High-strength corrosion-resistant tubing for oil and gas completion and drilling applications, and process for manufacturing thereof
A high strength corrosion resistant tubing comprises about 35% to about 55% of Ni, about 12% to about 25% of Cr, about 0.5% to about 5% of Mo, up to about 3% of Cu, about 2.1% to about 4.5% of Nb, about 0.5% to about 3% of Ti, about 0.05% to about 1.0% of Al, and about 0.005% to about 0.04% of C, wi...

Zusammenfassung: | A high strength corrosion resistant tubing comprises about 35% to about 55% of Ni, about 12% to about 25% of Cr, about 0.5% to about 5% of Mo, up to about 3% of Cu, about 2.1% to about 4.5% of Nb, about 0.5% to about 3% of Ti, about 0.05% to about 1.0% of Al, and about 0.005% to about 0.04% of C, with the balance being Fe, and incidental impurities and deoxidizers. The composition also satisfies the equation: (Nb - 7.75 C) / (Al + Ti) = about 0.5 to about 9. A process for manufacturing the tubing includes: extruding the alloy to form a tubing; cold working the extruded tubing; annealing the cold worked tubing; and applying at least one age hardening step to the annealed tubing. Another process includes extruding the alloy at a temperature of about 2050 degree Fahrenheit or less; annealing the extruded tubing; and applying at least one age hardening step to the annealed tubing. |
