By using Ar/He based shielding gas mixtures with a variety of oxygen and nitrogen additions the absorption of active gas components into duplex stainless steels welded under hyperbaric conditions was examined. The pressure levels used corresponded to seawater depths of 100m, 200m and 300m. The GMAW process in the short circuit transfer mode was used for all tests. Both bead-on-plate and ``V`` butt joints were carried out. The effect of variations in the weld metal active gas components on the weld metal chemical composition and phase balance was investigated. In a second set of tests the effect of varying heat inputs on the phase balance and microstructure was assessed.
