Metallurgical investigations were carried out on a welded sample of 25% Cr super duplex stainless steel (UNS S32750) taken from a vessel that had been accidentally operated above 300-350°C (570-660°F) for at least six months, which had resulted in brittle fracture. As a result of microstructure observations, no abnormalities were found in the ferrite/austenite balance and no intermetallic phases were observed in the sample, while Charpy impact tests at room temperature revealed quite a low absorbed energy in both, the base metal and the weld metal. These results indicated the occurrence of 475°C (885°F) embrittlement in the steel. De-embrittlement heat treatment trials were also performed to find out the effective temperature range. The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the risk of in-service embrittlement of duplex stainless steels, highlighting the difference in susceptibility to 475°C (885°F) embrittlement of the base metal and the weld metal.

Key words: 25% Cr super duplex stainless steels, 475°C (885°F) embrittlement, de-embrittlement heat treatment
