Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum pipe technology, and specifically relates to a large-diameter high-frequency welded pipe with medium Cr alloy and its processing method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, high-frequency welding of stainless steel is mainly used to produce thin-walled stainless steel straight seam welded pipes. Due to weld quality issues, its primary applications are decorative pipe fittings and non-pressure or low-pressure pipelines. High-frequency welding processes and technologies for thick-walled and pressure-bearing alloy pipes are still under continuous research. In recent years, studies have found that adding a small amount of Cr to steel can reduce its corrosion rate. The corrosion rate of 3% Cr steel is more than twice that of ordinary carbon steel. When the Cr content in steel gradually increases to 10%, the resistance to CO2 corrosion is significantly enhanced, and it can effectively inhibit the occurrence of localized corrosion. 13Cr, super 13Cr, duplex stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys are widely used in CO2 and CO2 / H2S corrosion control. However, the initial investment for using alloy steels with more than 13% Cr or nickel-based alloys is too high, resulting in low economic efficiency and a low investment ratio for use in low-yield oil and gas fields. In the oil and gas extraction and chemical industries, the development of 1-10% Cr alloy high-frequency welded pipes, which offer both corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness, can compensate for the poor corrosion resistance and high cost of carbon steel and stainless steel.
[0003] Because high-alloy steel contains 1-10% Cr and other alloying elements, an oxide layer forms on the weld surface of the plate during high-frequency welding of ordinary large-diameter high-frequency welded pipes. During forming under the pressure of the vertical and side extrusion rollers, the generated oxides cannot be squeezed out of the weld fusion surface, remaining at the fusion line. During subsequent solidification, oxide inclusions form in the weld area, resulting in large areas of incomplete fusion, incomplete penetration, and inclusions, making it impossible to guarantee weld quality. Compared to carbon steel coils, high-alloy steel coils have higher resistivity, a larger coefficient of linear expansion, and lower thermal conductivity, requiring new forming, welding process parameters, and heat treatment processes. For small-diameter, thin-walled high-alloy steel high-frequency welded pipes with a diameter of less than 150mm and a wall thickness of less than 7mm, the welding speed can even far exceed 30m / min. This high welding speed reduces the chance of the weld reacting with oxygen in the air or water, reducing the formation of inclusions and cracks, thus improving weld quality to some extent. A very small number of companies have innovatively designed and manufactured large-scale enclosures for welding medium and high alloy high-frequency welded pipes. These enclosures enclose the vertical rollers, side extrusion rollers, welding frame, and pipe within a huge enclosure. The enclosure is filled with protective gas during welding. However, the enclosures are complex, costly, and consume a lot of gas. This method is generally limited to the production of alloy steel pipes with a diameter of less than 300mm. Due to the large size of the large-diameter welded pipe unit itself, and the compact size of the unit's resistance induction system, internal and external burr removal, and heat treatment devices, it is currently impossible to effectively achieve protective welding of larger diameter alloy pipes.
[0004] The publication number CN104999277 A, published in 2015, is titled "Production Method of Corrosion-resistant and Wear-resistant Stainless Steel High-frequency Welded Pipe with Outer Diameter of 108~660.4mm". It only has one inner protective gas pipe and no outer protective device, which cannot effectively protect the outer weld seam of the welded pipe and the weld seam of thick-walled welded pipes, resulting in unstable weld quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] In the composition design of large-diameter Cr alloy high-frequency welded pipes: Cr is added to the steel to increase its corrosion resistance. The Cr content is closely related to the CO2 partial pressure and temperature in oil and gas transportation. Cr is the most effective element against CO2 corrosion, and it can quickly form a dense and extremely thin Cr2O3 passivation film on the metal surface. With the increase of Cr content, the CO2 corrosion resistance is significantly enhanced, and the degree of reduction in corrosion rate is greater. By further adding alloying elements such as Ni, Mo, or Cu, the critical temperature for CO2 corrosion application and the resistance to sulfide stress corrosion can be further improved. The Cr content in conventional stainless steel is at least 10.5%. As an economical large-diameter 1.0-10.0% Cr and other alloy high-frequency welded pipe, the weld mechanical properties are good.

[0040] S1: butt welding: butt joint of the head and tail of the medium Cr alloy coil plate is flush;
[0041] S2: edge planing: the width of the medium Cr alloy coil plate is planed by ±0.20 mm;

In the welding stage, the cooling device for the outer pipe is cancelled, and the hollow vertical roll and hollow side extrusion roll made of high-temperature Cr-Mo material are used to inject cooling circulating water into the hollow vertical roll and hollow side extrusion roll for cooling, so as to reduce the high heat generated by the vertical roll and side extrusion roll when extruding and transmitting the pipe, ensure that the roll and pipe are not burned, and most importantly, achieve the high-frequency welding effect of the weld joint area without water and oxygen, and ensure the high-quality welding of the weld joint under the condition of no oxygen.

[0056] The pipe outer gas protection device comprises a high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic left side block 7, a high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic middle block 8 and a high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic right side block 9 which are connected in sequence, the high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic middle block 8 is parallel to the welding seam direction of the welded pipe 1, the included angle between the high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic left side block 7 and the high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic right side block 9 is the same as the joint angle before the strip steel is welded, a plurality of outer protective gas inlets 10 are arranged on the upper part of the high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic left side block 7, the high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic middle block 8 and the high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic right side block 9, respectively, a plurality of outer protective gas outlets 11 are arranged on the lower part of the high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic left side block 7, the high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic middle block 8 and the high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic right side block 9, respectively, the outer protective gas outlets 11 have a hole diameter ranging from 2 to 3 mm, the "Y" type high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic box body is fixed on the outer welding seam of the welded pipe 1 by a support, the protective gas outlet 11 in the middle of the non-magnetic box body is aligned with the occlusion point of the welding seam, the bottom of the non-magnetic box body is 20-50 mm away from the welding seam of the welded pipe, the material of the high-temperature-resistant gas hole pipe 2 is 99 corundum, and the material of the "Y" type high-temperature-resistant non-magnetic box body is 6061 aluminum alloy.

[0058] S41: placing the inner gas protection device in the welding area of the welded pipe 1 and placing the outer gas protection device above the welding area of the welded pipe 1;

[0068]
[0069] (2) Welded pipe manufacturing: L485 steel grade medium Cr alloy plate coil was used to produce high frequency welded steel pipe with outer diameter of Φ406.4 mm and wall thickness of 11 mm.

Then, the weld of the welded pipe was on-line normalized at 910℃, and the water cooling start temperature was controlled at 380℃. After welding, the welded pipe was cut into pipe sections with a length of about 12 m. The full pipe body of the high frequency welded pipe was treated by induction heating for aging heat treatment, heated at 525℃, and air cooled after aging treatment for 30 min. Under the condition of ensuring the weld toughness, the pipe yield ratio was adjusted.
