Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stainless steel seamless pipe suitably used in oil wells and gas wells (hereinafter referred to simply as oil wells). More particularly, the invention relates to a stainless steel seamless pipe having improved corrosion resistance in a severe high-temperature corrosive environment containing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and chlorine ions (Cl - ), an environment containing hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), etc.
- CO 2 carbon dioxide
- Cl - chlorine ions
- H 2 S hydrogen sulfide
- Stainless steel seamless pipes are widely used for applications such as oil well steel pipes.
- the oil well steel pipes are required to have high yield strength.
- oil wells are being actively developed in severe corrosive environments that have not received much attention such as deep oil fields, environments containing carbon dioxide gas, and so-called sour environments containing hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, oil well steel pipes are also required to have high corrosion resistance.
- Examples of oil well steel pipes used for extraction in oil fields and gas fields in an environment containing CO 2 , Cl - , etc. include 13Cr martensitic stainless steel pipes.
- 13Cr martensitic stainless steel pipes In some corrosive environments, the corrosion resistance of the 13Cr martensitic stainless steel pipes is insufficient. There is therefore a need for oil well steel pipes having higher corrosion resistance and usable in such corrosive environments.
- CCS carbon capture and storage

- Patent Literature 4 proposes a seamless steel pipe containing, in mass %, C: 0.050% or less, Si: 0.50% or less, Mn: 0.01 to 0.20%, P: 0.025% or less, S: 0.0150% or less, Cu: 0.09 to 3.00%, Cr: 15.00 to 18.00%, Ni: 4.00 to 9.00%, Mo: 1.50 to 4.00%, Al: 0.040% or less, N: 0.0150% or less, Ca: 0.0010 to 0.0040%, Ti: 0.020% or less, Nb: 0.020% or less, V: 0 to 0.20%, Co: 0 to 0.30%, and W: 0 to 2.00%.
- the "good stress corrosion cracking resistance" is defined as follows. A test specimen subjected to a stress corresponding to its yield stress at 200°C by four-point bending is immersed in a 20% by mass aqueous NaCl solution (the temperature of the aqueous solution: 200°C) in an autoclave for 720 hours.
- the aqueous NaCl solution has a pH of 4.5 adjusted by adding sodium hydrogencarbonate and is in contact with a 50 atm CO 2 -0.01 atm H 2 S gas in the autoclave.
- the stress corrosion cracking resistance is rated good when no cracking is found in the test specimen after the test and the corrosion rate determined by a weight loss method after removal of corrosion products is 0.10 mm/year or less.
- the present inventors have conducted extensive studies on various factors influencing the properties of stainless steel, particularly its stress corrosion cracking resistance. Then the inventors have noticed that, although elements such as Cr, Mo, and Cu generally known as corrosion resistant elements are effective for stress corrosion cracking resistance, the amount of a martensite phase that contributes to strength cannot be obtained stably in some cases when the amounts of these elements added are excessively large. Accordingly, the inventors have come up with an entirely new approach. Specifically, the piercing conditions in the manufacture of a seamless steel pipe are optimized and control the microstructural form of the steel. With this approach, good stress corrosion cracking resistance can be obtained without adding large amounts of corrosion resistant elements.
- the microstructural form of ferrite contained in the steel is controlled as follows.
- an optical micrograph obtained by capturing an image of a microstructure of a steel pipe in a plane including the longitudinal and wall thickness directions of the steel pipe at a magnification of 400X, ferrite is extracted by image analysis in an area of 300 ⁇ m in the longitudinal direction ⁇ 200 ⁇ m in the wall thickness direction in actual size.
- the inventors have found that good stress corrosion cracking resistance can be obtained by controlling the microstructural form such that the average ferrite filling factor is 0.80 or less.
- the "average ferrite filling factor" will be described later, and its description is omitted here.
- the "plane including the longitudinal and wall thickness directions of the steel pipe” in the invention is a cross section in the wall thickness direction that includes the pipe axis.
- the image analysis is performed in the "area of 300 ⁇ m in the longitudinal direction ⁇ 200 ⁇ m in the wall thickness direction in actual size" in any one point in the cross section.
