Pitting corrosion resistance with shielded metal arc welding and post weld heat treatment on duplex stainless steel weld overlay

Duplex stainless steels (DSSs) are widely used in the marine environment, petro-chemical refineries, oil and gas industries because of their high corrosion resistance properties and balanced ratio of austenite and delta-ferrite phases. The objectives of this research are to an...
