Tóm tắt

Duplex structural stainless steels (DP) are highly corrosion-resistant with austenite (γ)-ferrite (δ) compositions and processing routes. These DP steels are used in chemical, petrochemical, marine, power generation, and nuclear industries due to their unique properties. Experimental data of 2D slices obtained from optical micrography were used in a multilevel finite element analysis to investigate the interface stresses between the two phases of DP material. Level #1 (macro-level) finite element analysis involves homogenizing the 2D slices based on their representative constituent properties to identify high-stress regions. Level #2 (micro-level) finite element analysis was conducted with representative austenite/ferrite microstructure identified from level #1 analysis. The results from finite element simulations from both macro- and micro-levels revealed that interface stresses are affected by the phase’s microstructure distributions. Micro-level analysis revealed maximum interface stress is much higher than macro-level analysis. It was also found that stress localization occurred at the ferrite/austenite interfaces based on their distributions.