- the "filling factor” is an indicator that can be computed using, for example, image analysis free software ImageJ used in Examples in the invention.
- image analysis free software ImageJ used in Examples in the invention.
- One of the main points of the invention is that the inventors have found that a microstructural form with good stress corrosion cracking resistance can be represented by this indicator.
- Patent Literature 1 focuses on an improvement in stress corrosion cracking resistance and describes a method for manufacturing stainless steel in which a reduction in area of a steel material at 850°C to 1250°C is 50% or more.
- the inventors manufactured a steel pipe using the manufacturing method in Patent Literature 1.
- the average ferrite filling factor could not be adjusted to 0.80 or less using only the control described in Patent Literature 1, and the target stress corrosion cracking resistance of the invention was not achieved.
- the inventors studied the relation between the manufacturing conditions of a seamless steel pipe and the average ferrite filling factor. The results are shown in Fig. 1 .
- the inventors have found that, when piercing in a piercing step is performed under the condition that a piercing speed specified according to the length of a hollow piece immediately after completion of the piercing is 3.3 m/second or less, the average ferrite filling factor can be stably 0.80 or less, as shown in Fig. 1 .
- the mechanism may be as follows.
- the amount of shear strain in the circumferential direction of the hollow piece increases, and a microstructure including ferrite and martensite entangled in a complex manner is formed. This may be the reason that the ferrite filling factor in the plane including the longitudinal and wall thickness directions of the steel pipe tends to be 0.80 or less.
- the present invention has been completed by conducting further studies on the basis of the above findings.
- the present invention is summarized as follows.
- a stainless steel seamless pipe having high strength in terms of a yield strength of 758 MPa or more and also having good stress corrosion cracking resistance can be obtained.
- the stainless steel seamless pipe having the above properties can be manufactured by optimizing the piercing conditions in the piercing step.
- Fig. 1 is a graph showing the relation between a manufacturing condition of a seamless steel pipe and an average ferrite filling factor.
- the stainless steel seamless pipe of the invention has the chemical composition described above. Frist, the reasons for the limitations on the chemical composition will be described. In the following description, “% by mass” is denoted simply as “%” unless otherwise specified.
- C is an element that is inevitably contained in the steel making process. If C is contained in an amount of 0.06% or more, corrosion resistance deteriorates. Therefore, the content of C is set to 0.06% or less.
- the content of C is preferably 0.05% or less, more preferably 0.04% or less, and still more preferably 0.03% or less. From the viewpoint of the corrosion resistance, the lower the content of C, the better. Therefore, no particular limitation is imposed on the lower limit of the content of C. However, from the viewpoint of the cost of decarbonization, the content of C is preferably 0.002% or more, more preferably 0.003% or more, and still more preferably 0.005% or more.
- carbon dioxide gas corrosion resistance carbon dioxide gas corrosion resistance
- SSC resistance sulfide stress cracking resistance
- SCC resistance stress corrosion cracking resistance
- Si is an element that functions as a deoxidizing agent. However, if Si is contained in an amount of more than 1.0%, the hot workability and the corrosion resistance deteriorate. Therefore, the content of Si is set to 1.0% or less.
- the content of Si is preferably 0.7% or less, more preferably 0.5% or less, and still more preferably 0.4% or less. No particular limitation is imposed on the lower limit of the content of Si. However, from the viewpoint of increasing the deoxidization effect, the content of Si is preferably 0.03% or more, more preferably 0.05% or more, and still more preferably 0.10% or more.
- Mn is an element that functions as a deoxidizing agent and a desulfurizing agent and improves the hot workability.
- the content of Mn is set to 0.01% or more.
- the content of Mn is preferably 0.03% or more, more preferably 0.05% or more, and still more preferably 0.10% or more.

- the content of P is preferably 0.04% or less and more preferably 0.03% or less.
- S is an element that significantly reduces the hot workability and inhibits stable operation in a hot pipe making process.
- S is present in the steel as sulfide-based inclusions and reduces the corrosion resistance. Therefore, the content of S is set to 0.005% or less.
