Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing pipes for oil and gas gathering and transportation, and in particular to a pipeline steel for acidic environments, a bimetallic metallurgical composite pipe and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the proportion of corrosive media in oil and gas resources is increasing. For this type of oil and gas, effective corrosion control measures are required not only for oil well pipes used in exploration and development, but also for pipelines used for oil and gas gathering and transportation. Common pipe material options for corrosive oil and gas gathering and transportation pipelines include carbon steel with corrosion inhibitors, non-metallic pipes, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys. However, these materials suffer from short lifespans, high brittleness, low reliability of joints, and high prices. Recently developed bimetallic composite pipes overcome these drawbacks and are gaining widespread application. Bimetallic composite pipes consist of an outer base pipe and an inner liner (also known as an inner cladding) positioned within the outer base pipe. Compared to bimetallic mechanical composite pipes, bimetallic metallurgical composite pipes offer a higher interface strength between the outer base pipe and the inner liner, leading to their wider application. However, there are still some problems with bimetallic metallurgical composite pipes. For example, the inner liner thickness of bimetallic metallurgical composite pipes is relatively small (usually 1 to 3 mm). When used as oil and gas gathering and transportation pipelines, it is difficult to completely avoid welding defects in the butt girth weld of the oil and gas gathering and transportation pipelines. Therefore, during long-term use, corrosive oil and gas often come into contact with the low-carbon low-alloy steel metal of the outer base pipe, causing localized corrosion or stress corrosion and hydrogen-induced cracking. Stress corrosion and hydrogen-induced cracking are more harmful and have more serious consequences. Therefore, the hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion and hydrogen-induced cracking of the outer base pipe in an acidic environment must be considered. However, at present, the hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion and hydrogen-induced cracking resistance of the outer base pipe in bimetallic metallurgical composite pipes is still relatively limited.

[0003] Therefore, the existing technology still needs to be improved and developed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a pipeline steel for acidic environments, a bimetallic metallurgical composite pipe and a preparation method thereof, aiming to solve the problem of insufficient hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion and hydrogen-induced cracking resistance of the outer base pipe in the existing bimetallic metallurgical composite pipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present invention provides a pipeline steel for acidic environments, a bimetallic metallurgical composite pipe, and a method for preparing the same. To clarify the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is described in further detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] An embodiment of the present invention provides a pipeline steel for sour environments (i.e., low-carbon microalloyed pipeline steel), wherein the pipeline steel for sour environments includes the following chemical components in percentage by mass: C (carbon) 0.07%~0.11%, Si (silicon) 0.25%~0.37%, Mn (manganese) 1.15%~1.35%, P (phosphorus) ≤0.012%, S (sulfur) ≤0.003%, Nb (niobium) 0.01%~0.03%, Al (aluminum) 0.015%~0.03%, Ca (calcium) 0.01%~0.025%, N (nitrogen) ≤0.005%, O (oxygen) ≤0.002%, H (hydrogen) ≤0.00015%, the balance is Fe (iron) and unavoidable impurities; and O+H+N≤0.007%.

[0019] In this embodiment, the pipeline steel for sour environments possesses sufficient strength, high toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance (resistance to hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion and hydrogen-induced cracking). The pipeline steel for sour environments has a minimum room temperature yield strength of 245 MPa or greater, a tensile strength of 415 MPa or greater, a transverse Charpy V-notch impact toughness of 160 J or greater at -40°C, and a Vickers hardness (at a load of 10 kgf) of 200 or less. It exhibits no cracks or fissures after a 720-hour test in a saturated hydrogen sulfide solution using the NACE TM0177 A method with a 72% SMYS content. In a hydrogen-induced cracking test, the steel exhibits a crack sensitivity rate of ≤2%, a crack length rate of ≤15%, and a crack thickness rate of ≤5%, meeting the requirements of corrosive oil and gas gathering and transportation.

[0020] Specifically, the minimum room temperature yield strength of the pipeline steel for sour environments provided in this embodiment can reach the levels of L245S (or BS), L290S, L320S, L360S, and L390S steel grades, respectively. Taking L245S (or BS) as an example, L245S (or BS) is a nomenclature based on ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 3183 or API (American Petroleum Institute) 5L, where L represents pipeline steel, 245 or B (i.e., Grade B) indicates a minimum yield strength of 245 MPa, and S indicates sour service conditions, meaning the material must pass hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion testing. Taking L290S as another example, L represents pipeline steel, 290 indicates a minimum yield strength of 290 MPa, and S indicates sour service conditions, meaning the material must pass hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion testing. The meanings of the remaining symbols are similar.

