Definitions

  • the present invention relates to stainless steel and more specifically to stainless steel used for oil country tubular goods for use in gas wells or oil wells.
  • Oil or natural gas produced from oil wells or gas wells contains associated corroding gas as such as carbon dioxide gas and hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, oil country tubular goods used for producing oil or natural gas need high corrosion resistance.
  • Carbon steel or low alloy steel has been used as a steel for oil country tubular goods. As the goods have come to be used in a tougher corroding environment in an oil well or a gas well, SUS420 martensitic stainless steel (13% Cr-based steel) having a Cr content of about 13% or stainless steel having high corrosion resistance such as improved 13% Cr-based steel produced by adding Ni to the 13% Cr-based steel has been used.
  • Patent Document 1 JP 2005-336595 A
  • Patent Document 2 JP 2006-16637 A
  • Patent Document 3 JP 2007-332442 A
  • the Cr content of the stainless steel pipe is from 15.5% to 18% which is greater than that of the conventional 13% Cr-based steel.
  • the steel has a two-phase structure including a ferrite phase and a martensite phase, so that the hot workability of the oil country tubular good is improved.
  • the two-phase structure could lower the corrosion resistance, while when Ni, Mo, and Cu that improve the corrosion resistance are added such that Cr+0.65Ni+0.6Mo+0.55Cu ⁇ 20C ⁇ 19.5 is established, the reduction in the corrosion resistance of the oil country tubular good is prevented.
  • the Cr content of the stainless steel is from 15.5% to 18% and Ni that improves the corrosion resistance is contained.
  • the chemical composition of the stainless steel disclosed by the document is similar to that in Patent Document 1, but Mo is not an essential element, and therefore a less costly alloy design is proposed.
  • Cu is also an optional element.
  • the stainless steel disclosed by Patent Document 3 contains 14% to 18% Cr as well as Ni, Mo, and Cu, so that high corrosion resistance is obtained. Furthermore, the steel includes a martensite phase and 3% to 15% austenite phase by volume, and therefore the toughness improves.
  • Patent Documents 1 to 3 surely contain a larger amount of Cr than the conventional 13% Cr-based steel and alloy elements such as Ni, Mo, and Cu are added, so that the corrosion rate in a high temperature corroding environment is reduced.
  • the corrosion rate (mm/yr) was examined and it was established that the corrosion rate was reduced (see Table 2 in Patent Document 1).
  • Cr and Mo are ferrite forming elements and therefore if at least 16 mass % Cr and a small amount of Mo are contained, a major part of the structure of the steel becomes a ferrite phase and therefore high strength cannot be obtained.
  • an austenite phase at high temperatures is stabilized by adding Ni that is an austenite forming element, so that a martensite phase is formed by quenching and a high strength steel structure is obtained.
  • Ni an austenite forming element
  • Ms point the starting temperature for martensite transformation
  • a structure mainly including a martensite phase and about at least 10% ferrite phase by volume is formed and high strength can be provided.
  • the copper (Cu) effectively enhances a ferrite phase, and therefore a high strength structure can be provided by adding Cu.
  • Cu reduces the corrosion rate in a high temperature chloride aqueous solution environment and improves the SCC resistance.
  • stainless steel having prescribed strength and reduced corrosion rate can be provided when the steel contains 16% to 18% Cr, more than 2% and not more than 4% Mo, 3.5% to 7% Ni, and 1.5% to 4% Cu.

At the time, according to ASTM G39, the amount of bending of each of the specimens was determined so that stress applied on each of the specimens was equal to the yield stress of each of the specimens.
  • the bent specimens were each immersed for one month in a 25 wt % NaCl aqueous solution in an autoclave at 204° C. (400 F) having CO 2 enclosed therein under a pressure of 30 atm. After the immersion for one month, the specimens were examined for the presence of SCC. More specifically, a longitudinal section of each specimen was observed with a 100 ⁇ magnification optical microscope and examined for the presence/absence of SCC by visual inspection. The weight of each specimen was measured before and after the test. From the difference between the measured weights, the weight loss of each specimen caused by corrosion was obtained and the corrosion rate was calculated based on the weight loss.
  • the “YS” column in Table 3 represents the yield stress (MPa) of each of the numbered steel plates obtained by the tensile tests.
  • the “ferrite phase” and “residual austenite phase” columns represent the volume percentages (%) of the ferrite phase and the residual austenite phase in each of the steel plates.
  • the “NO SCC” indicates that there was no SCC generated at the four-point bending test specimen
  • the “SCC PRESENT” indicates that there was SCC.
  • the “ ⁇ 0.1” indicates that the corrosion rate was less than 0.1 g/(m 2 ⁇ hr), while the “ ⁇ 0.1” indicates that the corrosion rate was not less than 0.1 g/(m 2 ⁇ hr).
  • the steels with Nos. 1 to 12 did not have any SCC and their corrosion rates were all less than 0.1 g/(m 2 ⁇ hr). Their yield stress values were all 654 MPa or more.
  • the steels with Nos. 13, 15 and 17 had SCC because their Mo, Cu, and Ni contents were small.
  • the steel with No. 14 had SCC because it contained only a small amount of Cr, and its corrosion rate was not less than 0.1 g/(m 2 ⁇ hr).
  • the steel with No. 16 had SCC because it did not contain REM.
  • the stainless steel according to the invention can be applied as oil country tubular goods and particularly suitably applied to an oil country tubular good for use in a carbon dioxide gas contained, high temperature chloride aqueous solution environment at 150° C. or higher.
