[0002] In the field of oilfield exploitation, the wear-resistant nozzle of the hydraulic jetting tool needs to withstand microscopic cutting damage of high-pressure jet flow containing sand as an important and vulnerable component, and its service life and use cost directly determine the working efficiency of the hydraulic jetting tool.

[0003] Traditional jetting tools are usually made of the following three materials: The high-performance wear-resistant nozzle adopts a composite structure of a steel matrix + hard alloy nozzle, but the hard alloy has high cost and high brittleness, is prone to failure, and the steel / hard alloy interface has a serious stress cracking risk; The ordinary steel nozzle has low production cost, but has insufficient wear resistance and a service life of less than 200 hours; The traditional high-speed steel nozzle has high hardness, but has a complex production process, high content of precious metals (such as Mo, W, V, etc.), significantly high production cost, and uneven distribution of carbides, which results in poor toughness and fatigue resistance, and the service safety of the nozzle cannot be guaranteed.

[0004] High-boron high-speed steel replaces C elements with B elements, and replaces hard carbide phases with borides with higher hardness and stability, flexibly controls the metal matrix and hard phases of the alloy, reduces the addition amount of precious metal elements, and significantly reduces the production cost of high-speed steel, so that the high-boron high-speed steel can balance the production cost and reliable service performance in various wear service conditions. Microscopic cutting wear caused by sand splashing on the tool body is the main cause of failure, but the above-mentioned existing material tools have a series of service shortcomings, and therefore a new material structure with high wear resistance, low cost and impact resistance needs to be developed.

[0009] Preferably, in the step S2, the temperature control treatment includes the following steps. 0.008%-0.012% of rare earth aluminum in terms of the mass of the liquid steel is added to the liquid steel for desulfurization treatment, and the temperature of the liquid steel is controlled to be reduced to 1350-1400 DEG C.

[0010] Preferably, in the step S2, the process parameters of the directional solidification treatment are as follows. The solidification interface temperature gradient is 100-200 K / cm, and the pulling rate is 3-8 mm / min.

[0011] Preferably, in the step S3, the austenitizing quenching and tempering heat treatment specifically includes the following steps. The workpiece after the mechanical processing is heated to 1040-1110 DEG C at a rate of 10-20 DEG C / min under vacuum, and is subjected to oil quenching after keeping for 60-120 min. The quenched workpiece is tempered under vacuum condition, the tempering temperature is 525-605 DEG C, the holding time is 55-65 min, and the tempering treatment is repeated at least 3 times.

[0013] Another technical scheme of the application is a directional solidification high-boron high-speed steel spray head for oilfield hydraulic use, which is characterized by being prepared by the preparation method, and comprises a metal base and boride hard phases distributed on the base, and the alloy composition is C: 0.21%-0.37%, B: 1.76%-2.12%, Cr: 5.42%-6.37%, Mo: 1.05%-1.49%, W: 3.51%-3.95%, Mn: 0.44%-0.56%, Si: 0.40%-0.60% by weight percentage, and the rest is Fe and inevitable trace impurities.

[0014] Preferably, the hardness of the spray head is 58.5-64.5 HRC, the surface roughness Ra of the inner wall of the flow channel is 0.25-0.40 μm, the microstructure of the spray head comprises tempered martensite base and (Fe, Cr)2B boride hard phases arranged directionally on the base.

