Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of seamless pipe preparation, and relates to a high-strength and tough seamless steel pipe for a drill rod and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As oil and gas exploration advances to depths of 10,000 meters in the earth, the extremely harsh working conditions have placed more stringent demands on core drilling equipment and technologies. As an important component of drill pipe, the quality, strength, toughness and high temperature resistance of seamless steel pipes play a vital role in breaking through technical bottlenecks and ensuring drilling safety.
[0003] The complex geological conditions at a depth of 10,000 meters make the demand for high-strength and tough drill pipes more urgent. High-strength and tough drill pipes of 150 steel grade have reached large-scale production at home and abroad, and 165 steel grade has also been developed and trial-produced for application. Chinese patent CN103938095A discloses a 165ksi steel grade high-strength and high-toughness drill pipe, the drill pipe has a maximum longitudinal full-size impact energy of 126J at -20°C, and a grain size of 9. Although the mechanical properties of the drill pipe meet the strength requirements of 165KSI steel grade drill pipe, the effect of the proportion of rolling defects on the brittleness of the drill pipe is not fully considered. Under the action of alternating load stresses such as pulling, torsion, and bending during the actual downhole process, high-strength and tough drill pipes are at risk of brittle fracture. Therefore, when used in a well environment of 10,000 meters or deeper, whether the drill pipes made of existing seamless steel pipes can meet the principle of leaking first and then breaking, and ensure the safety of the drill pipe after failure, remains to be discussed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a high-strength and toughness seamless steel pipe for drill pipe and its manufacturing method. By calculating and optimizing the alloy composition, reasonable limits + high-purity steel smelting + tube blank segmented heating + secondary hardening are carried out to synergistically achieve the comprehensive advantages of high strength and toughness and low defects (f≤1%), solve the risk of brittle fracture of deep well drill pipe, meet the principle of leakage before breaking, and improve the safety of use.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is:
[0006] The first aspect of the present invention provides a high-strength and tough seamless steel pipe for drill pipe, the composition by mass percentage is: C: 0.22% to 0.25%, Si: 0.25% to 0.40%, Mn: 0.25% to 0.35%, P: ≤0.008%, S: ≤0.0010%, Ni: 0.20% to 0.30%, Cr: 1.20% to 1.30%, Mo: 1.15% to 1.20%, V: 0.17% to 0.20%, Nb: 0.02% to 0.04%, Al: 0.005% to 0.020%, Ca: 0.0005% to 0.0040%, O: ≤0.0 0.020%, N: ≤0.0050%, H: ≤0.00015%, Pb: ≤0.0150%, Sb: ≤0.0150%, As: ≤0.0150%, Bi: ≤0.0150%, Sn: ≤0.0150%, the rest are iron and unavoidable impurities, the total percentage of rolling defects f≤1%, yield strength 1094~1176MPa, tensile strength 1189~1238MPa, elongation 21%~27%, high temperature tensile yield strength at 250℃ 930~1023MPa, longitudinal full-size impact energy at -20℃ 123~138J, grain size ≥9.5.
[0007] The total rolling defect percentage f is calculated by the following steps:
[0008] (1) Define the mapping relationship between alloy elements and defects: f = A n +B n +C n +D n +E n +F n +G n , A is eddy current flaw detection defect, B is inner fold defect, C is inner scar defect, D is outer fold defect, E is outer scar defect, F is inner edge defect, G is pitting defect, defect unit is percentage, n is the serial number of different steel grades; alloy composition is related by the following formula: a n C+b n ·Si+d n Mn+e n ·Ni+g n ·Cr+h n ·Mo+i n ·V+j n Nb+k n ·Al+l n Ca→A n +B n +C n +D n +E n +F n +G n
[0009] Where a, b, d, e, g, h, i, j, k, and l are the mass percentages of the alloying elements C, Si, Mn, Ni, Cr, Mo, V, Nb, Al, and Ca, respectively;
[0010] (2) BP neural network was used to optimize the components, the Levenberg-Marquardt feedforward propagation method was called, the double hidden layer node setting was 10-10-8-7, and the number of training times was 500 times; in the order of steel grades, a, b, d, e, g, h, i, j, k, l were imported into the neural network input, and A, B, C, D, E, F, G were imported into the neural network output for calculation and fitting;
[0011] (3) Call the simulation function sim to predict rolling defects and ensure that f≤1%.
[0012] Furthermore, the addition ratio of alloying elements is adjusted. When Nb≥0.025% or V≥0.20%, B n Increase the weight coefficient by 1.2 before; when Mo / 10+V+Nb≥0.33, D n and E n The weight coefficient should be increased by 1.25 before adding; after weighting, round it up according to scientific notation.
[0013] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a high-strength and tough seamless steel pipe for a drill pipe, comprising the following steps:
[0014] (1) Steelmaking:
[0015] Electric arc furnace smelting → refining outside the furnace → vacuum treatment.
[0016] The electric arc furnace smelting uses all scrap steel as the raw material, without adding molten iron or pig iron. Oxygen is blown from the bottom of the furnace to remove slag. Bottom lime and dephosphorization agent are added into the furnace. Then, two pours of refining are carried out outside the furnace. The weak stirring time is 6 to 20 minutes. Vacuum bottom blowing of argon is used for stirring. The tapping temperature is controlled at 1620 to 1680℃.
