Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of steel for sucker rods, and particularly relates to a preparation method of high-strength and corrosion-resistant composite steel for sucker rods based on centrifugal casting. Background Art

[0002] Disclosing the information of this background art section is only intended to enhance the overall understanding of the present invention, and it is not necessarily regarded as an admission or any form of implication that this information constitutes the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0003] As a key component in oil extraction, sucker rods are subjected to complex mechanical loads for a long time. During the reciprocating motion up and down, sucker rods are subjected to periodic tensile-compressive loads, which easily cause fatigue failure of the material. Deep-well sucker rods bear their own weight + the weight of the liquid column, resulting in a large tensile load on the sucker rods. The oil well environment is usually harsh, and the service environment of sucker rods is complex, so that sucker rods are subjected to a strict corrosion environment for a long time. High-H2S oil wells cause hydrogen embrittlement and sulfide stress corrosion cracking. H2S reacts with steel to form FeS, and hydrogen atoms penetrate into the grain boundaries, resulting in embrittlement. In wells with a CO2 partial pressure > 0.05 MPa, a loose FeCO3 film is formed on the steel surface, and the local pitting corrosion rate can reach 5 - 8 mm / a. Some oil wells also contain a high concentration of brine, making sucker rods vulnerable to corrosion by brine and microorganisms. Brine accelerates electrochemical corrosion, and the metabolites of sulfate-reducing bacteria cause a local decrease in pH value, inducing ulcer-like corrosion pits. Therefore, sucker rods need to have high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Traditional single-metal sucker rods (such as carbon steel, alloy steel) are prone to failure due to corrosion fatigue or surface damage. Although stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, its price is expensive, and its mechanical properties cannot meet the requirements of the working conditions. To improve the service life, the bimetallic composite structure (high-strength inner layer + corrosion-resistant outer layer) has become the mainstream solution, but there are significant defects in the existing preparation technologies. For example, in traditional explosion welding or rolling composite processes, the bonding strength of the interface between dissimilar metals is insufficient. Processes such as surfacing and spraying require multiple processes, and the material utilization rate is low, the process is complex, and the cost is high.

[0004] Centrifugal casting is a casting process that uses the action of centrifugal force to achieve material forming. In this process, by rotating the mold or workpiece, the molten metal is evenly distributed and fills the mold under the action of centrifugal force, thereby forming the required shape and structure. In the late 1940s, centrifugal casting was initially developed, but the technology was not perfect, and it was only beginning to be applied to the industrial production of composite roller sleeves of several materials. By the mid-1970s, centrifugal casting technology had developed and was gradually used in industry. In addition to the advantages of centrifugal casting, the centrifugal casting composite technology can meet the higher requirements for materials of composite centrifugal composite castings because different materials are used for the inner and outer layers. The centrifugal casting process has the advantages of high production efficiency, high yield, refined crystal grains of the casting structure, and high strength, and is widely used in products in various industries. Centrifugal casting is widely used in the manufacture of high-performance components such as turbine blades and engine components in the aerospace field. In the automotive industry, centrifugal casting is used to manufacture key components such as exhaust valves and turbochargers. Centrifugal casting is also commonly used in the manufacture of corrosion-resistant chemical equipment such as composite pipes and pump casings.

[0005] Centrifugal casting has many advantages compared with traditional casting processes. Using centrifugal casting technology to prepare bimetallic composite steel pipes can simplify the production process flow without using sand cores, improve production efficiency, and reduce production costs. It can significantly improve the filling ability of liquid metal and improve the filling conditions. It can reduce or even eliminate the riser system and reduce metal consumption. In the process of centrifugally casting alloy steel liquid on the inner wall of a stainless steel pipe, the inner layer of molten metal solidifies directionally, which is conducive to the discharge of gas, oxides, inclusions, etc. in the liquid metal in the mold, and under the action of centrifugal force, they are distributed on the inner side of the inner layer of metal, which is convenient for subsequent removal. During the centrifugal casting process, an external force is applied to the unfrozen metal liquid to force the unfrozen metal to flow, that is, by using the method of dynamic effect, it can promote the transformation of columnar crystals into equiaxed crystals, control the organizational structure, refine the crystal grains, and improve the feeding conditions for the solidification of the casting, making the structure of the casting dense and improving the mechanical properties. The inner surface of the outer layer of stainless steel pipe remelts, and the interface with the inner layer of metal is metallurgical bonding, improving the bonding strength. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This patent uses centrifugal casting technology to shorten the manufacturing process flow and obtain steel for sucker rods with excellent performance, good quality and low cost.