- the content of S is preferably 0.004% or less, more preferably 0.003% or less, and still more preferably 0.002% or less.

- Cr is an element that forms a protective coating on the surface of the steel pipe and contributes to an improvement in the corrosion resistance. If the content of Cr is less than 15.2%, the desired stress corrosion cracking resistance cannot be obtained. Moreover, the carbon dioxide gas corrosion resistance deteriorates. Although Cr is an element that stabilizes the ferrite phase, the fraction of the ferrite phase is small if the content of Cr is less than 15.2%, so that the steel obtained does not have the desired phase fractions. Therefore, the content of Cr is 15.2% or more.
- the content of Cr is preferably 15.5% or more, more preferably 16.0% or more, and still more preferably 16.3% or more.
- the content of Cr is 18.0% or less.
- the content of Cr is preferably 17.5% or less, more preferably 17.2% or less, and still more preferably 17.0% or less.
- Mo stabilizes the protective coating on the surface of the steel pipe, increases resistance to pitting corrosion caused by Cl - or low pH, and thereby increases the corrosion resistance.
- the content of Mo is set to 1.5% or more.
- Mo is an element that stabilizes the ferrite phase, the fraction of the ferrite phase becomes small if the content of Mo is less than 1.5%, so that the steel obtained cannot have the desired phase fractions.
- the content of Mo is preferably 1.8% or more, more preferably 2.0% or more, and still more preferably 2.3% or more. If the content of Mo exceeds 4.3%, the fraction of the ferrite phase and the fraction of the retained austenite phase become excessively high, so that the desired strength cannot be obtained. Therefore, the content of Mo is 4.3% or less.
- the content of Mo is preferably 4.0% or less, more preferably 3.5% or less, and still more preferably 3.0% or less.
- Cu has the effect of strengthening the protective coating on the surface of the steel pipe to thereby increase the corrosion resistance, particularly the carbon dioxide gas corrosion resistance.
- the content of Cu is set to 0.5% or more.
- the content of Cu is preferably 0.8% or more, more preferably 1.5% or more, and still more preferably 2.0% or more. If the content of Cu is excessively large, the hot workability of the steel deteriorates, and outer surface flaws are formed during pipe making, so that the desired stress corrosion cracking resistance cannot be obtained.
- Cu is an element that stabilizes the austenite phase, the fraction of the ferrite phase decreases if an excessively large amount of Cu is added, and the steel obtained cannot have the desired phase fractions. Therefore, the content of Cu is 3.5% or less.
- the content of Cu is preferably 3.2% or less, more preferably 3.0% or less, and still more preferably 2.7% or less.
- Ni maintains the fraction of the austenite phase at high temperature and allows the required amount of the martensite phase in the invention to be obtained, thereby contributing to the strength enhancement.
- the content of Ni is set to 3.5% or more.
- Ni is an element that stabilizes the austenite phase, the fraction of the austenite phase at high temperature becomes small if the content of Ni is less than 3.5%, so that the desired phase fraction of the martensite phase transformed from the austenite is not obtained.
- the content of Ni is preferably 3.8% or more, more preferably 4.0% or more, and still more preferably 4.3% or more. If Ni is contained in an amount of more than 5.2%, the fraction of the austenite phase becomes excessively large.
- the hot workability of the steel deteriorates, and flaws are likely to be caused during hot rolling, so that the desired stress corrosion cracking resistance may not always be obtained.
- the austenite forming ability becomes high, the fraction of the ferrite phase decreases accordingly, so that the steel obtained cannot have the desired phase fractions. Therefore, the content of Ni is 5.2% or less.
- the content of Ni is preferably 5.0% or less.
- Al is an element that functions as a deoxidizing agent. However, if Al is contained in an amount of more than 0.10%, the corrosion resistance deteriorates. Therefore, the content of Al is set to 0.10% or less.
- the content of Al is preferably 0.07% or less and more preferably 0.05% or less. No particular limitation is imposed on the lower limit of the content of Al. However, from the viewpoint of increasing the deoxidization effect, the content of Al is preferably 0.005% or more, more preferably 0.010% or more, and still more preferably 0.015% or more.
