The microstructure of duplex stainless steels is formed by dendrite growth in the primary ferrite-phase and by subsequent solid-state transformation to the secondary austenite-phase. In this study, formation of austenite by solid-state transformation in duplex stainless steels was evaluated. The nucleation and initial growth of austenite was simulated by the software TC-PRISMA. The formation temperatures of austenite in previous works were corresponding to the calculation obtained by adjusting the interfacial energy. Moreover, the microstructure formation process both in grain boundary and intragranular was simulated using a multi-phase field method (MICRESS software). The growth of austenite was assumed to be under paraequilibrium considering the diffusion control of nitrogen and its morphology was assumed to be an acicular growth. The microstructure morphologies were relatively similar to those obtained by the experiments. The simulation method in this study can analyse complex microstructural morphology as well as predict the composition distributions. This method is considered to be highly effective in designing duplex stainless steels and in evaluating the microstructure morphology in welding process.
