Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the fields of oil and gas production such as wellhead Christmas trees and fracturing manifolds, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a high impact-resistant and corrosion-resistant quadrilateral for fracturing. Background Art

[0002] In the oil and gas production fields such as wellhead Christmas trees and fracturing manifolds, quadrilaterals are an indispensable part. Due to the high flow, high pressure, and high sand content in oil and gas production operations, in actual use, traditional quadrilaterals often suffer from internal flow channel erosion, corrosion, and other damage, resulting in abnormal flow and quadrilateral leakage, posing a great safety hazard.

[0003] After the quadrilateral is damaged, on-site maintenance is cumbersome and inefficient, affecting the progress of on-site oil and gas production operations. Therefore, in order to solve this series of problems, we proposed a method for manufacturing a high impact-resistant and corrosion-resistant quadrilateral for fracturing to solve the problem. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a high impact-resistant and corrosion-resistant quadrilateral for fracturing. The main channel of the quadrilateral adopts a hole expansion structure design at the intersection of the flow channels, which is convenient for the fluid to reduce the degree of turbulence at the intersection of the central channel, reduce the flow loss of the main channel, and fully meet the high flow fluid passability under the conditions of oil production trees, fracturing manifolds, etc. The intersection of the central channel of the quadrilateral adopts a large fillet structure design to reduce the impact of the fluid on the intersection of the central channel. The surface of the intersection of the flow channels is hardened by a supersonic flame spraying (HVOF) tungsten carbide process to make it have high impact resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for manufacturing a high impact-resistant and corrosion-resistant quadruple for fracturing, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1, prepare a four-piece raw material blank;

[0007] S2, roughing and heat treatment of the four-piece blank;

[0008] S3, drilling another vertical center channel I of the quadrilateral;

[0009] S4, fix the quadrilateral to the lathe, and fine-turn the center channel I, fine-turn the center channel II, and expand the hole III at the intersection of the center channel;

[0010] S5, grinding the large radius corner IV at the intersection of the center channel;

[0011] S6, cleaning and drying the tetrahedron;

[0012] S7, using HVOF equipment to perform thermal spraying tungsten carbide hardening treatment on the inner surface V of the intersection of the central channel of the quad body;

[0013] S8, fine-machining the six faces of the quadrilateral, fine-machining the gasket ring groove and drilling the four end face threading holes connected to the center channel hole;

[0014] S9. Check and print the label.

[0015] Preferably, in step S1, the raw material blank of the tetrahedron is a forged low-carbon steel alloy block.

[0016] Preferably, in step S2, the four-way body blank is roughed by using a machine tool to rough turn six sides of the raw material blank, and a 3-5mm finishing allowance is reserved on one side. A channel center through hole is drilled at the center position of one of the planes using a drilling machine, and then the center hole is processed using a boring machine, so that a 3-5mm finishing allowance is reserved on one side of the center hole. The four-way body is roughed and heat treated to meet the mechanical property requirements of the material.

[0017] Preferably, in step S3, drilling another vertical center channel I of the quad body is to roughen the quad body and fix it to a drilling machine, and drill another center channel I of the quad body, completely through it, perpendicular to the end face and the existing center channel hole.

[0018] Preferably, the roughness of the fine turning center channel I, the fine turning center channel II, and the expanded hole III at the intersection of the fine turning center channels in step S4 is controlled at Ra6.3. The expanded hole at the intersection III of the center channel of the four-way body is convenient for reducing the degree of turbulence of the fluid at the intersection of the center channels and reducing the impact of the fluid on the intersection of the center channels. The roughness is controlled at Ra6.3 to facilitate the adsorption of tungsten carbide during thermal spray tungsten carbide hardening treatment.

[0019] Preferably, in step S5, a large rounded corner IV is polished at the intersection of the central channels to reduce the impact of the fluid on the intersection of the central channels.

[0020] Preferably, in S6, the quad body is cleaned and dried, and the inner surface V at the intersection of the central channels of the quad body is not pickled, phosphated or nitrided, which is not conducive to the thermal spray tungsten carbide hardening treatment.

[0021] Preferably, in S7, using HVOF equipment to perform thermal spraying tungsten carbide hardening treatment on the inner surface V at the intersection of the central channel of the quad body, comprises the following steps:

[0022] S701, Tungsten carbide hardening coating requirements: Applicable to the use environment with the highest temperature up to 540℃. The surface tungsten carbide thermal spraying should meet the characteristics requirements shown in Table 1 and Table 2.

[0025] The chemical composition ratio should be expressed as weight percentage (WC-CO-GR / 86-10-4)

[0026] Table 2 Coating properties:

[0027]

[0028] S702, Surface treatment requirements before tungsten carbide hardening: All surfaces to be sprayed should be free of dust, grease contaminants and adhesive oxide film.

If oxidation occurs during sandblasting and thermal spraying, the surface should be re-sandblasted to the specified visual standard. The roughness of the surface to be sprayed should be Ra6.3. If necessary, self-fluxing alloy material (nickel-clad aluminum 95% Ni-5% Al) can be sprayed on the substrate surface as a base roughening surface. Any non-sprayed surface should be shielded and properly protected.

[0029] S703, tungsten carbide hardening inspection and testing: sampling should be carried out according to the regulations for non-destructive and destructive testing. A test plate should be prepared with the same material and the same spraying process. This test plate can represent the sprayed workpiece for relevant tests. The coating surface should be visually inspected. The coating surface color should be consistent, the coating thickness should be uniform, the appearance should be smooth and flat, and no coating peeling is allowed. There should be no defects such as pores, slag inclusions, cracks, and pinholes. After machining, the coating thickness is inspected. It should be inspected by magnetic method or cross-section metallographic microscopy method according to the requirements described in ISO2178 or ISO1463. The thickness of the sprayed surface is guaranteed to be 0.20-0.34mm. After machining, the surface accuracy is inspected. The surface accuracy of the coating should meet the requirements of the drawing. The defects inside the entire coating thickness should be observed through the cross section of the sample in a 400X metallographic microscope. The coating should be continuous and amorphous, without pores and cracks. Crack / pore detection: The coating of iron-based parts should be tested for porosity using the iron reagent method. Dissolve 25g potassium ferrocyanide and 15g sodium chloride in 1L distilled water. After cleaning the parts, immerse them in the reagent solution for 30s at room temperature. Take them out, rinse them, and air dry them. Check the blue spots on the surface, which indicate the location of the pores. The porosity should be less than 1%. Bonding strength: According to ISO14916, the coating pull-off method test is carried out, and the bonding strength of the coating should be higher than 20000Psi (140MPa).
