Thus, without using a compound grease, suppressing the occurrence of rust, it showed excellent galling resistance and airtightness, and no stickiness on the surface, a threaded joint for pipes having excellent appearance and inspection can be obtained, It is described in Patent Document 1.
[0007]
The photocurable compositions described in Patent Document 2 is characterized by containing the following components (A) ~ (G). (A) photocurable (meth) acrylate resin, (B) a monofunctional (meth) selected from acrylate monomers and bifunctional (meth) acrylate monomers (meth) acrylate monomer, (C) 3-functional or higher polyfunctional ( meth) acrylate monomers, (D) a photopolymerization initiator, (E) a benzotriazole corrosion inhibitor, (F) anticorrosive pigment selected from phosphate anticorrosive pigment and calcium ion exchange silica and (G) phosphorus acid ester. The photocurable composition, airtightness, adhesion to a substrate, lubricity, excellent galling resistance and corrosion resistance, and can form a high transparency photocured film on the surface of the pipe thread joint a thin film, and It is described in Patent Document 2.
[0008]
On the other hand, OCTG, after being manufactured, transported by ship or the like, is stored a certain period until used. Transport and storage of oil country tubular goods, there is a case in which over a long period of time. Furthermore, storage of oil well pipes might be carried out outdoors. If long term stored outdoors, rust is generated in the pipe thread joint, galling resistance and airtightness of pipe thread joint may be lowered. Therefore, the Pipe threaded joint, in addition to the seizure of the above are excellent corrosion resistance is required.

In other words, the contact surface is a shoulder portion, a metal seal part, and a threaded portion.
[0041]
Pipe threaded joint 1, on at least one contact surface of the pin 5 and box 8 comprises a solid lubricating coating. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the contact surface of the pipe thread joint according to the present embodiment. Solid lubricating film 21, the composition for forming a solid lubricating film 21 is coated on at least one contact surface of the pin 5 and box 8 is formed by solidifying. Solid lubricating film 21 contains a binder, a lubricant additive, a rust-preventive agent, and a plasticizer.