[0015] Preferably, the directional solidification direction of the spray head is perpendicular to the inner wall direction of the nozzle.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the application has at least the following beneficial effects: A directional solidification high-boron high-speed steel spray head preparation method for oilfield hydraulic use adopts vacuum induction melting process to smelt high-boron high-speed steel liquid, avoids the introduction of impurity elements and the burning loss of raw materials, and improves the accuracy of alloy chemical composition and the stability of performance. The directional solidification pulling method is adopted to prepare the as-cast high-boron high-speed steel blank, the directional solidification parameters can be adjusted in a large range, so that the alloy microstructure form can be controlled according to the service performance requirements, and a workpiece with excellent service performance in a specific direction can be obtained. The as-cast directional solidification high-boron high-speed steel is subjected to austenitizing + tempering process, the sharp corners of the boride hard phase skeleton are passivated, and a large amount of dispersed precipitated phase is obtained, the abrasive wear resistance, bending strength and fatigue resistance of the directional solidification high-boron high-speed steel oilfield hydraulic spray tool are significantly improved. The core of the application lies in the alloy composition design conducive to the formation of directional solidification hard phase texture, the smelting of high-boron high-speed steel liquid, the directional solidification texture control technology, and the directional solidification high-boron high-speed steel hardening and tempering heat treatment technology.

[0017] Further, the content of Cr element in the alloy is 5.42%~6.37%, at this content, the boride hard phase of high boron high speed steel is (Fe, Cr)2B of tetragonal structure, which can grow along <002> direction to obtain rod-shaped directional arrangement of boride texture under directional solidification process, significantly improving the strength and wear resistance of the workpiece at the vertical interface of the solidification direction; the total content of Mo and W elements is controlled within 5%, which significantly reduces the production cost of raw materials of high boron high speed steel, and the elements dissolved in the boride hard phase further improve the hardness and toughness of the boride, and the elements dissolved in the metal matrix improve the hardenability of the alloy, which helps to reduce the heat treatment cost; the content of C element is controlled at 0.21%~0.37%, which can obtain low-carbon tempered martensite structure after heat treatment, which has high hardness and toughness, and can further improve the service safety of the workpiece.

[0018] Further, in the vacuum melting process, the melting temperature before adding boron iron is 1540~1580℃, which is higher than the melting point of pure iron 1538℃, so that various raw materials can be quickly melted to ensure sufficient thermal flow stirring and melting of the molten steel, and the homogenization and cleanliness of the melt are improved; the boron iron is preheated at 300℃ for 40~60min, which can improve the yield of boron element.

[0019] Further, in the directional solidification process, the solidification interface temperature gradient and the pulling speed are controlled to control the solidification speed of high boron high speed steel, so as to realize the regulation of the directional organization parameters (such as primary metal matrix grain size and eutectic boride lamellar spacing) of the same composition alloy, and to realize the regulation of the service performance of the directional solidification high boron high speed steel.

[0020] Further, austenitizing at 1040~1110℃ for 60~120min, so that the metal matrix of high boron high speed steel is completely converted into austenite, and part of the carbides and borides around the matrix are broken and dissolved, thereby improving the hardness and toughness of the high boron high speed steel workpiece; the tempering temperature is set to 525~605℃, and the furnace is cooled to room temperature, and the tempering treatment is repeated for 3 times, which can effectively release the internal stress generated in the quenching process, promote the tempering precipitation hardening effect of M7(C, B)3, M6(C, B), M6(C, B) and other hard and fine second phase particles on the tempered martensite matrix, and improve the stability of the alloy organization, especially the tempered martensite and the precipitated fine second phase particles, thereby improving the service performance stability and service safety of the workpiece.

[0021] The directional solidification high-boron high-speed steel jet nozzle for oilfield hydraulic use has components and structural design, so that the product has high hardness (boride hard phase) and good toughness (metal matrix), and solves the problems of large brittleness of traditional hard alloy, poor wear resistance of ordinary steel, and high cost of traditional high-speed steel. Precise limitation of the component range ensures stable and controllable product performance, avoids performance fluctuations caused by component deviation, and provides structural and component protection for reliable service of the product in the high-pressure sand-containing environment of the oilfield.

[0022] Further, the hardness of 58.5-64.5 HRC and the surface roughness of 0.25-0.40 μm accurately match the service requirements of the oilfield hydraulic jet. The directional arrangement of (Fe, Cr) 2B boride and the tempered martensite matrix synergistically act to achieve a balance between wear resistance and impact resistance. Compared with existing products, this combination of performance parameters solves the problems of insufficient hardness, poor wear resistance, or insufficient toughness and easy breakage of traditional nozzles, ensures long-term stable operation of the nozzle in the high-pressure sand-containing jet environment, and significantly improves the service life and use cost ratio.

