Duplex Steels Used in Building Structures and Their Resistance to Chloride Corrosion.
Welded structures made of duplex steels are used in building applications due to their resistance to local corrosion attack initiated by chlorides. In this paper, the material and technological factors determining the corrosion resistance are discussed in detail. Furthermore, recommendations are formulated that allow, in the opinion of the authors, to obtain a maximum corrosion resistance for welded joints. The practical aspects of corrosion resistance testing are also discussed, based on the results of qualification tests. This work is of a review character. The conclusions and practical recommendations are intended for contractors and investors of various types of structures made of the duplex steel. The recommendations concern the selection and use of duplex steels, including the issues of metallurgy, welding techniques, and corrosion protection.
