High-boron (2 wt.%) duplex stainless steel 0Cr21Ni5Ti-2B is developed and produced. The phase composition of the steel, the morphology and the distribution of borides in different conditions are determined, i.e., after casting, after solution treatment, after hot rolling, and after hot rolling and subsequent solution treatment. The influence of the phase composition and of the characteristics of the borides on the mechanical properties of the steel is studied.
