Important Factors in Welding of Super Duplex Stainless Steel ZERON 100 / UNS S32760 Using the GTAW Welding Process

This is a Member only event, specifically for members of the Sheffield and East Midlands branches. Other members may be able to attend should spaces become available.

Overview: These steels are commonly used in arduous applications requiring a combination of high strength, toughness and corrosion resistance.

The presentation highlights the metallurgical response of these steels to variations in welding parameters, gasses and welding techniques. In particular, the effect they have on the microstructure of the root run and the low temperature HAZ of the joint with respect to optimisation of its corrosion resistance.

Rolled Alloys are a specialist metal stock holder, processor and pipework system packager, dealing internationally in the supply of aerospace, heat and corrosion resistant stainless steels and Nickel alloys to a wide range of industrial users. Glenn is a physical metallurgist with a strong interest the relationship between method of manufacture, microstructure, properties and application of steels, how they work, why they fail and how they can be improved. 

Speaker Glenn Byrne FIMMM, MWeldI, C.Eng, PhD, BMet (Director of Projects and Technology, University of Sheffield)

Speaker Biography Glen was educated at the University of Sheffield and worked initially at the Corrosion and Protection Centre for Industrial Services (CAPCIS) at UMIST and then for Weir Materials and Foundries which became Rolled Alloys in 2008. He has worked in multiple markets and industries around the world, on application development and sales of duplex and super duplex stainless steel in all product forms.
