Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、油井またはガス井に使用される油井用材料で、高CO環境下での使用に適し、80ksi(552〜655MPa)グレードの降伏強度で高靭性を有する、安価な高クロム鋼およびその製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、高深度の井戸、高温・高圧ガス田、あるいは寒冷地などさまざまな環境の油井・ガス井の開拓が進んでいる。これに伴い、高CO分圧下による腐食、さらにHSが含まれる油井の場合にはHSに起因する腐食割れ(SSC)も大きな問題となるため、これらの過酷な腐食環境に耐え、かつ深層用の油井管に必要な80ksi(552MPa)以上の強度、高靭性を併せ持つ鋼管の需要が高まってきた。
【0003】
従来、油井用材料にはAISI(米国鉄鋼協会)の410鋼または420鋼が使用されており、これらは比較的安価で、80ksi以上の降伏強度が熱処理により得られる材料であるが、十分な耐食性を示すとは言えない。また製造過程で水冷を行うことができず、製造効率を阻害している。
これまでに、上述の強度、高靭性、高耐食性を有するマルテンサイト系ステンレス鋼、およびその製造方法の提案がいくつかなされている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
例えば、特許文献1には、C:0.005〜0.04%、Cr:12〜17%、Ni:1.5〜6.0%を含む鋼およびその製造方法が提案されているが、強度範囲が80〜110kgf/mm(784〜1078MPa)で、汎用の80ksi(552〜655MPa)グレードより高強度であり、かかる高強度のものにおいては高CO環境下での耐食性には問題がある。
特許文献2には、C:0.15%以下、Cr:9.0〜16.0%、Ni:0.2〜2.5%を含む鋼およびその製造方法が提案されているが、制御圧延を要するため、製造工程の効率に問題があり、また製造設備上の制約もある。
特許文献3には、C:0.03%以下、Cr:11〜17%、Ni:3.5〜7.0%を含む鋼ならびにその製造方法が提案されているが、3.5%以上のNi添加を必要とするため経済性に難点がある。
このように従来技術においては、2MPa以上の高CO環境下での使用に適し、80ksi(552〜655MPa)グレードの降伏強度で高靭性を有し、かつ経済性に優れた油井管は得られていない。
【0006】
本発明者らは、これらの従来技術の問題点を解決すべく種々検討した結果、適切な強度と十分な靭性を有し、さらには2MPa以上の高CO環境下での使用に適するとともに、経済性にも優れた高クロム鋼を見い出したものである。したがって、本発明は、かかる知見に基づき、80ksi(552〜655MPa)グレードの降伏強度で高靱性を有する高クロム鋼およびその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、C量を低く制限して炭化物の析出を抑制することで、耐食性を改善し、製造時の水冷も可能とした。C量の制限に伴い、Cr量を420鋼など従来材の添加量13%より低くしても同等の耐食性を持つことを見い出し、さらにCr量の制限に伴いNi量を2%程度に抑えてコスト低減を図った。溶製したインゴットを熱間成形した後、加熱後焼入れ、焼戻しの温度範囲を変化させ、適切な強度−靭性の相関を検討した。
本発明はこのような知見に基づいて構成されたものであって、その要旨は以下のとおりである。

【0013】
本発明の第2の製造方法は、第1の製造方法における鋼の化学成分に加えて、重量%で、Mo:0.5%以下、Nb:0.02%以下、Ti:0.03%以下、B:0.005%以下、V:0.1%以下、Ca:0.005%以下のうち1種以上を含有し、残部が鉄および不可避的不純物からなる鋼材を熱間成形後冷却し、780〜960℃の範囲で加熱後焼入れを行い、600〜750℃で焼戻しを行うことを特徴としている。

【0016】
本発明の開発過程において、化学成分ならびに熱処理条件を変化させて、強度、靭性、高CO環境下での耐食性、HS環境下での耐SSC性、および熱間加工性を調査した。その結果、本発明の化学成分ならびに熱処理条件の範囲に制御することにより、高CO頻境下で使用されるのに適した、552MPa以上の降伏強度を有する高クロム鋼を得ることを見い出した。
【0017】
以下、本発明において化学成分を前記の範囲に限定した理由について説明する。
【0018】
C:0.05%以下
Cは、固溶強化および析出強化により強度を上昇させる。含有量が0.05%を超えると、靭性ならびに耐食性が劣化する。従って、C量を0.05%以下とする。
【0019】
Si:0.5%以下
Siは、脱酸の効果がある。含有量が0.5%を超えると靭性が劣化する。従って、Si量は0.5%以下に制限する。
【0020】
Mn:2.0%以下
Mnは、Siと同様に脱酸の効果がある。含有量が2.0%を超えると靭性が劣化する。従って、Mn量は2.0%以下に制限する。
【0021】
P:0.05%以下
Pは、不純物元素で、靭性の劣化を招くため、なるべく低い方が好ましい。含有量が0.05%を超えると靱性の劣化が著しいので、P量は0.05%以下に制限する。
【0022】
S:0.005%以下
Sは、Pと同様に不純物元素で、靭性の劣化を招き、熱間加工性も低下させるため、なるべく低い方が好ましい。従って、S量は0.005%以下に制限する。