[0017] (2) Continuous casting:
[0018] When pouring begins, throw out 1% of the tapping volume (used for other varieties to ensure sufficient purity), control the molten steel flow rate at 0.3-0.6 m / min, and the continuous casting billet drawing speed at 0.3-2.0 m / min. When the molten steel volume is ≤20t, the drawing speed is controlled at 1.2-1.6 m / min, and when the molten steel volume is ≤10t, the drawing speed is controlled at 0.3-0.6 m / min, and the continuous casting billet yield is controlled at 94%-96%;
[0019] (3) Rolling: Ring furnace heating → piercing → rolling → sizing
[0020] The heating of the tube billet in the annular furnace is divided into three stages. The first stage is 700±20℃ and kept warm for 0.5h. Then it is slowly heated at 60-80℃ / h to 800±20℃ in the second stage and kept warm for 2.5-3h. Then it is rapidly heated at 150-200℃ / h to 1260±20℃ in the third stage and kept warm for 2.5-3h. The furnace discharge temperature is controlled at 1260±10℃.
[0021] The piercing bite angle is 11-12°, the rolling speed limit V is 0.8-1.2 m / s, the starting rolling temperature Ta is 1030±15°C, the finishing rolling temperature Tb is 950±10°C, and (Ta-Tb) is satisfied. 1 / 2 × V = 6 to 10, and the rolled tube is obtained;
[0022] (4) Heat treatment of blank sample:
[0023] When the seamless steel pipe is 165 steel grade, it is quenched at 900±5℃ and kept warm for 25±5min, water quenched, tempered at 550±5℃ and kept warm for 60~70min, air cooled, quenched again, kept warm at 900±5℃ for 25±5min, water quenched, secondary hardening at 570±10℃ and kept warm for 60min, air cooled, tempered at 660±5℃ and kept warm for 90~100min, air cooled;
[0024] When the seamless steel pipe is 150 steel grade, it is quenched and kept at 860-865℃ for 25±5min, water quenched, kept at 640±5℃ for 110-120min, and air cooled.
[0025] Furthermore, in step (1), the bottom oxygen blowing for slag removal is specifically as follows: the KT oxygen gun and the carbon gun adopt a fixed blowing curve and manual intermittent blowing, wherein the oxygen flow rate of the oxygen gun is 2000-2200m 3 / h, natural gas flow rate 400~450m 3 / h, the carbon gun blowing flow rate is 50-55kg / min.
[0026] Furthermore, in step (1), the bottom lime and the dephosphorization agent account for 1.5-2 wt% and 0.1-0.2 wt% of the scrap steel material, respectively.
[0027] Furthermore, the temperature is controlled at 1630-1650°C at the end of the first out-of-furnace refining and continuous pouring, and is controlled at 1570-1600°C at the end of the vacuum treatment. The temperature is controlled at 1610-1630°C at the end of the second out-of-furnace refining and continuous pouring, and is controlled at 1550-1570°C at the end of the vacuum treatment.
[0028] Furthermore, when the amount of molten steel is 10t≤≤20t, the pulling speed is controlled to be 1.2-1.6m / min; when the amount of molten steel is ≤10t, the pulling speed is controlled to be 0.3-0.6m / min.
[0029] The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:
[0030] The present invention obtains a high-strength, high-toughness, high-purity, high-temperature resistant seamless steel pipe for drill pipe body by adding alloy elements that are prone to rolling defects in limited amounts, and combining high-purity steel smelting technology + limited billet drawing, segmented heating and insulation of tube billets and speed-controlled heating technology, two-time tempering + secondary hardening and other technical means. The proportion of rolling defects is significantly improved, the risk of brittle fracture of deep well drill pipe is solved, the principle of leaking first and then breaking is met, and the safety of use is improved.

[0102] Comparative Example 3: The tube billet speed regulation and heating technology was not used, and the rolling process did not meet the formula (Ta-Tb) 1 / 2 ×V=6-10, the defect rate is 1.29%, and the high temperature strength (955 MPa) is lower than that of Examples 1-4 (≥994 MPa).
[0103] The defect rate f of the embodiments is ≤0.85%, which is mainly caused by external scarring / internal bending residual stress, while the defect rate f of comparative examples 1 to 3 exceeds 1.30% due to substandard ingredients / processes.
[0104] Comparative Example 4 did not undergo secondary hardening during heat treatment, which affected the strength indicators: yield strength was 1121 MPa, tensile strength was 1190 MPa, longitudinal full-size impact energy at -20°C was 121 J, and the strength-toughness ratio did not meet the 165 Ksi requirement.
[0105] Therefore, the present invention optimizes the alloy composition through calculation, performs reasonable limit + high-purity steel smelting + tube blank segmented heating + secondary hardening, and synergistically achieves the comprehensive advantages of high strength and toughness and low defects (f≤1%), solves the risk of brittle fracture of deep well drill pipe, satisfies the principle of leakage before breaking, and improves safety of use.
[0106] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
