Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to the field of heat treating thick-walled forgings. More specifically, the invention relates to heat treating thick-walled forgings using low alloy steel of a specific composition and a controlled tempering and quenching process.
  • Well control is an important aspect of oil and gas exploration.
  • safety devices When drilling a well, for example, in oil and gas exploration applications, safety devices must be put in place to prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment resulting from unexpected events associated with the drilling activities.
  • Drilling wells in oil and gas exploration involves penetrating a variety of subsurface geologic structures, or "layers.” Occasionally, a wellbore will penetrate a layer having a formation pressure substantially higher than the pressure maintained in the wellbore. When this occurs, the well is said to have "taken a kick.”
  • the pressure increase associated with the kick is generally produced by an influx of formation fluids (which may be a liquid, a gas, or a combination thereof) , into the wellbore.
  • the relatively high pressure kick tends to propagate from a point of entry in the wellbore uphole (from a high pressure region to a low pressure region).
  • drilling fluid, well tools, and other drilling structures may be blown out of the wellbore. These "blowouts” may result in catastrophic destruction of the drilling equipment (including, for example, the drilling rig) and substantial injury or death of rig personnel.
  • blowout preventers are typically installed at the surface or on the sea floor in deep water drilling arrangements to effectively seal a wellbore until active measures can be taken to control the kick. BOPs may be activated so that kicks are adequately controlled and "circulated out" of the system.
  • FIG. 1 shows a prior art annular BOP 101.
  • the annular BOP 101 includes a housing 102, with a bore 102 extending therethrough and disposed about a longitudinal axis 103.
  • a packing unit 105 is disposed within the annular BOP 101 and is also about the longitudinal axis 103.
  • the packing unit 105 includes an elastomeric annular body 107 and a plurality of metallic inserts 109.
  • the annular BOP 101 is actuated by fluid pumped into opening 113 of a piston chamber 112. The fluid applies pressure to a piston 117, which moves the piston 117 upward to compress the packing 105 about the longitudinal axis 103.
  • the packing unit 105 will seal about the drillpipe.
  • the annular BOP 101 goes through an analogous reverse movement when fluid is pumped into opening 115 of the piston chamber. The fluid then instead translates downward force to the piston 117, allowing the packing unit to radially expand.
  • a removable head 119 also enables access to the packing unit 105, such that the packing unit 105 can be serviced or changed if necessary. Because of the high pressures that BOPs must sustain, it is important that the walls of the BOP are thick and of uniform mechanical properties; tensile strength and hardness.
  • Forgings such as the forgings used in BOPs, are generally made of low alloy steel which has been heat treated to increase strength and meet specific minimum mechanical propeities.
  • Heat treatment of the low alloy steel is typically done by normalizing, austenitizing, quenching, and tempering the steel. Normalizing involves heating the steel above a critical temperature for a sufficient period of time to refine the ferritic grain size of the steel, reduce residual nonuniform stresses and to produce more uniform mechanical properties. The forging is then allowed to cool in still air from the normalizing temperature. In order to achieve maximum hardness, the metals are liquid quenched after austenitizing. Austenitizing involves heating the steel above a critical temperature for a sufficient period of time to transform the grain structure to austenite preparatory to quenching.
  • the austenitized metal is immersed into a quench bath of a quench media, such as water, oil or polymer and in very rare cases brine which may be vigorously agitated to achieve a critical rate of cooling to achieve transformation to a predominately bainitic or martensitic micro structure, to increase the hardness and mechanical strength of the metal.
  • a quench media such as water, oil or polymer and in very rare cases brine which may be vigorously agitated to achieve a critical rate of cooling to achieve transformation to a predominately bainitic or martensitic micro structure, to increase the hardness and mechanical strength of the metal.
  • the low alloy steed used for this application is always tempered by reheating the forging to a temperature below the lower critical temperature, which reduces the high strength and hardness of the as quenched metal and increases the ductility and toughness of the metal. Tempering is also known as “drawing the temper” or more simply “drawing.”
