Abstract: The thin foil specimen of a ferrite-austenite duplex stainless steel was tensiled under transmis- sion electron microscope(TEM).It was found that both in ferrite and austenite the local deformation band at crack tip was formed near to the crack propagating direction.Its forma- tion was related with the crack tip Schmid factor,dislocation shielding,latent hardening and hardening coefficient.When the crack tip emitted dislocations to a slip system by the action of pure mode Ⅱ stress resolute,and the decreasing rate of hardening coefficient was suitable,lo- cal deformation band was easy to form.

Key words: crack tip, local deformation band, dislocation shielding
