2.3 Cogne grade 329HT
Cogne grade 329HT (steel grade: 1.4462) is a type of duplex stainless steel. It contain higher content in molybdenum than other steel. The advantages of 1.4462 is high yield and tensile stress. It is able to endure corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. The cost is also higher than other as grade1.4436 and 1.4301.
Due to its outstanding properties, it is always used in many construction and industrial aspects that location in seawater. For example, the offshore drilling in petroleum engineering.

Then, the materials cool down slowly. Through this process, the dislocations of the structure reduce. The strength of materials drop and raise the toughness flexibility and ductility. Also, the nucleation and growth will occurs in annealing.
(b) Quenching
Quenching is a heat treatment method in steel that heat the material in a high temperature and then cool down in a short time. The material will become much softer and readily for further treatment. Quenching process usually is divided in two ways: water quench and oil quench.
(c) Tempering
After quenching, the heated steel will cool down. Due to the different rate of cooling, the different types of microstructure will be formed. The formation of pearlite, bainite and martensite determine the physical properties such as hardness, strength and ductility.
(d) Precipitation
