Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil drill pipe manufacturing technology, and in particular to a fatigue-resistant high-strength oil drill pipe and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The core differences between oil drill pipe and geological drill pipe, coal mine drill pipe, water well drill pipe, and engineering exploration drill pipe lie in their completely different service conditions, stress conditions, material strength, connection structure, sealing, and safety standards, making them unsuitable for general use. Specifically, oil drill pipe is a core channel component in oil and gas drilling, used in deep wells, ultra-deep wells, horizontal wells, deviated wells, and high-pressure, high-temperature wells. It withstands combined loads such as tension, compression, torsion, and impact, requiring characteristics of load-bearing capacity, torsion resistance, and high pressure resistance, making it highly susceptible to fatigue failure. In contrast, drill pipes used in other fields such as geological exploration, coalfields, and water wells operate in shallow to medium-deep wells, conventional formations, and under low pressure and low torque, focusing on drilling and rock breaking. Their requirements for strength, fatigue resistance, sulfur resistance, and sealing are far lower than those for oil drill pipes.

[0003] As the core of oil and gas drilling operations, drill pipe directly determines drilling safety, efficiency, and cost. During drill pipe manufacturing, higher strength and impact toughness are often ensured by reducing P and S content and adding more Cr. However, this improvement has limited effect on enhancing the drill pipe's fatigue resistance, and excessively high Cr content leads to a severe tendency for stress concentration in drill pipes that are predominantly martensitic in structure. In response to this situation, existing drill pipe and manufacturing solutions include: See CN102773603A, which uses existing friction welding technology to manufacture drill pipes. However, due to the significant differences in strength and toughness between the weld, heat-affected zone, and base material caused by friction welding, stress concentration is easily formed at the welded area, resulting in limited overall fatigue resistance. See CN102773603A, drill pipes are manufactured using solid bar stock or thick-walled tubular materials. While this avoids the poor microstructure and properties caused by friction welding and heat treatment of the weld area, it requires connection to equipment such as hanger slots and thick-walled slips, as well as thread machining, overall heat treatment of the drill pipe, and localized heat treatment of the joint area. This process is cumbersome, and localized heat treatment inevitably leads to softening of the transition zone, easily causing stress concentration and reducing fatigue resistance. See CN116537710A, whose drill pipe joints include threaded male and female joints, which can improve the torque resistance of the drill pipe joint. However, the problem of severe stress concentration at the threads remains unresolved, and fatigue resistance is still low. See CN118346188A, which uses titanium alloy, with thickened ends and external threads, and connects to the joint via a special thread. While this improves the thread anti-sticking and fatigue resistance, issues such as the fusion of the binary interface between titanium alloy and steel materials mean that the performance of the fusion zone differs from both the titanium and steel base materials, resulting in poor fatigue resistance stability. See CN117987685A, which improves the raw material composition ratio of the drill pipe and enhances the impact resistance of the titanium alloy drill pipe through process improvements. However, Ti, Al, V, Mo, Zr, and Ru alloys are expensive and have complex manufacturing processes, failing to address the weak performance of the transition section between the high-strength titanium alloy drill pipe and the joint, and thus the overall fatigue resistance cannot be guaranteed.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need to develop a high-strength oil drill pipe with excellent fatigue resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a fatigue-resistant high-strength oil drill pipe and its preparation method, thereby solving the technical problem of low fatigue resistance of existing high-strength oil drill pipes.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: This invention provides a fatigue-resistant, high-strength oil drill pipe, the material of which comprises the following components by mass percentage: C: 0.43%~0.46%, Mn: 12%~16%, Cr: 2.1%~2.5%, Mo: 0.12%~0.16%, V: 0.16%~0.19%, B: 0.001%~0.003%, And iron and unavoidable impurities; Among them, 0.15 < (Cr + Mo + V) / (C + Mn) < 0.23; The fatigue-resistant high-strength oil drill pipe structure includes a first drill pipe unit and a second drill pipe unit, wherein the first drill pipe unit and the second drill pipe unit are interference-fitted. One end of the first drill pipe unit is provided with a first thickened section, on which a mortise is provided; The second drill rod unit has a second thickened section at at least one end, on which a tenon is provided that is interference fit with the mortise; The thickness of the first and second thickened sections is the same.