  • the metal mass deepest inside of the forging will be most difficult to increase the metal's mechanical properties and hardness because the mass cannot be quenched as rapidly and in many cases fails to meet the minimum critical cooling rate for phase transformation to occur.
  • Depth of hardenability is the ability of a metal to respond to heat treatment uniformly in relatively large section thicknesses.
  • Low alloy steel has been known to the industry for good depth of hardenability.
  • the low alloy steel AISI 4130 has a yield strength range from 75 to 80 Ksi with a depth of hardenability generally limited to about two inches, meaning the given yield strength range can be expected to be maintained in a region of two inches from the heat treatment process.
  • AISI 4140 another low alloy steel, has a similar yield strength range from 75 to 80 Ksi and a range generally limited to six inches for depth of hardenability.
  • cross-sections of steel can be more than twenty inches thick. Therefore, steel compositions with large depths of hardenability in order to achieve high strength levels are desired.
  • the present invention relates to a method for heat treating thick-walled forgings.
  • the method includes heating a low alloy steel to an austenitizing temperature, wherein the low alloy steel comprises carbon of about 0.05-0.2 wt.%, manganese of about 0.3-0.8 wt.%, and nickel of about 0.25-1.0 wt.%.
  • the method further includes quenching the low alloy steel in a quench media, and then tempering the low alloy steel for less than about thirty minutes per inch of critical section thickness plus about two hours.
  • the present invention relates to a forging.
  • the forging includes carbon of about 0.05-0.2 wt.%, manganese of about 0.3-0.8 wt.%, and nickel of about 0.25-1.0 wt.%.
  • the forging further includes a cross-section thickness of at least about 8 inches, an internal yield strength of greater than about 85Ksi, and a Brinell hardness value of at most about 237.

  • a method in accordance with one embodiment of the invention uses a low alloy steel comprising carbon of about 0.05-0.2 wt.%, manganese of about 0.3-0.8 wt.%, and nickel of about 0.25-1.0 wt.%.
  • the low alloy steel can have a depth of hardenability of greater than eight inches when heat treated in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
  • the percent of nickel may be limited to about 0.5-1.0 wt.%.
  • the low alloy steel chemical composition of one embodiment can also include phosphorous of greater than 0 up to about 0.04 wt.%, sulfur of greater than 0 up to about 0.04 wt.%, silicon of greater than 0 up to about 0.5 wt.%, chromium of about 2.0-2.5 wt.%, and molybdenum of about 0.45-1.15 wt.%.
  • the molybdenum may be 0.90-1.10 wt%.
  • the low alloy steel should exhibit a very high fracture toughness. Fracture toughness measures the amount of energy absorbed by the material during a high strain fracture. Tougher materials absorb more energy than brittle materials.
  • the low alloy steel of the present invention can provide the fracture toughness needed for use in large high pressure vessels, such as BOPs.
  • the low alloy steel may be calcium treated in the melting process when the alloy steel is originally melted together from the original elements to provide sulphide morphology control and improve fracture toughness. Further, the low alloy steel may include aluminum and/or vanadium for deoxidation and grain refinement.
  • heat treatment of the low alloy steel is performed in accordance with the standard practice for heat treating metals: normalizing, austenitizing, quenching, and tempering.
  • the optional normalizing treatment is typically performed so that the low alloy steel is controlled to within about ⁇ 25 0 F ( ⁇ 14 0 C) of the selected normalizing temperature.
  • the normalizing temperature is typically chosen to be 25-50 0 F (14-28 0 C) above the austenitizing temperature.
  • the forgings are then re-heated to form austenite at an austenitizing temperature, such as at least 1725 0 F (940 0 C), with the selected temperature controlled to within about ⁇ 25 0 F ( ⁇ 14 0 C).
  • the forgings are then quenched in a vigorously agitated immersion quench bath with the initial temperature of a quench media not exceeding about 75 0 F (24 0 C). Holding the initial quench media temperature to less than about 75 0 F at the start of the quench provides a more efficient quench by increasing the cooling rate of the low allow steel.