【0023】
Cr:10〜12.5%
Crは、耐食性を向上させる効果がある。添加量が10%未満では十分な耐食性が得られない。また12.5%を超えて添加しても効果は飽和する。従って、Cr量は10〜12.5%の範囲に制限する。
【0024】
Ni:1.5〜3.0%
Niは、耐食性ならびに靭性を向上させる効果がある。1.5%未満ではδフェライトが生成しやすくなり、熱間加工性が低下する。また3.0%を超えて添加しても効果は飽和する。従って、Ni量は1.5〜3.0%の範囲に制限する。
【0025】
N:0.02%以下
Nは、固溶強化および析出強化により強度を上昇させるが、V、Nb、Tiなどと結合して粗大な析出物を形成し、靭性を劣化させ、熱間加工性を低下させる。従って、N量は0.02%以下に制限する。
【0026】
Al:0.01〜0.1%
Alは、脱酸の効果がある。添加量が0.01%未満では十分な効果が得られない。0.1%を超えて添加すると、窒化によりAlNを形成するなどして、粒界強度を低下させ靭性を劣化させる。従って、Alの添加量は0.0l〜0.1%に制限する。
なお、残部は鉄および不可避的不純物である。
【0027】
本発明では、前記第1の発明の化学成分にさらに次の化学成分を加えて強度、靭性、耐食性、耐SSC性ならびに熱間加工性の向上を図るものである。以下、化学成分の限定理由について説明する。
【0029】
V:0.1%以下
Vは、Nと窒化物を形成し強度を上昇させる効果がある。0.1%を超えて添加しても効果は飽和し、析出物の粗大化により靭性が劣化する。従って、V量は0.1%以下に制限する。
【0030】
Ca:0.005%以下
Caは、硫化物の形態を制御し、靭性ならびに耐食性を向上させる効果がある。0.005%を超えて添加すると、Ca系介在物の増加により靭性、耐食性の劣化を招く。従って、Ca量は0.005%以下に制限する。
【0031】
Mo:0.5%以下
Moは、耐SSC性向上の効果がある。0.5%を超えて添加すると、熱間加工性が低下する。従って、Moの添加量は0.5%以下に制限する。
【0032】
Nb:0.02%以下
Nbは、焼戻し時に析出する微細なNb炭化物により強度を上昇させるとともに、焼入れ時に析出するNb炭化物によりオーステナイト粒を微細化し靭性を向上させる。0.02%を超えて添加すると、高強度となり、適切な強度範囲に制御できない。従って、Nbの添加量は0.02%以下に制限する。
【0033】
Ti:0.03%以下、0.08%以下(Mo添加時)
Tiは、炭化物、窒化物として析出することで鋼中のC、Nの固溶量を低減させ、強度を低下させる。0.03%を超えて添加しても効果が飽和し、かつ粗大な析出物、介在物を形成して耐SSC性を低下させる。従って、Ti添加量は0.03%以下とする。
ただし、0.1〜0.5%のMoと同時に添加すると、成長速度の遅いTiMoCを形成し、粒の粗大化を抑制する。
Mo添加量との関係から、0.08%までの添加は効果があるが、0.08%を超えて添加しても効果が飽和し、耐SSC性を低下させる。従って、Tiの添加量は0.08%以下とする。
【0034】
B:0.005%以下
Bは、粒界強化の効果がある。0.005%を超えて含有すると、粒界に低融点の化合物を生じやすくなり、熱間加工性が劣化する。従って、Bの添加量は0.005%以下とする。
【0035】
次に、本発明における製造条件について説明する。
【0036】
焼入れ加熱温度:780〜960℃
焼入れ時の加熱温度が780℃未満では、加熱時に完全なオーステナイト単相組織とならないため、その後冷却してもマルテンサイト一相組織が得られず不安定な組織となる。一方、960℃を超えて加熱すると、オーステナイト粒が粗大化し靭性が劣化する。従って、焼入れ加熱温度は780〜960℃の範囲とする。
【0037】
焼戻し温度:600〜750℃
本発明が対象とする鋼は、焼入れままでは強度が高く、靭性も十分でないため、適正な焼戻しをする必要がある。焼戻し温度が600℃未満では所望の強度が得られない。また750℃を超えると靭性が低下する。従って、焼戻し温度は600〜750℃の範囲とする。
【0038】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の鋼の溶製は、転炉、電気炉、その他、化学成分を発明の範囲内に制御できる製造方法であれば、いずれの方法を用いてもよい。溶製された鋼は、主として油井用鋼管として用いるため、鋳造あるいは圧延でビレット等の形状とする。その後、押出型穿孔機もしくは傾斜ロール型穿孔圧延機による穿孔等のプロセス、圧延プロセス等を経て継目無鋼管とし、所定の熱処理を施す。

また、図1は、所定の焼入れ温度から焼戻したときの本発明鋼No.1とNo.6の降伏強度とvE−40の関係を示したものである。この図から、本発明鋼は降伏強度が80ksi(552〜655MPa)グレードで極めて高い靱性を有していることが分かる。
一方、製造条件は発明範囲内であるが、化学成分が発明範囲を外れている比較鋼No.30〜51は、強度、靭性、耐食性、耐SSC性、熱間加工性のいずれかが目標値に到達していない。また、化学成分は発明範囲内であるが、製造条件が発明範囲を外れている比較鋼No.52〜55は、強度もしくは靭性のいずれかが目標値に到達していない。
