Abstract: The effect of high temperature solution heat treatment on the microstructure and ten-sile property of as-cast 0Cr17Mn14Mo2N duplex stainless steel was investigated.Itwas found that the morphology ofδ-ferrite in the dual phases microstructures changedgradually from dendritic to lamellar and then to spheroidal,and its distribution be-came more uniform under appropriate treatment.When the treat temperature waslower than 1250C,the spheroidial ratio and the homogeneous distribution o fδ-ferriteincrease with increasing temperature,which corresponds to a better tensile property.In addition,when the treat temperature reached 1250~C and above,the microstructureconsists of coarse equiaxial δ-ferrite grains with the needle austenite at its boundaries,which results in a decrease of the tensile properties of the steel.

Key words: duplex stainless steel, microstructure, tensile property
