The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a pipe thread fittings and pipe thread joint, more particularly to a method for producing a threaded joint and a threaded joint for oil well pipes for oil well pipes.
BACKGROUND
[0002]
For mining oil and natural gas fields, oil well pipe is used. OCTG, depending on the depth of the well is formed by connecting a plurality of steel pipes. Coupling of the steel pipe is performed by screwing the formed pipe thread joint between the ends of the steel pipe. OCTG are lifted for inspection, are unscrewing, after being examined, is again screwing, is used again.
[0003]
Pipe thread joint comprises a pin and box. Pin includes a male screw portion formed on the outer peripheral surface and an unthreaded metal contact portion of the distal end portion of the steel pipe. Box includes a female threaded portion and an unthreaded metal contact portion formed on the inner peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the steel pipe. Threaded portion of the pin and box and the unthreaded metal contact portion, repeatedly subjected to strong friction at the time of the return screw tightening and screw of the threaded joint. These sites, if there is sufficient resistance to friction, galling when repeated back screw tightening and screw (with irreparable shrink) occurs. Therefore, the Pipe threaded joint, sufficient durability against the friction, i.e., is required to have excellent seizure resistance.
[0004]
Conventionally, in order to improve the seizure resistance, heavy metal containing the compound grease called dope have been used. By applying a compound grease on the surface of the pipe thread joint, it can improve the seizure resistance of pipe thread fittings. However, heavy metals Pb, Zn and Cu or the like contained in the compound grease is likely to affect the environment. Therefore, development of a pipe thread joint not using compound grease is desired.
[0005]
JP 2002-221288 (Patent Document 1) and JP 2008-215473 (Patent Document 2) proposes a pipe thread joint having excellent galling resistance without the compound grease.
[0006]
The contact surface of the pin or box of the pipe threaded joint described in Patent Document 1, at least one of the threaded portion and the unthreaded metal contact portions of the pipe thread fittings, Zn or Zn alloy layer porous by impact plating It is formed and thereon a solid lubricating coating or a heavy metal powder does not contain a liquid lubricating coating (eg, coatings and main agent highly basic organic metal salts such as highly basic sulfonates) are formed. Accordingly, without using a liquid lubricant containing heavy metal powder such compounds grease, it has high corrosion resistance, it is possible to suppress the seizure generation and airtightness deterioration due to rust generation at the time of repeated tightening and loosening , and it is described in Patent Document 1.
[0007]
Pipe threaded joint described in Patent Document 2, at least one of the contact surfaces of the pin and box, and having a first plating layer made of Cu-Zn alloy. Thus, a threaded joint is excellent has leakage resistance and galling resistance was further crevice corrosion is improved in the case of forming a lubricating coating on the plating layer, and is described in Patent Document 2 there.
[0008]
To suppress the seizure of the pipe thread joint, it is effective to form a plating layer hardness and melting point includes a higher metal. Therefore, conventionally, copper (Cu) plating or Cu alloy plating has been used. Hardness and the melting point of Cu is high. Therefore, Cu is by inclusion in the plating layer increases the hardness and the melting point of the entire plating layer. Thus, it increases seizure of pipe thread fittings.

Summary of the Invention
Problems that the Invention is to Solve
[0010]
Incidentally, the evaluation of seizure resistance is usually performed in a state of being matched core steel pipes for screwing. However, if indeed the pipe thread joint for screwing, which may lead between steel pipe screwing (or steel pipe and coupling) is shifted. This is called misalignment. If misalignment occurs, threaded portion and unthreaded metal contact portions of the pin and box, in addition to the strong friction, subjected to strong shearing stress. This shear stress, as compared with the case of no misalignment, significantly large. Therefore, when misalignment occurs, the seizure is more likely to occur. Therefore, the Pipe threaded joint, suppressing performance seizure even if misalignment occurs, i.e., resistance to misalignment is required.
[0011]
On the other hand, the unthreaded metal contact portions of the above, comprises a metal seal portion and the shoulder portion. When screwing the pipe thread joint, shoulder portions of the pin and box are in contact. The torque generated at this time that the shoulder ring torque. The pipe thread fitting when screwing, after reaching shouldering torque, for further screwing until the fastening is complete. Thus, increases airtightness of pipe thread fittings. Further performing screw tightening, the metal constituting at least one of the pin and box begin to undergo plastic deformation. The torque generated at this time that the yield torque.
