Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal sealing technology, specifically to a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant metal sealing ring and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Metal sealing rings are core components of oil and gas drilling tools, such as top drives and pumps. With the development of deep wells (tens of thousands of meters), metal sealing rings used in drilling tools are often subjected to high temperature, high pressure, high speed, and corrosive environments, making them prone to wear and corrosion. This leads to a rapid decrease in drilling tool efficiency and adversely affects production safety. How to implement corrosion protection for metal sealing rings under high temperature, high pressure, and high speed conditions has become an urgent problem to be solved in oil and gas drilling tools. Currently, the main way to improve the corrosion resistance of metal sealing rings is to use corrosion-resistant alloys. However, corrosion-resistant alloys are expensive, and even under high temperature, high pressure, and high speed conditions, significant wear and corrosion still occur, resulting in a relatively short service life for metal sealing rings, affecting drilling efficiency and operational safety.

[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant metal sealing ring and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant metal sealing ring and its preparation method. The aim is to address the problem of poor wear resistance and corrosion resistance in existing metal sealing rings under high-speed and corrosive environments.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant metal sealing ring includes a sealing ring substrate, wherein an interface layer and a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer are sequentially disposed on the surface of the sealing ring substrate, the interface layer being a carbon-nitrogen interface layer, and the corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer including a TiN layer and a TiON layer, wherein the TiN layer is disposed on the surface of the carbon-nitrogen interface layer, and the TiON layer is disposed on the surface of the TiN layer.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By forming a carbon-nitrogen interface layer on the surface of the metal sealing component substrate, the strength of the metal sealing component and its chemical compatibility with the corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer prepared on the subsequent surface can be improved; at the same time, the carbon-nitrogen interface layer can alleviate the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients between the metal sealing ring substrate and the corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer, while reducing interface stress and improving the bonding strength between the coating and the metal sealing ring substrate, thereby enhancing the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the metal sealing ring; by setting the TiON layer on the outer layer of the corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer, the friction coefficient of the metal sealing ring is further reduced, while its wear resistance and corrosion resistance are improved; therefore, the metal sealing ring with the above structure of this invention has the advantages of good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and long service life.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the anti-corrosion and wear-resistant layer is 5-10 μm, and the thickness of the TiON layer is 1-3 μm.

[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the carbon-nitrogen interface layer is 0.2-1 μm.

[0011] Furthermore, the material of the sealing ring substrate includes at least one of carbon steel, stainless steel, and corrosion-resistant alloy.

[0012] Secondly, the method for preparing the corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant metal sealing ring includes the following steps:

[0013] (1) The surface of the sealing ring substrate is subjected to carbon-nitrogen (CN) co-diffusion treatment to form an interface layer on the surface of the sealing ring substrate;

[0014] (2) Using isochemical vapor deposition, a TiN layer is deposited on the surface of the interface layer to form a TiN layer, which is the corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer of the precursor.

[0025] (2-4) After the TiN layer is prepared, stop the introduction of titanium tetrachloride and nitrogen gas, start the controllable cooling program to cool down, and obtain the corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer of the precursor.

[0027] Furthermore, step (3) includes the following specific steps:

[0028] (3-1) After obtaining the corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer of the precursor, argon gas is introduced at 200-400 sccm and kept at a certain temperature for a period of time; after the heat preservation process is completed, oxygen is introduced and the corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer of the precursor is subjected to the first oxidation process.

[0029] (3-2) After the first oxidation process is completed, stop the oxygen supply and adjust the vacuum level of the vacuum chamber to 1×10⁻⁶. 1 Pa-6×10 1 Pa; The heating program is started to raise the temperature of the vacuum chamber to 650-850℃; Oxygen is introduced again to carry out a second oxidation process on the corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer of the precursor;

[0030] (3-3) After the second oxidation process is completed, stop the flow of all gases and cool down to room temperature to obtain the corrosion-resistant metal sealing ring.