【0046】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is an oil well material used for oil wells or gas wells, suitable for use in a high CO 2 environment, having an 80 ksi (552 to 655 MPa) grade yield strength and high toughness, and an inexpensive high chromium steel and It relates to the manufacturing method.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, the development of oil and gas wells in various environments, such as deep wells, high-temperature and high-pressure gas fields, and cold regions, has been progressing. Accordingly, corrosion by high CO 2 partial pressure, since the corrosion cracking (SSC) is also a big problem due to the H 2 S in the case of oil wells that contain more H 2 S, withstand these severe corrosive environment In addition, the demand for steel pipes having both strength and high toughness of 80 ksi (552 MPa) or more necessary for oil well pipes for deep layers has increased.
[0003]
Conventionally, AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute) steel 410 or 420 has been used as oil well materials, which are relatively inexpensive and yield strength of 80 ksi or higher by heat treatment, but have sufficient corrosion resistance. It cannot be said that it shows. In addition, water cooling cannot be performed in the manufacturing process, which hinders manufacturing efficiency.
To date, several proposals have been made for martensitic stainless steel having the above-described strength, high toughness, and high corrosion resistance, and a method for producing the same.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a steel containing C: 0.005 to 0.04%, Cr: 12 to 17%, and Ni: 1.5 to 6.0%, and a manufacturing method thereof. The strength range is 80 to 110 kgf / mm 2 (784 to 1078 MPa), which is higher than the general-purpose 80 ksi (552 to 655 MPa) grade, and in such a high strength, there is a problem with the corrosion resistance in a high CO 2 environment. is there.
Patent Document 2 proposes a steel containing C: 0.15% or less, Cr: 9.0 to 16.0%, Ni: 0.2 to 2.5%, and a manufacturing method thereof. Since rolling is required, there is a problem in the efficiency of the manufacturing process, and there are restrictions on manufacturing equipment.
Patent Document 3 proposes a steel containing C: 0.03% or less, Cr: 11-17%, Ni: 3.5-7.0%, and a manufacturing method thereof, but 3.5% or more. Therefore, there is a problem in economic efficiency because of the need for addition of Ni.
