The corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of thirteen experimental cast duplex stainless steels were evaluated. These 24 pct Cr steels contain 4.5 to 7.5 pct Mo, 7 to 17 pct Ni and 0.2 to 0.4 pct N. The 24Cr-6Mo-9.5Ni-0.25N steel had the best combination of corrosion and mechanical properties. This steel had a critical crevice temperature of 47.5 /sup 0/C (117 /sup 0/F) in 10 pct FeCl/sub 3/ X 6H/sub 2/O solution compared to 12.5 /sup 0/C (55 /sup 0/F) for cast Ferralium alloy 255 and -2.5 /sup 0/C (28 /sup 0/F) for CF-8M. An improvement of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties was observed when the annealing temperature was increased from 1100 /sup 0/C (2010 /sup 0/F) to 1200 /sup 0/C (2190 /sup 0/F). Silicon was found to enhance sigma phase precipitation. Reducing the silicon content to 0.1 pct prevented sigma formation in slowly cooled duplex stainless steels containing 5 pct molybdenum.
