The interface character distributions (ICDs) of cold-rolled and annealed duplex stainless steel specimens, previously solid-solution-heated (SHT) at 1573 K and 1323 K, are investigated using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and five-parameter analysis (FPA). For the δ-ferrite phase, high concentrations of low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) are developed, and the boundary planes are predominantly oriented on (111). High angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) with misorientations ranging from 50{sup o} to 60° are mostly pure tilt boundaries, and the boundary planes are primarily located on (112). For the austenite phase, very high density of coherent twin boundaries are introduced, implying that the boundary planes are exactly oriented on (111). The phase boundary character distribution (PBPD) appears to be connected with the K-S and N-W orientation relationships (ORs) terminating on (110) {sub F}‖(111) {sub A} and (110){sub F}‖(hkl){sub A}, respectively. - Highlights: •Five-parameter analysis was used to determine interface character distribution. •ICD results of statistical meaning were achieved. •Initial microstructure has a significant effect on ICD. •Low and high angle GBs in δ phase prefer in (111) and (112) planes, respectively. •K-S phase boundaries terminate on (110){sub F}‖(111){sub A} while N-W ones on (110){sub F}‖(hkl){sub A}.
