Conclusions The foregoing are my very personal views about landmark events in the history of welding stainless steels. The list is certainly not all-inclusive – others can offer their own views. This is the microstructure of wrought duplex stainless steel. The austenite (?) appears white, and the ferrite (?) appears gray. Hot rolling caused the banded structure. It is impossible to pass a crack through this structure without the crack having to enter both austenite and ferrite. Welding with matching filler metal tends to make the weld (and the HAZ) revert back towards their 100% ferrite s