[0023] Further, the directional solidification direction is perpendicular to the inner wall of the nozzle, so that the hard phase is arranged along the erosion stress direction to form targeted protection. This design allows the inner wall of the nozzle to directly resist the microscopic cutting and erosion of sand particles, solving the problem of disordered arrangement of the hard phase and insufficient erosion resistance of traditional products. The optimization of the directional solidification direction further enhances the wear resistance, significantly reduces the wear rate of the nozzle in the high-pressure sand-containing working condition, further prolongs the service life, and improves the use efficiency ratio.

[0024] In summary, the directional solidification high-boron high-speed steel oilfield hydraulic jet tool manufactured by the vacuum melting + directional solidification + heat treatment process in the present application has a tempered martensite- (Fe, Cr) 2B dual-phase columnar crystal organization, and a high-density tempered precipitated hard particle in the tempered martensite, so that the service life and performance of the oilfield hydraulic jet tool are greatly improved, and the cost ratio is higher than that of existing oilfield hydraulic jet tools.

[0041] S2. Temperature control treatment is applied to the molten steel obtained in step S1 to control the temperature of the high boron high speed steel molten steel to be reduced to 1350~1400℃ and then transferred to a vacuum pulling furnace for directional solidification treatment to obtain directional solidified high boron high speed steel cast billet. The temperature control process is as follows: After the hot ladle treatment, place rare earth aluminum at the bottom of the ladle, equivalent to 0.008%~0.012% of the molten steel mass. Pour the molten steel into the ladle for desulfurization treatment. When the temperature of the molten steel drops to 1350~1400℃, transfer it to an industrial vacuum clinker furnace.

[0042] Directional solidification specifically refers to: Directional solidification was carried out in an industrial-grade directional solidification pulling furnace. The solidification interface temperature gradient was 100~200K / cm, the pulling rate was 3~8mm / min, and the obtained directional solidification ingot size was Φ80×250mm.

[0043] S3. The as-cast billet obtained in step S2 is subjected to rough machining, austenitization and tempering heat treatment, and surface polishing to obtain a directional solidification high boron high-speed steel oilfield hydraulic jet nozzle.

[0044] The specific machining process is as follows: The casting billet is rough machined into a tool body of Φ65×220mm using a lathe, and four nozzle channels with a diameter of 4.5±0.1mm are evenly drilled on the end face using a drilling machine.

[0045] The austenitizing and tempering heat treatment specifically includes: The workpiece to be processed is placed in a vacuum resistance furnace and heated to 1040~1110℃ at a heating rate of 10~20℃ / min for austenitization and holding for 60~120min.

[0051] The specific preparation process of this invention is as follows: S1. Using electrical pure iron, micro-carbon ferrochrome, ferrotungsten, ferromolybdenum, pig iron, ferromanganese, and ferrosilicon as raw materials, vacuum melting is carried out at 1580℃. Then, the molten steel is transferred to a ladle for hot ladle treatment. Boron iron that has been held at 300℃ for 60 minutes is added to the induction furnace. The molten steel in the ladle is then returned to the furnace for remelting. The temperature of the molten steel is raised again to 1540℃ and held for 10 minutes to obtain pure high-boron high-speed steel. S2. Temperature control treatment is applied to the molten steel obtained in step S1. Rare earth aluminum equivalent to 0.012% of the molten steel mass is placed at the bottom of the ladle after the hot ladle treatment. The molten steel is then poured into the ladle for desulfurization treatment. The temperature of the high boron high-speed steel is controlled to decrease to 1350℃ and then transferred to an industrial-grade directional solidification pulling furnace for directional solidification treatment. The solidification interface temperature gradient is 200K / cm, the pulling rate is 8mm / min, and the obtained directional solidification ingot size is Φ80×250mm. S3. The cast billet obtained in step S2 is subjected to rough machining. The billet is rough machined into a tool body of Φ65×220mm using a lathe, and four nozzle channels with a diameter of 4.5±0.1mm are evenly drilled on the end face using a drilling machine. The workpiece to be processed is placed in a vacuum resistance furnace and heated to 1110℃ at a heating rate of 20℃ / min for austenitization and held for 120min. Then, it is quenched with vacuum quenching oil. Next, the quenched workpiece is placed in a vacuum resistance furnace and heated to the tempering temperature of 525℃ and held for 55min. It is then cooled to room temperature in the furnace and the tempering process is repeated three times. The final alloy hardness is 64.5HRC. Finally, the inner wall of the flow channel is finely polished with a diamond grinding wheel for 180s. The polishing medium is 10 vol.% water-based 2.5μm SiO2 suspension, and the inner wall roughness Ra is 0.25μm.

