to form austenite, and in the duplex stainless steel, Mn can increase the solid solubility of nitrogen in the duplex stainless steel. Too low Mn content is not conducive to the solid solution of nitrogen, and too high Mn content will form MnS inclusions, reducing the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel wire of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of Mn element is limited to 0.8-3.2%. Preferably, the weight percentage of Mn element is 1.0-2.5%.

[0037] Cr is a ferrite-forming element and is also an essential element for the duplex stainless steel to maintain corrosion resistance. Too low Cr content cannot guarantee good corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel, and too high Cr content will lead to imbalance of the two phases of the duplex stainless steel. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel wire of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of Cr element is limited to 24.0-30.0%. Preferably, the weight percentage of Cr element is 26.0-28.0%.

[0038] Ni is an austenite-forming element, and too low Ni content will lead to instability of austenite, reducing the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel, but considering the cost, the Ni content should not be too high. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel wire of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of Ni element is limited to 8.0-13.0%. Preferably, the weight percentage of Ni element is 9.0-11.0%.

[0039] Mo element can improve the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel, especially the pitting corrosion resistance. Too low Mo content cannot guarantee excellent corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel, and too high Mo content will reduce the hot plasticity of the duplex stainless steel. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel wire of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of Mo element is limited to 2.0-6.0%. Preferably, the weight percentage of Mo element is 3.0-5.0%.

[0040] Cu is an austenite-forming element, which can improve the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel. Too low Cu content has no significant effect on improving the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel, and too high Cu content will produce a large number of precipitates, reducing the plasticity of the duplex stainless steel. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel wire of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of Cu element is limited to 1.0-2.5%. Preferably, the weight percentage of Cu element is 1.0-1.5%.

[0041] N is a strong austenite-forming element, and appropriate N can improve the strength of the duplex stainless steel while improving the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel. Too high N content will affect the hot working performance of the duplex stainless steel material, and too low N content will lead to a decrease in the proportion of austenite. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel wire of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of N element is limited to 0.1-0.4%. Preferably, the weight percentage of N element is 0.2-0.3%.

[0042] P, S, O are generally harmful elements in duplex stainless steel, excessive content will affect the corrosion resistance and plasticity of duplex stainless steel, and low content should be maintained as much as possible in actual production, but too low content will cause the rise of production cost. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel welding wire of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of P element is limited to less than or equal to 0.025%, the weight percentage of S element is limited to less than or equal to 0.005%, and the weight percentage of O element is limited to less than or equal to 0.003%.

[0043] B element can refine the grain of duplex stainless steel and improve the corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel. Too low B content cannot play the role of refining the grain, and too high B content will lead to the decrease of the plasticity of duplex stainless steel. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel welding wire of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of B element is limited to 0.010-0.030%. Preferably, the weight percentage of B element is limited to 0.010-0.020%.

[0044] Ni, C, N, Mn are all austenite forming elements, and too high or too low total content of these elements will affect the two-phase ratio of duplex stainless steel. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel welding wire of the present disclosure, the sum of the weight percentages of Ni+30(C+N)+Mn is limited to 13-29%. Preferably, the sum of the weight percentages of Ni+30(C+N)+Mn is limited to 16-22%.

[0045] Cr, Mo, Si are all ferrite forming elements, among which Cr element and Mo element can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel, and too low content of Cr element and Mo element cannot guarantee the corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel, and too high content of Cr element and Mo element will also affect the two-phase ratio of duplex stainless steel. Therefore, in the duplex stainless steel welding wire of the present disclosure, the sum of the weight percentages of Cr+3Mo+Si is limited to 31-49%. Preferably, the sum of the weight percentages of Cr+3Mo+Si is limited to 35-45%.

[0092] The continuous casting billet is cut into a square billet with a cross section of 220*220mm and a length of 1530mm. The square billet is heated at a temperature of 1260°C for 60min, and then hot-rolled into a Φ5.5mm wire rod.

[0095] The wire rod with a diameter of 2.5 mm is further refined, and the drawing process is as follows: Φ2.5 mm-Φ2.1 mm-Φ1.9 mm-Φ1.7 mm-Φ1.55 mm-Φ1.45 mm-Φ1.35 mm-Φ1.25 mm-Φ1.17 mm, so as to obtain the super duplex stainless steel welding wire with a nominal diameter of Φ1.2 mm.

[0096] In the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the specific content values of the elements C, Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Mo, Cu, N, P, S, O, B and Fe in the duplex stainless steel welding wire of the present disclosure are selected as the embodiments, and three performance parameters, i.e., tensile strength (MPa), elongation (%) and pitting corrosion rate (g / (m 2 ·h)) are selected to illustrate the beneficial effects of the duplex stainless steel welding wire of the present disclosure.

[0097] The above three parameters and their determination methods are well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore the above parameters can effectively illustrate the strength and corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel welding wire of the present disclosure.

[0098] Table 1 shows the element composition and performance test results of the duplex stainless steel welding wires of Examples 1-9 and the comparative Example 1. The content of each element is expressed by weight percentage. It should be noted that the total content of the components in the examples is slightly less than 100%, which can be understood as trace impurities or a small amount of components that cannot be analyzed.

In addition, the duplex stainless steel welding wire of the present disclosure is prepared by continuous casting, which has a short production cycle, high material yield, simple production process control and low production cost.

[0103] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, the terms "comprise", "include" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or equipment including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such a process, method, article or equipment.

[0104] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure, rather than limit them. Although the present disclosure is described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
