Abstract: Duplex stainless steels offer an attractive combination of strength, corrosion resistance and cost. In annealed condition duplex steels will be in thermodynamically metastable condition but when they are subjected to intermediate homologous temperature of ~475. C and below significant embrittlement occurs, which is one of the key material degradation properties that limits its upper service temperature in many applications. Hence the present study is aimed to study the effect of reversion heat treatment and its time on mechanical properties of the thermally embrittled steel. The results showed that 60. min reversion heat treated samples were able to recover the mechanical properties which were very close to annealed properties because when the embrittled samples were reversion heat treated at an elevated temperature of 550. C which is above the (?. +. ?') miscibility gap, the ferritic phase was homogenized again. In other words, Fe-rich ? and Cr-rich ?' prime precipitates which were formed during ageing become thermodynamically unstable and dissolve inside the ferritic phase. 2015 The Authors.