[0052] This embodiment utilizes a high proportion of ferroborone (11.127%), the highest vacuum melting temperature (1580℃), the maximum directional solidification temperature gradient (200K / cm), and the fastest pulling rate (8mm / min), combined with high-temperature austenitization (1110℃) and low-temperature tempering (525℃) processes, to obtain a product with a hardness of 64.5HRC and a surface roughness of 0.25μm. The high boron content and optimized process parameters result in a more dense and ordered arrangement of the (Fe,Cr)2B hard phase, and a sufficiently refined tempered martensitic matrix, exhibiting both extremely high hardness and good toughness. In actual testing, after 1800 hours of service, only slight wear was observed, and the erosion weight loss was only 32mg / 100h, significantly superior to cemented carbide and ordinary carbon steel, making it suitable for high-pressure sand-containing blasting conditions where wear resistance is extremely important.

[0054] The specific preparation process of this invention is as follows: S1. Using electrical pure iron, micro-carbon ferrochrome, ferrotungsten, ferromolybdenum, pig iron, ferromanganese, and ferrosilicon as raw materials, vacuum melting is carried out at 1555℃. Then, the molten steel is transferred to a ladle for hot ladle treatment. Boron iron that has been held at 300℃ for 50 minutes is added to the induction furnace. The molten steel in the ladle is then returned to the furnace for remelting. The temperature of the molten steel is raised again to 1520℃ and held for 10 minutes to obtain pure high-boron high-speed steel. S2. Temperature control treatment is applied to the molten steel obtained in step S1. Rare earth aluminum equivalent to 0.012% of the molten steel mass is placed at the bottom of the ladle after the hot ladle treatment. The molten steel is then poured into the ladle for desulfurization treatment. The temperature of the high boron high-speed steel is controlled to decrease to 1380℃ and then transferred to an industrial-grade directional solidification pulling furnace for directional solidification treatment. The solidification interface temperature gradient is 150K / cm, the pulling rate is 5mm / min, and the obtained directional solidification ingot size is Φ80×250mm. S3.

The billet is rough machined into a tool body of Φ65×220mm using a lathe, and four nozzle channels with a diameter of 4.5±0.1mm are evenly drilled on the end face using a drilling machine. The workpiece to be processed is placed in a vacuum resistance furnace and heated to 1080℃ at a heating rate of 15℃ / min for austenitization and held for 80min. Then, it is quenched with vacuum quenching oil. Next, the quenched workpiece is placed in a vacuum resistance furnace and heated to the tempering temperature of 575℃ and held for 60min. It is then cooled to room temperature in the furnace and the tempering process is repeated three times. The alloy hardness is 60.5HRC. Finally, the inner wall of the flow channel is finely polished with a diamond grinding wheel for 145s. The polishing medium is 10 vol.% water-based 2.5μm SiO2 suspension, and the inner wall roughness Ra is 0.30μm.

