LOW-ALLOY DUPLEX STAINLESS STEEL WHEREIN WELD HEAT-AFFECTED ZONES HAVE GOOD CORROSION RESISTANCE AND TOUGHNESS

摘要

The present invention provides a lean duplex stainless steel able to suppress the drop in corrosion resistance and toughness of a weld heat affected zone and is characterized by containing, by mass%,
