Talk:475 °C embrittlement

Article has major flaw
The article clearly makes it seem like 475 C embrittlement is a problem only in duplex stainless steels - 475 c embrittlement can occur in any stainless containing ferrite. It is as big a problem, if not bigger in ferritic stainless steels where it often limits their applications. It can even be a problem in austenitic stainlesses where weld regions often contain delta ferrite.

Due to the article's focus on duplex steels - it will not be a trivial rewrite to get the overall flow corrected. 204.88.187.11 (talk) 13:48, 30 May 2023 (UTC)


 * But are these just “variants” of the same phenomenon which can be easily added in a section called that, which can discuss how these variants are different or similar in terms what is causing the embrittlement. Or these are completely different?
 * help me with references and I can surely add your point FuzzyMagma (talk) 14:58, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Good idea - I just think it should not have quite so much emphasis on duplex as it is a generalized behavior whenever there is ferrite with a high chrome level.
 * ASM handbooks cover the phenomenon well - I will try t put some links together 204.88.187.11 (talk) 15:21, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