[0007] The preferred technical solution is: The tenon includes an outwardly protruding structure extending axially from the end face of the second thickened section, the outwardly protruding structure being cylindrical or conical; the mortise includes a groove extending axially from the end face of the first thickened section that matches the outwardly protruding structure; The outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical or conical shape is provided with at least one positioning protrusion, and the inner circumferential surface of the groove is provided with a positioning groove that mates with the positioning protrusion.

[0008] The ratio of the depth of the mortise to the length of the first thickened section is 1:2; the ratio of the length of the tenon to the length of the second thickened section is 1:2.

[0009] The interference fit is 0.15mm to 0.25mm.

[0010] The outer diameter of the first thickened section is 127mm~152mm, and the inner diameter is 89mm~115mm; the outer diameter of the non-thickened section of the first drill pipe unit is 127mm~152mm, and the inner diameter is 118mm~143mm.

[0011] The outer diameter of the second thickened section is 89mm~115mm, and the inner diameter is 52mm~77mm; the outer diameter of the non-thickened section of the second drill pipe unit is 89mm~115mm, and the inner diameter is 80mm~106mm.

[0012] This invention also provides a method for preparing the aforementioned fatigue-resistant high-strength oil drill pipe, comprising the following steps: Raw materials are prepared according to the set component ratio, and two drill pipe blanks are prepared using the raw materials according to the set structural dimensions; the first drill pipe unit and the second drill pipe unit are respectively made using the two drill pipe blanks. The first drill rod unit is hot-extruded at one end to keep the outer diameter constant, increase the inner wall thickness, and reduce the inner diameter to obtain a first thickened section. A mortise is machined on the first thickened section, and an interference fit is retained. The second drill rod unit is hot-extruded at both ends to keep the outer diameter constant and increase the inner wall thickness to obtain a second thickened section with the same thickness as the first thickened section. The mating surfaces of the tenon and the mortise are lubricated. The two drill pipe units were subjected to a first heat treatment at 210℃~350℃, and then air-cooled to room temperature; The two drill pipe units were subjected to a second heat treatment at 1050℃~1150℃, followed by a cooling treatment. The two drill pipe units were subjected to a third heating treatment at 210℃~350℃, and then air-cooled to room temperature; The first drill pipe unit is heated to expand and deform it, and the mortise is inserted into the tenon of the second drill pipe unit. After cooling, a seamless mortise and tenon connection is achieved.

[0013] The hot extrusion temperature is 500℃~700℃.

[0014] During the first heat treatment, the holding time is 50 min to 120 min; During the second heating process, the heating rate is 100℃ / h~140℃ / h, the holding time is 100min~210min, and the cooling process includes: transferring the drill rod unit from the heating furnace to cooling water at 10℃~35℃, with a transfer time ≤35s, cooling to 210℃ and then air cooling to room temperature; During the third heating process, the holding time is 120 min to 230 min.

[0015] The heating temperature for causing the first drill pipe unit to expand and deform is 100℃~300℃.

[0016] The technical solution of the present invention can achieve at least some of the following beneficial effects: This invention, through a synergistic approach of improved proportions and structural modifications, significantly reduces the performance difference between the drill pipe connection and the base material. This allows the drill pipe to freely adapt to tension, compression, bending, and torsion under stress during operation, avoiding stress concentration. The overall fatigue resistance of the drill pipe is excellent, greatly improving and extending the service life of high-strength drill pipes. Specifically, based on the improved raw material proportions, this invention prepares drill pipe units with a uniform deformation rate of over 35% at room temperature. This provides a reliable foundation for improving the drill pipe connection structure, ensuring that the expansion joint of the drill pipe unit has sufficient uniform deformation reserve, ultimately achieving high strength, impact resistance, and fatigue resistance in the drill pipe after the joint connection.