  • the temperature of the quench media should not be allowed to exceed about 95 0 F (35 0 C) at the end of the quench.
  • the temperature of the quench media should not be allowed to exceed about 75 0 F (24 0 C) at the end of the quench.
  • the selected temperature rise of the quench media would determine the minimum amount of the quench media necessary for effective and adequate quenching.
  • a smaller selected temperature rise in the quench media would require larger amounts of quench media to receive the same amount of heat from the forgings.
  • the quench tank would have to be overflowed with 75 0 F (24 0 C) or cooler quench media, or the quench media would have to be circulated through a cooling system to maintain the temperature below 75 0 F (24 0 C).
  • Control of the initial quench media temperature to less than about 55 0 F and above about 32 0 F should result in an even greater depth of hardening than when the forgings are quenched in a warmer, higher temperature, quench media.
  • Figure 3 from Metals Handbook, Ninth Edition, Volume 4, page 35, shows the cooling power of the quench media versus the initial quench media temperature, in which water was used as the quench media. As shown in Figure 3, the cooling power of water decreases rapidly as the initial temperature increases, indicating water can quench forgings more rapidly and allow greater depth of hardening in lower initial temperature water.
  • brine is a preferable quench media to water because brine is able to provide higher hardness results in low alloy steels than water. Brine produces less gas bubbles than water, and therefore can wet the surface of the low alloy steel. This allows brine to cool the low alloy steel almost twice as fast as water, enabling the low alloy steel to have higher hardness results.
  • Figure 4 from Metals Handbook, Ninth Edition, Volume 4, page 37, shows the results of steel quenched in water and in brine. As shown in Figure 4, the hardness results for brine are higher than that of water when quenching at the same temperature of 180 0 F (80 0 C).
  • brine allows for a faster quench to increase the depth of hardening of the low alloy steel
  • brine is more caustic and corrosive than water. Therefore, efforts would also need to be taken to protect the quenched materials and the quenching equipment from the brine.
  • the forgings are tempered at a selected tempering temperature for at least thirty minutes per inch of section thickness plus one or two hours of additional soak time.
  • the selected tempering temperature should be maintained within about ⁇ 15 0 F ( ⁇ 8 0 C).
  • low alloy steels are tempered for forty five minutes to one hour per inch of section thickness, plus one to two hours time at the tempering temperature.
  • long tempering hold times can result in over tempering of the alloy, resulting in an unnecessary loss of mechanical properties of the low alloy steel.
  • the low alloy steel may fail to meet the requirements for tensile strength and hardness.
  • FIG. 2 shows a flow chart illustrating a method of heat treating a forging in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the low alloy steel forging used in the method is made from the chemical composition of the present invention and is typically greater than 8 inches in cross-section thickness.
  • the method begins with the optional normalizing process 210, in which the forging is heated to a normalizing temperature within about ⁇ 25 0 F ( ⁇ 14 0 C).
  • the forging is then re-heated into the austenite temperature range in the austenitizing process 220 within about ⁇ 25 0 F ( ⁇ 14 0 C) of a selected austenitizing temperature. Then, using a vigorously agitated immersion quench bath, the forging is immersed in a quench media in the quenching process 230.
  • the quench media used in the quenching process 230 should have an initial temperature less than about 75 0 F (24 0 C). However, a greater depth of hardening of the forging can be achieved if the initial temperature of the quench media is controlled between about 55 0 F (13 0 C) and 32 0 F (0 0 C).
  • the quench bath For a forging less than about twelve inches of thickness, the quench bath should be large enough as to not allow the quench media to exceed about 95 0 F (35 0 C) by the end of the quench. For a forging less than about twenty inches of thickness, the quench bath should be large enough as to not allow the quench media to exceed about 75 0 F (24 0 C) by the end of the quench. Also, in the quenching process 230, brine is a preferable quench media over water for quenching the large forging.