[0012]
Engagement completion time of the torque (hereinafter, referred to as the fastening torque) regardless of the magnitude of the thread interference is set such that a sufficient seal surface pressure can be obtained. The difference between the shouldering torque and yield torque (hereinafter, torque that on shoulder resistance [Delta] T ') if there is a sufficient range of the fastening torque becomes large. As a result, it becomes easy to adjust the fastening torque. Therefore, the Pipe threaded joint, in addition to the resistance to misalignment of the above is required to have a high torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T '.
[0013]
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 fittings, airtight and seizure resistance of pipe thread joint may be lowered. Therefore, the Pipe threaded joint, in addition to the resistance to misalignment of the foregoing and high torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T ', it is excellent corrosion resistance requirements.
[0014]
Pipe threaded joint disclosed in Patent Document 1, Zn or Zn alloy layer is porous. Therefore, adhesion between the solid lubricating coating layer is good, with sufficient seizure resistance. However, since it is porous, the void between the Zn or Zn alloy layer and the base material occurs. Therefore, the base metal of the resulting void portion, which may corrode during long-term course.
[0015]
Pipe threaded joint disclosed in Patent Document 2, although being considered for seizure resistance, has not been studied resistance misalignment resistance. Therefore, seizure resistance when misalignment is not generated be sufficient, in some cases a lower resistance to misalignment resistance. Furthermore, lowered torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T ', it may be a low corrosion resistance low adhesion of the solid lubricating coating layer.
[0016]
An object of the present invention is to provide a resistance to misalignment and high torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T 'has, furthermore, to provide a pipe thread joint and a manufacturing method thereof has excellent corrosion resistance.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0022]
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present embodiment will be described in detail. Its description will not be repeated the same reference numerals designate like or corresponding parts in FIG.
[0023]
The present inventors have conducted a pipe thread joint, resistance to misalignment of the torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T ', and various studies about the relationship between the corrosion resistance. As a result, the following findings were obtained.
[0024]
[Resistant misalignment resistance]
In the conventional pipe thread joint, galling resistance when misalignment is not generated be sufficient, in some cases anti-misalignment resistance is insufficient. The misalignment, refers to the situation shown in Figure 1. Referring to FIG. 1, the coupling 2 is mounted on the tip of the steel tube 1. The other tip of the steel tube 1, the pin 3 is formed. The distal end of another steel pipe 4, coupling 5 is attached. The inner peripheral surface of the coupling 5 box is formed. Pin 3 of the steel pipe 1 is inserted into the coupling 5, it is screwed. Thus, the steel pipe 1 is connected to the steel tube 4. During screwing, not aligned and the longitudinal center axis of the longitudinal central axis and the steel pipe 4 of the steel tube 1, which may be cross. This is called misalignment. Cross angle in FIG. 1 shows a misalignment of theta °. By carrying out screwing in a state in which misalignment has occurred, as compared with the case of no misalignment, more likely to occur seizure.
[0025]
Zn-Ni alloy plating layer, are collectively Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer and the solid lubricant coating layer, referred to simply as the coating. To increase the resistance to misalignment of the pipe thread joint, enhance the adhesion of the coating. At least one of the threaded portion and the unthreaded metal contact portions of the pin and the box (hereinafter, referred to as contact surfaces) on an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 1 ~ 8 [mu] m and a maximum height roughness Rz of the surface roughness of 10 ~ 40 [mu] m, (hereinafter, also referred to as "specific surface roughness") is formed. If the film is formed contacting surface having a specific surface roughness, by a so-called anchor effect, the adhesion is improved. The higher the adhesion of the coating, even if it is repeatedly exposed to high temperature and low temperature, peeling of the coating can be suppressed. If the peeling of the coating is suppressed, lubricity is maintained high during the return screw tightening and screw. Therefore, it increases resistance to misalignment of the pipe thread fittings.
[0026]
To increase the resistance to misalignment of the pipe thread joint, further formed on the contact surface of the plating layer having a high hardness and high melting point. The higher the hardness of the plating layer, the plating layer is not easily damaged during the return screw tightening and screw the pipe thread fittings. Furthermore, the higher the melting point of the plating layer, during the return screw tightening and screw the pipe thread joint, locally plated layer even when heated to a high temperature is hard to put to melt. Cu-Sn-Zn alloy has a high hardness and high melting point. Accordingly, in the present embodiment has a Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer consisting of Cu-Sn-Zn alloy. Therefore, further increases the resistance to misalignment of the pipe thread fittings.
