- This study aimed to investigate the degree of low-temperature phase separations and 475 °C -embrittlement in physically simulated multipass super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) welds. A single bead weld was produced using gas metal arc welding and multiple thermal cycles with different peak temperatures were applied using a Gleeble physical simulator with fixed and moving jaws to simulate the influence of constrained designs, to mimic the welding of thick SDSS components. The samples were studied using atom probe tomography and the results were correlated with toughness and ferrite microhardness. The results showed that the microhardness of the ferrite in the constrained simulated multipass reheated weld increased from 304 HV to 374 HV after 5 min aging at 475 °C. The amplitude of the Cr concentration of the same sample, showing the level of Fe-Cr phase separation, increased from 1.025 to 1.045 after 5 min aging at 475 °C. Despite the clear development of phase separation in the ferrite, the toughness did not drop. It can be concluded that reheated SDSS welds are not susceptible to 475 °C -embrittlement during short fabrication times of up to 5 min for the austenite level of 50%.

- Microstructure and properties of as-built laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) steels differ from the conventional ones, and they may contain some porosity and lack of fusion. Therefore, post-treatments, including hot isostatic pressing (HIP), are used to density the material, and tailor the properties of the final product. Usually, HIP is performed as an operation separate from heat treatment. In the present investigation a new approach was used, in which the whole cycle of the heat treatment was carried out in HIP under pressure, and the influence of HIP on microstructure of an advanced stainless maraging tool steel manufactured by LPBF was investigated. For a comparison, a conventional steel grade of the same chemical composition, after a heat treatment at the same temperature-time conditions, was also characterized. The microstructure of the steel was investigated by means of advanced microscopy and atom probe tomography. The influence of the manufacturing route, heat treatment and HIP on microstructure, austenitic phase fraction and size distribution of precipitates was investigated, and the role of high pressure in stabilization of austenite in the microstructure was discussed. It was concluded that since HIP influences phase transformations, a fundamental understanding of the influence of HIP on microstructure is nececcary, and development of new post processing regimes guaranteeing the best performance of the material is required.