- N is an element inevitably contained during the steel making process but is an element that increases the strength of the steel.
- the content of N is 0.10% or less.
- the content of N is preferably 0.07% or less, more preferably 0.05% or less, and still more preferably 0.03% or less. No particular limitation is imposed on the lower limit of the content of N.
- the content of N is preferably 0.002% or more, more preferably 0.003% or more, and still more preferably 0.005% or more.
- O oxygen
- the content of O is set to 0.010% or less.
- the content of O may be 0%. Since an excessive reduction in the content of O causes an increase in the cost of steel making, the content of O is more preferably 0.0005% or more.
- the stainless steel seamless pipe of the invention has the chemical composition containing the above-described components with the balance being Fe and incidental impurities.

- Average ferrite filling factor 0.80 or less
- the stainless steel seamless pipe of the invention has a microstructural form in which the average ferrite filling factor is 0.80 or less.
- the average ferrite filling factor is determined by the following method.

- the Solidity outputted from the ImageJ corresponds to the filling factor of each ferrite grain.
- the average of the Solidity values of the ferrite grains is defined as the average ferrite filling factor in the invention.
- the filling factor is close to 1. However, when the convex hull has a shape with the martensite phase present thereinside, the filling factor is small.
- the ferrite phase which is richer in corrosion resistant elements such as Cr and Mo, acts as a barrier to occurrence of pitting corrosion serving as the starting point of stress corrosion cracking.
- the filling factor is large, i.e., when the ratio of the ferrite phase in the convex hulls surrounding the ferrite grains is high, pitting corrosion is unlikely to occur in the ferrite portions.
- the martensite phase and the ferrite phase are not entangled in a complex manner. Specifically, in this microstructure, the martensite phase is densely present. Therefore, pitting corrosion is likely to occur and grow in the martensite portions, and these martensite portions are disadvantageous for stress corrosion cracking.
- the filling factor is small, i.e., when the ratio of the ferrite phase in the convex hulls surrounding the ferrite grains is small, the ferrite phase and the martensite phase are entangled in a complex manner.
- the martensite phase which is disadvantageous for pitting corrosion, is surrounded by the ferrite phase. Therefore, even when slight pitting corrosion occurs, the pitting corrosion is unlikely to grow, and therefore good stress corrosion cracking resistance is obtained.

- the piercing step is controlled such that the piercing speed specified based on the length of the hollow piece immediately after completion of the piercing step, i.e., after the piercing step but before a subsequent rolling step, is 3.3 m/second or less. This is because, by appropriately controlling the piercing step such that the piercing speed satisfies the above range, the average ferrite filling factor can be adjusted to 0.80 or less.
- the piercing speed is determined by dividing the length of the hollow piece immediately after the piercing by the piercing time.
- the "length of the hollow piece immediately after the piercing” is the total length (unit: m) of the hollow piece in the longitudinal direction immediately after completion of the piercing step.
- the "piercing time” is the time (unit: second) required from when a rolling load by the piercer is applied to the steel material until the rolling load is no longer applied to the pierced steel material. In the piercing mill, the rolling load varies with time.
- the state in which the rolling load is applied means a state in which the rolling load differs from that when the steel material is not in contact with the rolls.
- the state in which no rolling load is applied means a state in which the rolling load, which varies with time, returns to the level when the steel material is not in contact with the rolls.
- an indicator such as the displacement of a roll or a torque value that varies when the steel material is in contact with the rolls may be used instead of the rolling load.
- the piercing speed is preferably 2.0 m/second or less, more preferably 1.0 m/second or less, and still more preferably 0.5 m/second or less. It is considered that, as the piercing speed decreases, the average ferrite filling factor decreases. Therefore, the lower limit of the piercing speed is not specified. However, if the piercing speed is extremely small, the manufacturing efficiency deteriorates. Therefore, the piercing speed is preferably 0.05 m/second or more, more preferably 0.10 m/second or more, and still more preferably 0.2 m/second or more.
