Abstract: duplex stainless steels are used in many industrial applications due to their combination of mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion. The hot deformation of these two-phase materials is still a critical issue due to the different mechanical responses of austenite and ferrite, which often lead to the appearance of imperfections. In this paper, the duplex stainless-steel DIN W. Nr. 1.4462 has been subjected to hot torsion tests with deformation rates of 0.3 sˉ1, 0.5 sˉ1, and 1 sˉ1 at temperatures of 1000 °C and 1150 °C. The microstructural changes produced as a consequence of the different test conditions were analyzed by optical microscopy. The characteristics of the plastic flow curves have been interpreted in terms of the localized flow parameters as a mechanism for accommodating deformation during the hot torsion. As a result, two types of microstructures have been obtained in which austenite particles appear by percolating the ferrite matrix in the case of cold rolled steel and disperse in the case of heat-treated steel at 1250 °C for 1 h. Each of these types of microstructure presented characteristic plastic flow curves and microstructural behavior in which it was evidenced the occurrence of the phenomenon of localized plastic flow in both cases, only for the deformation rates below 1 sˉ1.
