Abstract
The invention relates to a duplex stainless steel having austenitic-ferritic microstructure of 35-65% by volume, preferably 40-60% by volume of ferrite and having good weldability, good corrosion resistance and good hot workability. The steel contains 0.005-0.04% by weight carbon, 0.2-0.7% by weight silicon, 2.5-5% by weight manganese, 23-27% by weight chromium, 2.5-5% by weight nickel, 0.5-2.5% by weight molybdenum, 0.2-0.35% by weight nitrogen, 0.1-1.0% by weight copper, optionally less than 1% by weight tungsten, less than 0.0030% by weight one or more elements of the group containing boron and calcium, less than 0.1% by weight cerium, less than 0.04% by weight aluminium, less than 0.010% by weight sulphur and the rest iron with incidental impurities.