The temperature of the molten steel is raised again to 1500℃ and held for 10 minutes to obtain pure high-boron high-speed steel. S2. Temperature control treatment is applied to the molten steel obtained in step S1. Rare earth aluminum equivalent to 0.012% of the molten steel mass is placed at the bottom of the ladle after the hot ladle treatment. The molten steel is then poured into the ladle for desulfurization treatment.

The product has a hardness of 58.5HRC and a surface roughness of 0.40μm. The lower hardness combined with better toughness can withstand impact loads under complex working conditions and avoid brittle fracture. Although the wear resistance is slightly lower than the previous two embodiments, the production cost is lower, making it suitable for working conditions with small sand particle size and large impact loads, expanding the product's application range and meeting the differentiated needs of different scenarios.

The billet is rough machined into a tool body of Φ65×220mm using a lathe, and four nozzle channels with a diameter of 4.5±0.1mm are evenly drilled on the end face using a drilling machine. The workpiece to be processed is placed in a vacuum resistance furnace and heated to 1060℃ at a heating rate of 12℃ / min for austenitization and held for 75min.

[0065] Actual test of hydraulic jetting in oilfield wells Hydraulic jetting tools made of directional solidified high-boron high-speed steel, ordinary carbon steel hydraulic jetting tools, and cemented carbide hydraulic jetting tools were tested in oilfield downhole operations under the following conditions: sand jetting speed: 50 m / s² 3 / h (40~70 mesh quartz sand), water flow velocity: 220m / s, water flow pressure: 60MPa.

[0066] 1. Service life test results: See actual photos of the jetting equipment after service operation testing. Figure 4 .

[0067] Tools made of ordinary carbon steel: After 200 hours of downhole service operation test, the nozzle and pipe wall surface have been damaged, and the oilfield hydraulic jetting tool has lost its service function.

[0068] Example 1: Directional solidification high-boron high-speed steel tool: After 1800 hours of downhole service operation test, the nozzle only showed slight wear, and the oilfield hydraulic jet tool still has service function.

[0069] 2. The wear rate test results of a single nozzle after 100 hours of service are shown in Table 1. The service life of the tool made of directional solidification high boron high-speed steel in Example 1 is 2.7 times that of the traditional cemented carbide tool of the same specification and 13.5 times that of the tool made of different carbon steel.

[0070] Table 1. Comparison of erosion weight loss of a single nozzle after 100 hours of service testing for water jet tools made of different materials.

[0071] Please see Figure 2 The directional solidification direction is perpendicular to the inner wall of the nozzle. With the help of the directional arrangement of (Fe,Cr)2B rod-shaped texture and precipitation-strengthened tempered martensite, it achieves a synergistic effect of resisting abrasive wear under high pressure and high flow rate environment, which significantly reduces the erosion and abrasive wear damage suffered by the inner wall of the nozzle.

[0072] Please see Figure 3 The heat-treated directional solidified high-boron high-speed steel prepared according to the process parameters of Example 1 contains a large number of second-phase precipitated hard particles in its tempered martensitic matrix, and the network eutectic boride skeleton and sharp corners disappear. At this time, the alloy has both hardness and toughness, and has good wear resistance and service safety.

[0073] Please see Figure 4 Under test conditions (sand jetting speed: 50m) 3 The service life of the directionally solidified high-boron high-speed steel tool and the ordinary carbon steel tool in Example 1 were tested by measuring the flow rate (40~70 mesh quartz sand, water flow velocity: 220 m / s, water flow pressure: 60 MPa) for 1800 h. After 1800 h of operation, the nozzle of the directionally solidified high-boron high-speed steel tool in Example 1 showed only slight wear. After 200 h of operation, the ordinary carbon steel tool was severely damaged and lost its service function. This shows that the water jet tool made of the material of the present invention has superior service performance and service life compared with the traditional material tool.

[0074] In summary, this invention provides a directional solidification high-boron high-speed steel jet nozzle for oilfield hydraulic applications and its preparation method.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
