The first part of the article describes metallurgy of duplex steels and the influence of nitrogen on their solidification. The second part focuses on weldability of duplex steels with using electron beam aimed on acceptable structure and corrosion resistance performed by multiple runs of defocused beam over the penetration weld. %K duplex stainless steel %K electron beam welding %K heat treatment %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/n422144315286040/?p=af9fc02909064e259aae1101a7e9034e&pi=8
