Cast duplex stainless steels of CR8M and CF8 are used in major components because of their superior characteristics, such as corrosion resistance, weldability and so on. But, these stainless steels are known to have tendency of thermal aging embrittlement after long term service. Therefore, mechanical properties have been investigated using Charpy impact specimens and fracture toughness specimens aged at 300{approximately}400 C up to 40,000 hours. As the results, effects of thermal aging on mechanical properties of these stainless steels were identified and a good relationship between Charpy impact energy and fracture toughness was obtained. In addition, prediction method for Charpy absorbed energy and fracture toughness was established.
