Duplex stainless steels are being increasingly used in applications that require a greater corrosion resistance than traditional stainless steels. Its applications in both, outdoor or submerged structures, motivate the studies on its performance in various situations, as in the case of exposure to erosive wear. This work studies the effects of erosion by impact of solid particles on surfaces of samples of duplex stainless steel UNS S32205, from the point of view of both aspects, morphological and topographycal. Polished surfaces of the samples were subjected to erosive attacks by alumina particles in air flux, with different exposure times. These were examined by scanning electron microscopy, looking at the forms of wear obtained and the surface s roughnesses were measured, aiming to follow the evolution of the erosive process. It was made a more detailed examination of craters, for comparison with the proposed mechanisms in models described in the literature and with the results of simulations by the finite elements method. In this aspect the method proved to be as effective as the traditional methods of ballistic studies using single particles, as well as to be more comprehensive and economic. The measures of surface roughness and the statistics from the derived data signaled the possibility of use of this tool to evaluate the beginning of the effective loss of mass, which characterizes the erosion.
