Problems solved by technology

As a result, there is a possibility of a reduction in the lubricating properties of the coating due to the reaction of water with the solid lubricant, or especially when the coating contains copper, there is a possibility that the surface appearance deteriorates
[0018] These problems caused by anti-rust oil or water arise from the fact that the outermost porous solid lubricating coating is not effectively protected
Anti-corrosion coatings formed under the solid lubricating coatings used to protect the steel pipe itself as disclosed in WO 2004 / 033951 do not solve these problems

Embodiment 1

[0112] The surface of the male thread and the surface of the female thread of the carbon steel threaded joint having the composition A shown in Table 1 were respectively subjected to the following surface treatments.

[0113] The surface of the female thread polished by mechanical grinding (surface roughness of 3 μm) was dipped in a manganese phosphate treatment solution (manganese phosphate type phosphate treatment solution) at 80-95°C for 10 minutes for pre-surface treatment to form an initial coating layer, the initial coating is a manganese phosphate coating with a thickness of 15 μm. On this primary coating layer, a solid lubricating coating layer having a thickness of 30 μm was formed from an epoxy resin containing graphite powder having an average particle diameter of 10 μm and copper flake powder having a maximum length of 15 μm. In the solid lubricating coating, the mass ratio of graphite to epoxy resin (M in Table 2) was 0.6:1, and the mass ratio of copper powder to ...

Embodiment 2

[0117]In exactly the same manner as described in Example 1, the surfaces of the male and female threads of the carbon steel threaded joints having the composition A shown in Table 1 were respectively surface treated.

[0118] Thus, the female thread surface has an innermost coating of manganese phosphate, an intermediate solid lubricating coating of graphite and copper powder contained in epoxy resin, and an outermost solid anti-corrosion coating of epoxy resin. The male thread surface has a zinc phosphate coating underneath and a solid anti-corrosion coating of epoxy resin above.

[0119] The surface of the female thread is exposed to the salt spray test. By observing the surface of the female thread after 100 hours of salt spray test, it was found that there was no change in the surface appearance. In the fastening and loosening test, as shown in Table 3, no galling and abrasion occurred during 10 cycles of fastening and loosening, and the results were excellent.

Embodiment 3

[0121] The surface of the male thread and the surface of the female thread of the threaded joint manufactured from the Cr-Mo steel having the composition B in Table 1 were respectively subjected to the following surface treatments.

[0122] The surface of the female thread polished by mechanical grinding (surface roughness of 3 μm) was subjected to pickling for pre-surface treatment to obtain a surface roughness of 10 μm. On the surface of the female thread that had been treated in this way, a solid lubricating coating having a thickness of 30 μm was formed from an epoxy resin containing molybdenum disulfide powder having an average particle diameter of 5 μm. In the solid lubricating coating, the mass ratio M of molybdenum disulfide to epoxy resin is 0.7:1. On this solid lubricating coating, a solid anticorrosion coating formed of epoxy resin alone was formed to a thickness of 20 μm.

[0123] The surface of the male thread polished by mechanical grinding (surface roughness of...

Abstract

A threaded joint for steel pipes comprises a pin (1) and a box (2) each having a threaded portion (3a or 3b) and an unthreaded metal-to-metal contact portion (4a or 4b) as contact surfaces which contact each other when the joint is fastened. The contact surfaces (3a and 4a and / or 3b and 4b) of at least one of the pin (1) and the box (2) are coated with a lower layer of a solid lubricating coatingcontaining a solid lubricating powder (e.g., molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide, or graphite) and a binder (e.g., an epoxy or other organic resin) and an upper layer of a solid corrosion protective coating formed by an organic resin which does not contain solid particles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a threaded joint for steel pipes that can exhibit excellent wear resistance without clearly applying compound grease that has been applied to the threaded joint when connecting OCTG (Tube for Oil Industry). The threaded joint for steel pipes according to the present invention can avoid harmful effects on the global environment and human beings due to complex grease. Background technique [0002] OCTG used in gas and oil well production, such as pipes and casings, are usually connected to each other by threaded joints. In the past, the depth of oil wells was generally 2,000-3,000 meters, but in deep oil wells such as recent offshore oil fields, the depth of oil wells reached 8,000-10,000 meters. In the applied environment, the threaded joints used to connect such OCTG are subjected to different forces, such as axial tension caused by the weight of the OCTG and the threaded joint itself, a combination of internal and ext...