Hereinafter also referred to simply as "composition" a composition for forming a solid lubricating film 21.
[0042]
Solid lubricating film 21, contains a plasticizer. Therefore, adhesion of the solid lubricating film 21 is high. It described in detail below each component.
[0043]
[Binding agent]
binders, ethylene vinyl acetate resins, containing at least one selected from the group consisting of polyolefin resins and waxes.
[0044]
Ethylene vinyl acetate resin is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. Ethylene vinyl acetate resins, for example, a HM224 manufactured by Cemedine (softening point 86 ° C.).
[0045]
Polyolefin resin is a general term of the resulting polymer by polymerization of olefin (alkene). Polyolefin resins, because of crystalline polymers, the physical properties are changed by the degree of crystallinity. Polyolefin resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene. Specific examples of the polyolefin resins are, for example, HM712 manufactured by Cemedine (softening point 120 ° C.).
[0046]
Waxes, the friction-reducing the solid lubricating film, suppress seizure. Wax further adjust the hardness of the solid lubricating coating, enhance the toughness of a solid lubricating coating. As a wax, animal, vegetable, none of mineral and synthetic waxes can be used. Available waxes are, for example, beeswax, spermaceti (or, animal), Japan wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, rice wax (or, vegetable), paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, petrolatum, montan wax, ozocerite , ceresin (or, mineral), oxidized wax, polyethylene wax, Fischer-Tropsch wax, amide wax, hydrogenated castor oil (castor wax) (or, synthetic wax) is. Wax is preferably a solid at room temperature. A preferred lower limit of the melting point of the wax is 40 ° C.. By using a solid wax at room temperature, it can be the adhesion strength of the solid lubricant film in the vicinity of room temperature in an appropriate range.
[0047]
When the melting temperature of the binder is too high, it is difficult to apply the composition in a hot melt process. On the other hand, when the melting temperature of the binder is too low, the solid lubricant film 21 in a high temperature environment is softened, the adhesion may decrease. Thus, the binder melting temperature (or softening temperature) is 80 ~ 320 ° C. of ethylene vinyl acetate resin, and at least one selected from the group melting temperature (or softening temperature) is composed of 80 ~ 320 ° C. of the polyolefin resin preferably contains a. At least more preferably, the binder, the melting temperature (or softening temperature) is 90 ~ 200 ° C. of ethylene vinyl acetate resin, and is selected from the group melting temperature (or softening temperature) is composed of 90 ~ 200 ° C. of the polyolefin resin preferably it contains one.
[0048]
Ethylene vinyl acetate resins, in order to suppress an abrupt softening due to a temperature rise, is preferably a mixture of two or more ethylene-vinyl acetate resins having different melting temperatures. Similarly, polyolefin resins, is preferably a mixture of two or more polyolefin resins having different melting temperatures.
[0049]
The content of the binder in the solid lubricating film 21 is preferably 60 to 80 mass%. When the content of the binder is 60 mass% or more, further enhance the adhesion of the solid lubricating coating 21. When the content of the binder is 80 mass% or less, lubricity of the solid lubricating coating 21 is better maintained.
[0050]
Lubricating Additives]
composition, in order to further enhance the lubricity of the solid lubricating coating 21, containing a lubricant additive. The lubricating additive is a general term for additive having lubricating properties. Lubricating additives, it is broadly classified into the following five types. Lubricant additive contains at least one selected from the group consisting of the following (1) to (5).
(1) slippery specific crystal structure, for example, shows the lubricity by having a hexagonal layered crystal structure (e.g., graphite, zinc oxide, boron nitride),
a reactive element in addition to
(3)(2) shows the lubricity by a chemical reactivity (e.g., certain thiosulfate sulfate compounds),
(4) shows the lubricity by plastic or viscoplastic behavior under frictional stresses (e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyamide), and
(5) a liquid or grease form, contact shows the lubricity by present in the boundary surface prevent direct contact between the surface and the surface (e.g., perfluoropolyether (PFPE)).
[0051]
Any lubricant additive of (1) to (5) may also be used. Lubricating additives, (1) above may be used alone or to (5). For example, it may be used alone lubricating additive (1). Lubricating additives may be used in combination of a plurality of the above (1) to (5). For example, in addition to the above (1), may be used in combination (4) and (5).
[0052]
Preferably, the lubricating additive is above (1), containing at least one selected from the group consisting of (4) and (5). The lubricant additive (1), preferably graphite from the viewpoint of adhesion and corrosion resistance of a solid lubricating film 21, earthy graphite is preferred from the viewpoint of film formability. Polytetrafluoroethylene as a lubricant additive (4) (PTFE) is preferred. The lubricant additive (5), fluorine-based additive is preferable. Fluorine-based additive improves the lubricity at the time of sliding. Fluorine-based additive further enhance the toughness of the solid lubricating film 21 in the cryogenic temperature. Fluorine-based additives are, for example, a fluorinated polymer such as perfluoropolyether (PFPE) or grease-like liquid system. Perfluoropolyether-modified material, such as a basic skeleton, such as fluorinated polyether having a molecular weight of 500-10,000 can also be used as lubricant additives.
[0053]
The content of the lubricant additive in the solid lubricating coating 21 is preferably 10 to 25 mass%. When the content of the lubricity additive is 10 wt% or more, further enhanced seizure resistance. Therefore, the number of times that can return screw tightening and screw without causing seizure increases. On the other hand, if the content of the lubricity additive is less than 25 mass%, further increases the strength of the solid lubricating film 21. Therefore, wear of the solid lubricating coating 21 is suppressed.
[0054]
[Rust Additives
solid lubricating coating 21 is required to have a rust resistant over a long period until it is actually used. Therefore, the composition contains anti-rust additives.

[0055]
The content of the rust-preventive agent in the solid lubricating coating 21 is preferably 2 to 10 mass%. When the content of the rust-preventive additive is 2 mass% or more, rust of the solid lubricating coating 21 is increased in a stable manner. On the other hand, if the content of the rust-preventive additive is 10 wt% or less, lubricity of the solid lubricating coating 21 is increased in a stable manner. The content of the rust-preventive additive, if it exceeds 10 wt%, antirust effect is saturated.
[0056]
[Plasticizer]
The solid lubricating coating 21 contains a plasticizer. Therefore, flexibility of the solid lubricating film 21 is high. As a result, in a high-temperature environment, even when the pipe thread joint 1 is thermally expanded, the peeling of the solid lubricating coating 21 is suppressed. Meanwhile, even under extremely low temperature environment, the flexibility of the solid lubricating film 21 is high. Therefore, even under the extremely low temperature environment, the peeling due to the shrinkage of the solid lubricating coating 21 is suppressed. That is, adhesion of the solid lubricating film 21, even if repeatedly exposed to high temperatures (70 ° C.) and cryogenic (-60 ° C.), which remain high. For example, even when subjected to friction during off fitting protectors, damage and peeling of the solid lubricating coating 21 is suppressed. Thus, the pipe threaded joint 1 comprising a solid lubricant film 21 formed by the composition may be repeatedly exposed to high temperatures (70 ° C.) and cryogenic (-60 ° C.), has excellent seizure resistance.
[0057]