[0017] The material formulation of this invention achieves a balance between the strength, machinability, impact resistance, and fatigue resistance of the material, and transforms the microstructure of the drill pipe matrix from F-type to A-type, providing a fundamental guarantee for high-strength oil drill pipe products to have large deformation capacity and reduce the tendency of stress concentration during deformation.

[0018] This invention's manufacturing method achieves the fabrication of a tenon-and-mortise connection structure by increasing the pipe end thickness and employing a unique heat treatment. This weld-free tenon-and-mortise connection structure avoids stress concentration and even cracking caused by drill pipe joint threads and welds on the pipe body. It significantly reduces the performance difference between the drill pipe connection area and the base material, allowing the drill pipe to freely adapt to tension, compression, bending, and torsion under stress during operation, thus preventing stress concentration. The drill pipe exhibits excellent overall fatigue resistance, with a 10 million-cycle tensile and compressive fatigue limit strength at the drill pipe joint ≥350MPa, a room temperature yield strength ≥750MPa, a room temperature tensile strength ≥880MPa, and an impact energy (CVN) ≥35J at -40℃. This greatly improves and extends the service life of high-strength drill pipes.

[0019] The material formulation of this invention eliminates the need for the use of precious elements such as W, Ti, Ni, and Ru, while simultaneously reducing the amount of Mo added. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the content and combination of elements, the manufacturing cost and the complexity of production organization are reduced.

[0020] Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the following description or may be learned by practicing the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] This application provides a fatigue-resistant, high-strength oil drill pipe, the material of which comprises the following components by mass percentage: C: 0.43%~0.46%, Mn: 12%~16%, Cr: 2.1%~2.5%, Mo: 0.12%~0.16%, V: 0.16%~0.19%, B: 0.001%~0.003%, And iron and unavoidable impurities; Among them, 0.15 < (Cr + Mo + V) / (C + Mn) < 0.23 is a key parameter for balancing the strength, machinability, impact resistance, and fatigue resistance of materials. If it is less than 0.15, the product's strength and machinability will be poor, and surface quality defects will easily occur. If it is greater than 0.23, the product's impact resistance will be reduced, leading to an increased tendency for stress concentration. Furthermore, it breaks the conventional limitation of Mn not exceeding 2.0% in high-strength oil drill pipe design. Combined with the synergistic effect of C, Cr, Mo, V, and B, it transforms the matrix structure of the drill pipe from F-type to A-type, providing a fundamental guarantee for high-strength oil drill pipe products to have large deformation capacity and reduce the tendency for stress concentration during deformation. See Figures 1 to 4 The fatigue-resistant high-strength oil drill pipe structure includes a first drill pipe unit 1 (i.e., the female drill pipe) and a second drill pipe unit 2 (i.e., the male drill pipe), which are interference-fitted together. Figure 1 (a) and (b) are partial structural diagrams of the first drill rod unit and the second drill rod unit near their ends, respectively. One end of the first drill rod unit 1 is provided with a first thickened section 11, on which a mortise 111 is provided. At least one end of the second drill rod unit 2 is provided with a second thickened section 21, on which a tenon 211 is provided that is interference-fitted with the mortise 111. Preferably, the thicknesses of the first and second thickened sections are the same.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the fatigue-resistant high-strength oil drill pipe joint has a tensile and compressive fatigue limit strength of ≥350MPa after 10 million cycles, a yield strength at room temperature of ≥750MPa, a tensile strength at room temperature of ≥880MPa, and an impact energy of ≥35J at -40℃. This significantly improves the service life and performance of the high-strength drill pipe under combined alternating loads such as tension, compression, bending, and torsion, as well as under conditions of corrosion, wear, temperature, and pressure.