[0007] In the first aspect of the present invention, a centrifugal casting method for high-strength and corrosion-resistant composite sucker rod steel is provided. The composite sucker rod steel is of a tubular structure, and from the surface layer to the inside, it is successively a stainless steel layer and a low-alloy structural steel layer with metallurgical bonding; the centrifugal casting method for the composite sucker rod steel is as follows: Select a stainless steel pipe of appropriate size as the outer mold for centrifugal casting. Pickle the inner surface of the stainless steel pipe, preheat the stainless steel pipe to 480 - 600 °C in an inert gas atmosphere, and fix it in a horizontal centrifugal casting device. Pour low alloy structural steel molten metal into the centrifugally rotating stainless steel pipe. The centrifugal casting temperature is 1400 - 1600 °C, and the centrifugal rotation speed is 800 - 1000 r / min until the inner low alloy structural steel layer is formed.

[0008] The thickness of the steel for the above-mentioned composite sucker rod is preferably 5 - 7 mm, more preferably 5 - 6 mm. The feasible thickness ratio of the stainless steel layer to the low alloy structural steel layer is 0.5 - 2:3 - 5.5, and the more preferred thickness ratio is 2:5.

[0009] Among them, the optional materials for the stainless steel layer include but are not limited to austenitic stainless steel and ferritic-austenitic stainless steel; the optional materials for the low alloy structural steel layer are such as chromium-molybdenum stainless steel. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stainless steel layer is made of austenitic stainless steel, in which C does not exceed 0.07, and each of Mn and Si does not exceed 0.6. Excessive C will increase the pitting tendency and the density of carbide precipitation; Mn can partially replace nickel (Ni) to stabilize the austenite structure, and Si can significantly improve the strength, hardness and high-temperature oxidation resistance of the steel by strengthening ferrite and promoting the formation of a dense oxide film, but excessive Mn and Si will affect the formation of the inner low alloy structural steel. It has been verified that the austenitic stainless steel within the above dosage range can balance the processing performance and corrosion resistance.

[0010] The steps for pickling the inner surface of the stainless steel pipe are as follows: Mix nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and water in a volume ratio of 1:1:4 - 8 to obtain a pickling solution, and use the pickling solution to pickle the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe. The pickling method is such as spraying or dipping, and more preferably the dipping method.

[0011] In the centrifugal casting process, the stainless steel pipe is preheated to 480 - 600 °C by the lower support roller and maintained at a rotation speed of 800 - 1000 r / min. Heat the low alloy structural steel molten metal to 1400 - 1600 °C and pour it into the rotating stainless steel pipe. Wait for 15 - 30 min until the inner low alloy structural steel layer is formed; when the temperature drops to 800 °C - 950 °C, introduce argon for cooling, and the temperature drops to 600 - 500 °C within 5 min to obtain the steel for the above-mentioned composite sucker rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the steel for the above-mentioned composite sucker rod also includes subsequent treatment processes such as precision rolling and quenching and tempering.

[0013] In the prior art, composite steel is generally prepared by methods such as surfacing, composite rolling, explosion welding, spraying, etc. The above-mentioned centrifugal casting process provided by the present invention drives the melt gradient (element gradient distribution at the phase and interface) through centrifugal force. The advantages of this process and structure are as follows: 1) Under the action of centrifugal force, substances with low density in the melt, such as oxides and impurities, will gradually accumulate on the inner wall of the tube. High-quality molten steel solidifies adjacent to the stainless steel tube, facilitating subsequent mechanical removal of impurities.

[0014] 2) When the high-temperature molten steel contacts the stainless steel tube wall, remelting occurs at the stainless steel contact interface. Since stainless steel is rich in alloying metal elements such as Cr, Cr will diffuse under the driving force of the chemical concentration gradient, and then be gradient-distributed at the interface, and a good metallurgical bond is formed at the interface.