[0021] Among them, the yield strength of L245S steel grade pipeline steel for acidic environment R t0.5 (i.e. the tensile stress corresponding to the total tensile strain of 0.5%) is 245-345MPa, and the tensile strength is 415-565MPa; the yield strength of L290S steel grade pipeline steel for acidic environment R t0.5 The yield strength of L320S steel grade pipeline steel for acidic environment is 290~390MPa, and the tensile strength is 415~565MPa;R t0.5 The yield strength of L360S steel grade pipeline steel for acidic environment is 320~420MPa, and the tensile strength is 435~585MPa; R t0.5 The yield strength of L390S steel grade pipeline steel for acidic environment is 360~460MPa, and the tensile strength is 460~610MPa. R t0.5 The hardness is 390~490MPa, and the tensile strength is 490~640MPa.

[0022] In this embodiment, pure steel with low carbon content, microalloying with Mn and Nb, Si-Al deoxidation to control nitrogen, and Ca treatment to control the morphology and properties of inclusions is used. The chemical composition design is relatively simple and has good overall performance. The role and mass percentage range of each chemical component are as follows: C: It is a strengthening element in steel. Too low a content is not conducive to improving the hardenability of steel and is not conducive to improving the strength of steel. Too high a content is not conducive to the plasticity, toughness and corrosion resistance of steel. Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within the range of 0.07% to 0.11%.

[0023] Si: It is a common element in steel. Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within the range of 0.25% to 0.37%.

[0024] Mn: Mainly used to improve the hardenability of steel, thereby increasing strength, but too high a content will increase segregation tendency and reduce corrosion resistance. Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within the range of 1.15% to 1.35%.

[0025] Nb: When added to steel, it forms NbC and NbN with C and N in the steel, which has the effect of hindering the growth of austenite grains and refining the grains, thereby improving strength and toughness. However, excessive content will increase the brittleness of the steel and lead to increased costs. Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within the range of 0.01% to 0.03%.

[0026] Al: It is an important deoxidizer. It forms oxides with oxygen to deoxidize, and forms nitrides with nitrogen to eliminate some of the adverse effects of nitrogen. It also refines grains and improves strength and toughness. To ensure effective deoxidation and nitrogen control, it is recommended to control Al / N ≥ 3 (i.e., the ratio of the mass percentage of Al to the mass percentage of N is greater than or equal to 3). Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within the range of 0.015% to 0.03%.

[0027] Ca: It can improve the properties and morphology of inclusions, thereby enhancing the plasticity, toughness, and corrosion resistance of steel. To ensure the deformation control effect of inclusions, it is advisable to control Ca / S ≥ 3 (that is, the ratio of the mass percentage of Ca to the mass percentage of S is greater than or equal to 3). Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within the range of 0.01% to 0.025%.

[0028] P: is a harmful element that mainly affects the plasticity, toughness and corrosion resistance of steel. Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within the range of ≤0.012%.

[0029] S: This is a harmful element that primarily affects the plasticity, toughness, and corrosion resistance of steel. Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within the range of ≤0.003%.

[0030] O: It is a harmful element that mainly affects the plasticity, toughness and corrosion resistance of steel. Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within the range of ≤0.002%.

[0031] H: is a harmful element that primarily affects the plasticity, toughness, and corrosion resistance of steel. Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within the range of ≤0.00015%.

[0032] Nitrogen: A harmful element, it primarily affects the plasticity, toughness, and corrosion resistance of steel. Taking all factors into consideration, its mass percentage should be controlled within 0.005% or less. Furthermore, O+H+N should be controlled within 0.007% or less (the sum of the mass percentages of O, H, and N should be less than or equal to 0.007%).

[0033] In some embodiments, the pipeline steel for sour environments includes the following chemical components in percentage by weight: C 0.07%~0.08%, Si 0.31%~0.37%, Mn 1.15%~1.19%, P 0.01%~0.012%, S 0.002%~0.003%, Nb 0.01%, Al 0.022%~0.03%, Ca 0.01%~0.017%, N 0.0045%~0.005%, O 0.0017%~0.0018%, H 0.00014%~0.00015%, the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

When loaded with 72% SMYS, no cracks or cracks were found in the saturated hydrogen sulfide solution tested by the NACE TM0177 A method for 720 hours. In the hydrogen-induced cracking test, the crack sensitivity rate is 0%, the crack length rate is 0%, and the crack thickness rate is 0%, which can meet the needs of corrosive oil and gas gathering and transportation.

