Duplex stainless steels show good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance. These qualities are increasing their use in aggressive environments. Thus, these characteristics make them very used in chemical and petrochemical, mainly. Generally, the manufacture and repair of any industrial equipment involve welding operations, even though it is very important to evaluate the influence of multipass welding parameters in phase balances, microstructure and microhardness. Firstly, the shielded metal arc welding in steel ASTN A516 Gr. 60 with electrode AWS 2209-17 had been carried through with many energies, varying welding speed and current. Microstructural characterization by optic microscopy, quantification of ferrite content using ferritscope and microhardness test has being performed to evaluate the weld metal. After that, the best conditions of the last stage for welding of duplex stainless steel UNS S31803 had been chosen to evaluate the effect of the welding energy in phase balances, microstructure, and microhardness in the weld metal and HAZ. In the last stage, the weldings in joint of duplex steel had been carried through, in order to evaluate the effect of the welding energy and restriction of joint in phase balances, microstructure, microhardness and toughness of the weld metal and HAZ. The influence of the welding energy in the ferrite content was checked, although the behavior was different according to variation of the welding parameters. The basic microstructures of formed austenitic were allotriomoph, Widmanstätten and intragranular. Regions with pass overlapping presented greater amount of austenite in the weld metal and microstructure more refined in the HAZ. It was observed that increasing welding speed, greater is the amount of Widmanstätten austenite. In general, the increase of the amount of Widmanstätten austenite decreases level of microhardness in the weld metal. The restriction of the welded joint influenced in phase balances and toughness of the HAZ. There was not effect of the welding energy on toughness of the weld metal and this region occurred higher levels in relation to material as received
