As duplex stainless steel consists of austenite and ferrite, when it is cold deformed austenite transforms into martensite.

Martensite formed from austenite has BCT crystal structure while ferrite has BCC crystal structure.

Both this BCT and BCC give same reflections in xrd as BCT structure is very similar to BCC due to low carbon in alloy.
