The addition of nitrogen to duplex stainless steel weld metal has been achieved and the resultant weld metals have been assessed for their microstructural features and corrosion behaviour. It was found that, although autogenous welding of duplex stainless steels is not recommended, the addition of nitrogen through the shielding gas mixture can help to obtain quality welds with the desired phase balance and corrosion resistance.