[0029] The drill pipe in this embodiment is first prepared based on an improved raw material ratio to obtain a drill pipe unit with a uniform deformation rate of more than 35% under room temperature conditions. This provides a reliable basis for improving the drill pipe connection structure, enabling the expansion tenon and mortise connection of the drill pipe unit to have sufficient uniform deformation reserve, and ultimately achieving high strength, impact resistance and fatigue resistance of the drill pipe after the tenon and mortise connection.

Preferably, at least one positioning protrusion 212 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the conical or cylindrical shape, and a positioning groove 112 that engages with the positioning protrusion 212 is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the groove.

[0031] The angle of the mating surfaces of the tenon and mortise can be set according to actual needs.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the interference fit is 0.15mm to 0.25mm.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the outer diameter of the first thickened section 11 is 127mm~152mm, and the inner diameter is 89mm~115mm; the outer diameter of the non-thickened section of the first drill pipe unit 1 is 127mm~152mm, and the inner diameter is 118mm~143mm. The outer diameter of the second thickened section 21 is 89mm~115mm, and the inner diameter is 52mm~77mm; the outer diameter of the non-thickened section of the second drill pipe unit 2 is 89mm~115mm, and the inner diameter is 80mm~106mm.

[0035] This application also provides a method for preparing the fatigue-resistant high-strength oil drill pipe described above, comprising the following steps: S1. Drill pipe unit preparation: Raw materials are prepared according to the set component ratio, and two drill pipe blanks are prepared using the raw materials and according to the set structural dimensions; the two drill pipe blanks are used to make the first drill pipe unit and the second drill pipe unit respectively.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the drill pipe billet preparation adopts a converter or electric furnace + ladle refining + round steel manufacturing + steel pipe forming: ladle refining time ≥ 50 min; casting superheat ≤ 25℃; round steel drawing speed ≤ 1.2 m / min; billet forming temperature ≤ 1150℃, to obtain a high-cleanliness drill pipe billet.

[0037] S2. Connection structure processing: Hot extrusion is performed on one end of the first drill rod unit to keep the outer diameter of the end constant, increase the inner wall thickness, and reduce the inner diameter to obtain a first thickened section. A mortise is machined on the first thickened section, and an interference fit is retained. Hot extrusion is performed on both ends of the second drill rod unit to keep the outer diameter of the end constant and increase the inner wall thickness to obtain a second thickened section with the same thickness as the first thickened section. The mating surfaces of the tenon and the mortise are lubricated.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, a dedicated hydraulic forging press is used to thicken the end, and the hot extrusion temperature is 500℃~700℃.

[0039] As a preferred method, the mating surfaces of the tenon and mortise are carburized to increase the surface compressive stress of the mating surfaces and improve fatigue resistance.

[0040] As a preferred approach, a rounded transition is used between all thickened sections and the drill pipe unit base material (body).

[0041] S3. Heat treatment: The two drill pipe units were subjected to a first heat treatment at 210℃~350℃, and then air-cooled to room temperature; The two drill pipe units were subjected to a second heat treatment at 1050℃~1150℃, followed by a cooling treatment. The two drill pipe units were subjected to a third heating treatment at 210℃~350℃, and then air-cooled to room temperature.

The heating head is then used to heat the first drill rod unit, causing it to expand and deform. In one specific embodiment, when heating the first drill rod unit, the tail end is first fixed, and heating begins from the head end to expand and deform the mortise. Then, it is inserted into the tenon of the second drill rod unit, and the inserted end is fixed again. The tail end continues to expand and deform until the entire first drill rod unit has expanded and deformed, ensuring the uniformity of its thermal expansion.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, the tenon-and-mortise connection between the two drill rod units is completed by hydraulic transmission.

Both ends of the second drill rod unit are hot-extruded to increase the wall thickness at both ends while keeping the outer diameter unchanged, thus obtaining the second thickened section with the same thickness as the first thickened section.