[0015] In the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided steel for a composite sucker rod prepared by the method described in the first aspect.

[0016] In the third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the application of the steel for a composite sucker rod described in the first aspect in the field of oil exploitation.

[0017] The above composite sucker rod provided by the present invention is applied as a hollow sucker rod for exploiting high pour-point, high-viscosity or high-wax-content crude oil; based on the hollow structure of the above composite sucker rod, hot water, hot oil, chemical reagents or cables can be injected into the wellbore.

[0018] In one embodiment, the steel for the composite sucker rod is used for hot washing and wax removal technology. Through the hollow structure, hot washing media (such as hot water and hot oil) are injected above the wax deposition point in the well to melt the paraffin condensed on the inner walls of the sucker rod and the tubing, thereby reducing the load of the pumping unit, improving the working efficiency of the oil pump, enhancing the lifting capacity of the oil production system, and also solving the problem of the inspection pump cycle caused by wax deposition in the oil well.

[0019] In another embodiment, the steel for the composite sucker rod is used for diluting crude oil above the pump. Dilute oil is incorporated into the heavy crude oil at the bottom of the well through the hollow structure of the sucker rod. After the two crude oils are mixed, the viscosity is reduced, so that the mixed oil can be smoothly lifted to the ground to realize the exploitation of heavy crude oil.

[0020] In yet another embodiment, the steel for the composite sucker rod is used for electrothermal oil production technology. A cable is lowered into the wellbore through the hollow structure, so that the hollow sucker rod string and the cable form a closed loop, and an electromagnetic "skin effect" is generated on the surface of the rod body of the hollow sucker rod, becoming a heat source to carry out daily wax removal of the oil well, and smoothly realizing the lifting of crude oil by using the temperature sensitivity of heavy crude oil, ensuring the normal production of the oil well.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: Compared with the existing steel for sucker rods, the unique features of the present invention are as follows: By using the centrifugal casting method, low-alloy structural steel is used as the inner layer, and a stainless steel pipe is used as the outer layer. Through the control of the melt gradient distribution driven by centrifugal force, the alloy steel liquid is directly solidified and formed on the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe. The utilization rate of the metal liquid is high, and it is formed in one step without the need for a sand core, with high efficiency, especially suitable for the preparation of rotary parts. It improves the interfacial bonding strength of the composite layer, optimizes the microstructure of the matrix, promotes the transformation of dendritic crystals into equiaxed crystals through dynamic effects, reduces segregation, improves its mechanical properties, has a continuous gradient transition of materials, high performance, and small interfacial stress concentration. It can prepare composite materials with a large cladding thickness, making full use of the material characteristics and complementarity.

[0022] Through centrifugal casting, the grains of the inner low-alloy structural steel matrix can be refined, the dendritic crystals are broken and refined, and defects such as shrinkage cavities are reduced, improving the strength and fatigue resistance of the matrix. The outer stainless steel can provide good corrosion resistance. The finally prepared composite steel for sucker rods has high strength, good corrosion resistance, high bonding strength, long service life, and low price. It simplifies the process flow, saves materials, and reduces costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The application according to claim 9, wherein The composite sucker rod is applied as a hollow sucker rod in the exploitation of high pour point, high viscosity or high wax content crude oil; based on the hollow structure of the composite sucker rod, hot water, hot oil, chemical reagents are injected into the well or a cable is passed through; Further, the steel for the composite sucker rod is used for hot washing to remove wax. Through the hollow structure, a hot washing medium is injected above the wax deposition point in the well to melt the paraffin condensed on the inner walls of the sucker rod and the tubing; Further, the steel for the composite sucker rod is used for diluting above the pump. Through the hollow structure of the sucker rod, light oil is incorporated into the heavy oil at the bottom of the well. After the two crude oils are mixed, the viscosity is reduced, and thus the mixed oil is lifted to the ground to realize the exploitation of heavy oil; Further, the steel for the composite sucker rod is used for the electric heating oil production process. Through the hollow structure, a cable is lowered into the well, so that the hollow sucker rod string and the cable form a closed loop and become a heat source.