Thus, in the prior art, an oil well pipe suitable for use in a high CO 2 environment of 2 MPa or more, having a yield strength of 80 ksi (552 to 655 MPa) grade, high toughness, and excellent in economic efficiency is obtained. Not.
[0006]
As a result of various studies to solve the problems of these prior arts, the present inventors have suitable strength and sufficient toughness, and further suitable for use in a high CO 2 environment of 2 MPa or more, We have found high-chromium steel with excellent economic efficiency. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a high chromium steel having high toughness with a yield strength of 80 ksi (552 to 655 MPa) grade and a method for producing the same based on such knowledge.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The inventors of the present invention limited the amount of C to a low level to suppress the precipitation of carbides, thereby improving the corrosion resistance and enabling water cooling during production. As the amount of C is limited, it is found that even if the amount of Cr is lower than the added amount of 13% of conventional steel such as 420 steel, it has the same corrosion resistance, and the amount of Ni is suppressed to about 2% due to the limitation of the amount of Cr. Cost reduction was attempted. After hot forming the melted ingot, the temperature range of quenching and tempering after heating was changed, and an appropriate strength-toughness correlation was examined.
The present invention is configured based on such knowledge, and the gist thereof is as follows.
[0008]

[0010]
The high chromium steel having high toughness according to the second invention contains, in addition to the above chemical components, wt%, Mo: 0.1 to 0.5%, Ti: 0.08% or less, and the balance There is made of iron and unavoidable impurities thereof.
[0012]
In the first production method of the present invention, C: 0.05% or less, Si: 0.5% or less, Mn: 2.0% or less, P: 0.05% or less, S: 0.005% or less, Cr: 10 to 12.5%, Ni: 1.5 to 3.0%, N: 0.02% or less, Al: 0.01 to 0.1%, the balance Is characterized in that it is cooled after hot forming a steel material comprising iron and inevitable impurities, and after being heated in the range of 780 to 960 ° C., tempered at 600 to 750 ° C.
[0013]
In the second production method of the present invention, in addition to the chemical components of the steel in the first production method , by weight%, Mo: 0.5% or less, Nb: 0.02% or less, Ti: 0.03% In the following, B: 0.005% or less, V: 0.1% or less, Ca: 0.005% or less, one or more of the steel materials , the balance of iron and inevitable impurities , the steel after hot forming after cooling And tempering is performed after heating in the range of 780 to 960 ° C, and tempering is performed at 600 to 750 ° C.
[0014]
The third production method of the present invention contains, in addition to the chemical components of steel in the first production method , wt%, Mo: 0.1 to 0.5%, Ti: 0.08% or less, A steel material whose balance is iron and inevitable impurities is cooled after hot forming, quenched after heating in the range of 780 to 960 ° C., and tempered at 600 to 750 ° C.
[0015]

[0016]
In the development process of the present invention, the chemical composition and heat treatment conditions were changed, and the strength, toughness, corrosion resistance under high CO 2 environment, SSC resistance under H 2 S environment, and hot workability were investigated. As a result, it has been found that a high chromium steel having a yield strength of 552 MPa or more suitable for use under high CO 2 conditions is obtained by controlling the chemical composition and heat treatment conditions of the present invention. .
[0017]
Hereinafter, the reason why the chemical component is limited to the above range in the present invention will be described.
[0018]
C: 0.05% or less C increases strength by solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening. When the content exceeds 0.05%, toughness and corrosion resistance deteriorate. Therefore, the C content is 0.05% or less.
[0019]
Si: 0.5% or less Si has a deoxidizing effect. If the content exceeds 0.5%, the toughness deteriorates. Therefore, the Si content is limited to 0.5% or less.
[0020]
Mn: 2.0% or less Mn has a deoxidizing effect in the same manner as Si. If the content exceeds 2.0%, the toughness deteriorates. Therefore, the amount of Mn is limited to 2.0% or less.
[0021]
P: 0.05% or less P is an impurity element, which causes toughness deterioration, and is preferably as low as possible. If the content exceeds 0.05%, the toughness is remarkably deteriorated, so the P content is limited to 0.05% or less.
[0022]
S: 0.005% or less S is an impurity element like P, and causes deterioration of toughness and lowers hot workability. Therefore, S is preferably as low as possible. Therefore, the amount of S is limited to 0.005% or less.
