  • Patent number: 11946126
    Abstract: A welded structure including a base material made of duplex stainless steel and a welded portion formed by welding the base materials to each other, wherein the base material has a predetermined chemical composition, a volume fraction of a ferrite phase in a metallographic structure of a weld metal of the welded portion is 45 to 75%, a ratio of a hardness of the weld metal to a hardness of the base material is 0.80 to 1.20, and an amount of precipitates formed in the ferrite phase of the weld metal is less than 10% in area fraction.

  • Publication number: 20240002969
    Abstract: This titanium material is a dual phase stainless steel sheet containing an austenite and a ferrite and has a predetermined chemical composition, wherein, in a center part in a sheet thickness of a cross section in a perpendicular-to-rolling direction which is a direction perpendicular to a rolling direction on a rolled surface and a direction parallel to a sheet thickness direction, an area ratio S<001>/S<111> which is a ratio of an area proportion S<001> of a texture of a ferrite with the <001> direction oriented in the perpendicular-to-rolling direction to an area proportion S<111> of a texture of a ferrite with the <111> direction oriented in the perpendicular-to-rolling direction is 0.90 to 1.10.
