Study of Environmentally Assisted Cracking of Duplex Stainless Steels as a Result of the Presence of Sigma Phase

Abstract Offshore operations worldwide recently reported the presence of improperly heat-treated 2205 (UNS S32205) and 2507 (UNS S32750) duplex stainless steel (SS) pipe fittings with varying volum...