[0023]
Cr: 10 to 12.5%
Cr has the effect of improving the corrosion resistance. If the addition amount is less than 10%, sufficient corrosion resistance cannot be obtained. The effect is saturated even if added over 12.5%. Therefore, the Cr content is limited to a range of 10 to 12.5%.
[0024]
Ni: 1.5-3.0%
Ni has an effect of improving corrosion resistance and toughness. If it is less than 1.5%, δ ferrite tends to be generated, and hot workability is lowered. The effect is saturated even if added over 3.0%. Therefore, the amount of Ni is limited to a range of 1.5 to 3.0%.
[0025]
N: 0.02% or less N increases strength by solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening, but combines with V, Nb, Ti, etc. to form coarse precipitates, deteriorates toughness, and hot workability Reduce. Therefore, the N content is limited to 0.02% or less.
[0026]
Al: 0.01 to 0.1%
Al has a deoxidizing effect. If the addition amount is less than 0.01%, a sufficient effect cannot be obtained. If it exceeds 0.1%, AlN is formed by nitriding, and the grain boundary strength is lowered to deteriorate toughness. Therefore, the addition amount of Al is limited to 0.0 l to 0.1%.
The balance is iron and inevitable impurities .
[0027]
In the present invention, the following chemical component is further added to the chemical component of the first invention to improve the strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, SSC resistance and hot workability. Hereinafter, the reasons for limiting the chemical components will be described.
[0029]
V: 0.1% or less V has the effect of forming a nitride with N and increasing the strength. Even if added over 0.1%, the effect is saturated, and the toughness deteriorates due to coarsening of precipitates. Therefore, the V amount is limited to 0.1% or less.
[0030]
Ca: 0.005% or less Ca has an effect of controlling the form of sulfide and improving toughness and corrosion resistance. When added over 0.005%, the Ca inclusions increase, leading to deterioration of toughness and corrosion resistance. Therefore, the Ca content is limited to 0.005% or less.
[0031]
Mo: 0.5% or less Mo has an effect of improving SSC resistance. If it exceeds 0.5%, hot workability is lowered. Therefore, the addition amount of Mo is limited to 0.5% or less.
[0032]
Nb: 0.02% or less Nb increases strength by fine Nb carbides precipitated during tempering, and refines austenite grains and improves toughness by Nb carbides precipitated during quenching. If added over 0.02%, the strength becomes high and cannot be controlled within an appropriate strength range. Therefore, the amount of Nb added is limited to 0.02% or less.
[0033]
Ti: 0.03% or less, 0.08% or less (when Mo is added)
Ti precipitates as carbides and nitrides, thereby reducing the solid solution amount of C and N in the steel and lowering the strength. Even if added over 0.03%, the effect is saturated, and coarse precipitates and inclusions are formed to lower the SSC resistance. Therefore, the amount of Ti added is 0.03% or less.
However, when added simultaneously with 0.1 to 0.5% Mo, TiMoC having a slow growth rate is formed, and coarsening of the grains is suppressed.
From the relationship with the amount of addition of Mo, addition up to 0.08% is effective, but even if added over 0.08%, the effect is saturated and SSC resistance is reduced. Therefore, the addition amount of Ti is set to 0.08% or less.
[0034]
B: 0.005% or less B has an effect of strengthening grain boundaries. When the content exceeds 0.005%, a compound having a low melting point tends to be generated at the grain boundary, and the hot workability is deteriorated. Therefore, the addition amount of B is 0.005% or less.
[0035]
Next, manufacturing conditions in the present invention will be described.
[0036]
Quenching heating temperature: 780-960 ° C
When the heating temperature at the time of quenching is less than 780 ° C., a complete austenite single phase structure is not formed at the time of heating, and therefore a martensite single phase structure cannot be obtained even after cooling, resulting in an unstable structure. On the other hand, when heated above 960 ° C., austenite grains become coarse and toughness deteriorates. Accordingly, the quenching heating temperature is in the range of 780 to 960 ° C.
[0037]
Tempering temperature: 600-750 ° C
The steel that is the subject of the present invention has high strength and is not sufficiently tough when it is quenched, so that proper tempering is required. If the tempering temperature is less than 600 ° C., the desired strength cannot be obtained. Moreover, when it exceeds 750 degreeC, toughness will fall. Accordingly, the tempering temperature is in the range of 600 to 750 ° C.
[0038]
