Abstract
A duplex stainless steel with good low-temperature toughness is provided. The duplex stainless steel has a chemical composition of, in mass %: up to 0.03% C; 0.1 to 0.8% Si; up to 2.3% Mn; up to 0.040% P; up to 0.010% S; up to 0.040% sol. Al; 3 to 7% Ni; 20 to 28% Cr; 0.5 to 2.0% Mo; more than 2.0% and not more than 4.0% Cu; 0.02 to 0.5% Co; 0.1 to 0.35% N; up to 0.010% O; and other elements, the steel having a microstructure including an austenite phase and a ferrite phase, the ferrite phase having an area percentage of 30 to 60%, the steel satisfying the following Formula, (1);0.70×Ni≤Ni  (1),where Niand Niare obtained by using an electron-beam microanalyzer to measure Ni content and, in a distribution of Ni content, determining two maximum frequencies, and treating the one with a higher Ni content as Niand treating the one with a lower Ni content as Ni.
