Abstract: Optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to study the oxide layer microstructure of the 2205 duplex stainless steel hot-rolled sheet after annealing and shot peening treatment, and to analyze the microstructure of the surface passive film after pickling with hydrochloric acid and mixed acid (HNO3+HF). The corrosion resistance of the steel after pickling was analyzed by using electrochemical testing methods. Further, an evolution model of oxide layer removal during shot peening and pickling of the hot rolled 2205 duplex steel sheet after annealing was proposed. The results show that the shot peening treatment has significant effect on the removal of Fe-rich oxide in the 2205 duplex steel surface layer, but the dense Cr-rich oxide layer within the inner layer cannot be removed. Hydrochloric acid pre-pickling can further remove the dense oxide layer from outside to inside after shot peening, and the final pickling with nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid can remove the Cr-poor layer produced by annealing, so that a Cr2O3-rich passive film is formed on the steel surface. The 2205 duplex steel after mixed acid pickling shows higher self-corrosion potential and larger arc resistance radius than that of hydrochloric acid pre-acid pickling, indicating that mixed acid pickling is beneficial to improve the corrosion resistance of 2205 duplex stainless steel.