No cracks or cracking were observed in the NACE TM0177 A method saturated hydrogen sulfide solution test for 720 hours using 72% SMYS. In the hydrogen-induced cracking test, the crack sensitivity rate, crack length rate, and crack thickness rate were 0%, which meets the requirements of corrosive oil and gas gathering and transportation.

[0039] At present, the chemical composition of the outer base tube metal and the inner liner corrosion-resistant alloy of the bimetallic metallurgical composite tube is very different, which will lead to abnormal growth of the diffusion layer or mismatch of thermal expansion coefficient, etc., and ultimately lead to problems such as low interface bonding strength between the outer base tube and the inner liner, easy collapse and bulging of the inner liner. In addition, since the chemical composition of the outer base tube metal and the inner liner corrosion-resistant alloy is very different, it will lead to phase change temperature window conflict and cooling rate mismatch, so the heat treatment is difficult, and the heat treatment process has a great influence on its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Therefore, the chemical composition design and reasonable coordination of the outer base tube and the inner liner are particularly important. Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a bimetallic metallurgical composite tube, wherein the bimetallic metallurgical composite tube includes an inner liner and an outer base tube sleeved outside the inner liner, and the inner liner is metallurgically bonded to the outer base tube; The inner lining pipe comprises the following chemical components in percentage by mass: C (carbon) ≤ 0.03%, Si (silicon) ≤ 0.7%, Mn (manganese) ≤ 1%, P (phosphorus) ≤ 0.02%, S (sulfur) ≤ 0.01%, Ni (nickel) 5.5% to 6.5%, Cr (chromium) 22% to 23%, Mo (molybdenum) 3.2% to 3.5%, N (nitrogen) 0.15% to 0.2%, the balance being Fe (iron) and unavoidable impurities; The outer base pipe is made of the pipeline steel for acidic environment as described above in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] In this embodiment, the material of the inner lining pipe is improved 2205 duplex stainless steel (which can be recorded as 2205M1 duplex stainless steel). The inner lining pipe contains H2S (hydrogen sulfide), CO2 (carbon dioxide) and Cl - (chloride ion) environment has good resistance to pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion. In addition, in this embodiment, an outer base pipe (pipeline steel for acidic environment) and an inner liner pipe (2205M1 duplex stainless steel) with a specific chemical composition are used. The two can form an effective metallurgical bond, and the interface bonding strength reaches 210MPa and above, which solves the problems of low interface bonding strength between the outer base pipe and the inner liner pipe in the existing bimetallic metallurgical composite pipe, and easy collapse and bulging of the inner liner pipe. At the same time, the outer base pipe has good resistance to hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion and hydrogen-induced cracking, and the inner liner pipe has good resistance to pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion. Therefore, the bimetallic metallurgical composite pipe composed of the outer base pipe and the inner liner pipe with a specific chemical composition has good corrosion resistance. In addition, the bimetallic metallurgical composite pipe has sufficient strength and high toughness, and can specifically reach the steel grade levels of L245S, L290S, L320S, L360S and L390S respectively, and its yield strength R t0.5 The tensile strength is 299-444MPa, the tensile strength is 489-568MPa, the longitudinal Charpy V-notch impact toughness at -40℃ is 224-261J, the transverse Charpy V-notch impact toughness at -40℃ is 168-198J, and the Vickers hardness (load 10kgf) is 152-177. When the CO2 partial pressure is ≤0.25MPa, pH ≥4, H2S partial pressure ≤3kPa, Cl - Under the environment of concentration of 5000ppm and temperature of 60℃, the corrosion rate of the inner lining pipe in the bimetallic metallurgical composite pipe is less than 0.02mm / a (millimeter per year); loaded with 72% SMYS, the bimetallic metallurgical composite pipe did not show any cracks or cracks in the saturated hydrogen sulfide solution tested in NACE TM0177 A method for 720 hours; in the hydrogen-induced cracking test, the crack sensitivity rate of the bimetallic metallurgical composite pipe was 0%, the crack length rate was 0%, and the crack thickness rate was 0%, which can meet the requirements of CO2, H2S and Cl - Requirements for oil and gas gathering and transportation.

[0041] In some embodiments, the liner tube comprises the following chemical components in percentage by weight: C 0.01%~0.03%, Si 0.31%~0.7%, Mn 0.34%~1%, P 0.012%~0.015%, S 0.003%~0.005%, Ni 5.5%~6.5%, Cr 22%~23%, Mo 3.2%~3.5%, N 0.15%~0.2%, the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.
