Super Duplex stainless steels (SDSS) are alloys based on the Fe-Cr-Ni-N system. The chemical composition is tailored to achieve a balanced microstructure of 50% ferrite and 50% austenite. Hyper Duplex Stainless Steels (HDSS) are also duplex materials distinguished by their remarkable yield strength (≥700 MPa) and corrosion resistance (PREN>48). They have been developed as an alternative to the well-established SDSS when superior mechanical and corrosion performance is required. This enhanced performance is attributed to alloying additions, primarily Cr, Mo, and N. In this study, a comparison is conducted between filler metals of SDSS and HDSS for the root welding of SDSS plates. The gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process was used to carry out root welding passes and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) for filling passes on SDSS substrates arranged in a V groove to simulate a repair scenario. The heat input was controlled in both processes, keeping it below 2.0 kJ/mm in the GTAW and 1.2 kJ/mm in the GMAW. GTAW with constant current was used and the parameters achieved producing full penetration welds with SDSS and HDSS. In this case, Nitrogen was used as backing gas to avoid oxidation of the root. Thus, a special GMAW-Pulsed version was applied to achieve good wettability and defect-free joints. ASTM G48 tests were performed to evaluate the corrosion resistance through Critical Pitting Testing (CPT) analysis on the root pass, microstructural analysis via optical microscopy, and impact toughness. Consequently, a comprehensive examination of the welded joints outlines manufacturing conditions, limitations, and the applications of SDSS and HDSS filler metals.