Adipic acid esters such as adipic acid bis (2-ethylhexyl) (DOA), diisononyl adipate (DINA), adipic acid di-n-alkyl (C 6 , C 8 , C 10 ) and adipic acid dialkyl (C 7 , C 9) It is. Trimellitic acid esters, for example, a trioctyl trimellitate (TOTM). Phosphoric acid esters, for example, a tricresyl phosphate (TCP). Citric acid esters are, for example, acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC). Epoxidized vegetable oils are, for example, epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) and epoxidized linseed oil (ELSO). Sebacic acid esters, for example, dibutyl sebacate (DBS) and sebacic acid bis (2-ethylhexyl) (DOS). Azelaic acid esters are, for example, azelaic acid bis (2-ethylhexyl). Plasticizers, which may contain only one kind of these may contain two or more kinds.
[0058]
Preferably, the plasticizer is selected bis (2-ethylhexyl) adipate, diisodecyl adipate, diisononyl adipate, sebacic acid bis (2-ethylhexyl), from the group consisting of tricresyl phosphate and azelaic acid bis (2-ethylhexyl) It contains at least one.

More preferably, the plasticizer is a sebacate Bis (2-ethylhexyl).
[0059]
The content of plasticizer in the solid lubricating coating 21 is preferably 0.2 to 5 mass%. When the content of the plasticizer is more than 0.2 mass%, it is possible to enhance the adhesion of the solid lubricating film 21 in a stable manner. When the content of the plasticizer is 5% by mass or less, further it can suppress a decrease in lubricity of the solid lubricating film 21, increasing the strength of a solid lubricating coating 21. Even when the content of the plasticizer more than 5 wt%, the effect is saturated. A more preferred lower limit of the content of the plasticizer in the composition (or a solid lubricant film 21) is 0.3 wt%, more preferably 0.5% by mass. More preferable upper limit of the content of the plasticizer in the composition (or a solid lubricant film 21) is 3 mass%, more preferably 2 mass%.

When the solid lubricating coating 21 is less thin 25μm further on the upper layer or the lower layer of a solid lubricating coating 21, a thin film antirust coating of solid or liquid may be formed.
[0067]
When carrying out the surface treatment to be described later, it is preferred solid lubricating coating 21 is thicker than the surface roughness of the base. If thicker solid lubricating coating 21 than the surface roughness of the underlying solid lubricating coating 21 may completely cover the base. The thickness of the solid lubricating coating 21 when the base is rough, the area of the solid lubricating film 21, is calculated from the mass and density, the average value of the thickness of the entire solid lubricating film 21.
[0068]
Specifically, the thickness of the solid lubricating coating 21 is measured by the following method. Under the same conditions as in the case of applying a solid lubricant film 21 on the pipe thread joints, applying a solid lubricant film on a flat plate. Among the coating conditions of the threaded joint and the flat plate for tube, the distance between the object to be coated and the nozzle tip, the injection pressure, to match the conditions such as the rotational speed of the viscosity and the coating object of the composition. To match the viscosity of the composition, the tank, the temperature of the piping and the nozzle outlet, to match with the threaded joint and the flat plate for tube. And weight before plating of applying the composition, the difference between the weight of the plate after application of the composition, and calculates the application amount of the composition per unit time. Solidifying the composition on plates to form a solid lubricating coating. The thickness of the solid lubricating coating 21 is measured using a film thickness meter. And weight before plating of applying the composition, the difference between the weight of the plate after forming the solid lubricating coating 21, which calculates the weight of the solid lubricant film 21. From the film thickness and the weight of the solid lubricating coating 21, which calculates the density of the solid lubricant film 21. Next, the screw shape and size from the (inner diameter and thickness, etc.), and calculates the application target area of pipe thread fittings. The application target area corresponds to the area when expanding thread forming surface having irregularities in the plane. Application time of the composition to the pipe thread joint 1, the density of the coating target area and the solid lubricating coating 21, is calculated for the pipe thread joint 1, the average film thickness of the solid lubricating coating 21.
