Duplex stainless alloys are extremely sensitive to cutting speed for strain hardening during machining. Tool wear for these materials is dominated by the adhesion wear because of formation of built-up edge (BUE) that upsurges the flank wear considerably. In addition, flute damage is a significant problem during drilling of those alloys. To address this issue, this paper investigates the mechanism of BUE creation in stagnation region of duplex SAF 2205 alloys during material removal by turning process. The investigation of chip root through SEM and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) revealed build-up of ferritic bands at the stagnation zone. Higher capacity of austenite phase to deform plastically is accountable for the ferrite build-up. This was detected as a possible activating mechanism of built-up edge. The flow pattern of austenite phase designates faster deforming compare to that of ferrite phases.