[0027]
Torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T ']
when the steel pipes screwing, optimum torque to terminate the screwing is predetermined. Figure 2 is a diagram showing the time of the pipe thread coupling having a shoulder portion and screwing, the relationship between the rotational speed and the torque of the steel pipe. Referring to FIG. 2, when screwing the pipe thread joint, initially, the torque is increased in proportion to the rotational speed. The rate of increase in torque at this time is low. Further if the screw tightening, the shoulder portion come into contact with each other. The torque at this time, that the shoulder ring torque. After reaching shouldering torque, further if the screw tightening torque increases in proportion to the rotation speed again. The rate of increase in torque at this time is high. When the torque reaches a predetermined value (engaging torque), screwing is completed. Torque when the screw tightening, if reached fastening torque, the metal seal portions interfere with each other at the appropriate surface pressure. In this case, it increases the airtightness of the pipe thread fittings.
[0028]
By carrying out further screwing after reaching the engaging torque, the torque is too high. If too high torque, a portion of the pin and box plastically deformed. The torque at this time that the yield torque. The greater the torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T 'is the difference between the shouldering torque and yield torque, can afford the range of fastening torque. As a result, it becomes easy to adjust the fastening torque. Thus, the torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T 'is preferably higher.
[0029]
To increase the torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T 'reduces the shouldering torque, or, it is effective to increase the yield torque. In the present embodiment, in order to reduce the shouldering torque, reducing the frictional resistance.
[0030]
In this embodiment, increase the lubricity of the solid lubricant coating layer to reduce the frictional resistance. Solid lubricating coating layer is a fluorine resin particles, and, if at least one selected from the group consisting of an epoxy resin and a polyamide-imide resin, lubricity is improved. In this case, it remains low the shouldering torque.
[0031]
Corrosion Resistance
The use of Zn-Ni alloy, it is possible to increase the corrosion resistance of pipe thread fittings. Zinc (Zn) is iron (Fe), a base metal as compared with nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr). Therefore, by forming a plating layer containing zinc (Zn) on the contact surface, preferentially plating layer is corroded than steel (sacrificial protection). This increases the corrosion resistance of the pipe thread fittings.
[0032]
[Each layer of the laminated Order
In this embodiment, Zn-Ni alloy plating layer, the stacking order of the Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer and the solid lubricant coating layer is important. In particular, stacking sequence of the Zn-Ni alloy plating layer and the Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer is important. Table 1 shown below is an excerpt partially data described in Examples below.
[0033]
[Table 1]
[0034]
Table 1, the structure of the coating of the pipe threaded joint for Test No. 1 and Test Number 8 embodiments described later, shows the evaluation results. In Table 1, it means the contact surface of the pin and the pin surface. It refers to the contact surface of the box and the box surface.
[0035]
And Test No. 1 and Test No. 8, all conditions other than stacking order of the plating layer of the box surface had the same. In Test No. 1 and Test No. 8, the surface roughness of the pre-plating were the same. Specifically, the arithmetic average roughness Ra is 0.3 [mu] m, the maximum height roughness Rz of the pin surface was 5.8 [mu] m. Arithmetic average roughness Ra of the box surface 2.0 .mu.m, the maximum height roughness Rz was 24.0Myuemu. In both Test Number 1 and Test Number 8, on the Zn-Ni alloy plating layer on the pin surface a chromate film is formed. In both Test Number 1 and Test Number 8, the outermost layer of the box surface, the solid lubricant coating layer was formed containing 10% of polytetrafluoroethylene particles and an epoxy resin.
[0036]
Referring to Table 1, the pipe threaded joint for Test No. 8, Zn-Ni alloy plating layer, comprising a Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer and the solid lubricant coating layer. Pipe thread joint Test No. 8, with a Zn-Ni alloy plating layer on the Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer. Seizure resistance of the pipe threaded joint for Test No. 8 is 5 times in the evaluation by the hand tight, the evaluation of resistance to misalignment resistance evaluation test was 5 times. Pipe thread joint boxes Test No. 8, rust occurs 750 hours after salt spray test. On the other hand, the seizure resistance of the Cu-Sn-Zn pipe thread joint of the alloy plating layer with a test number 1 on the Zn-Ni alloy plating layer, in the evaluation by the hand tight a greater 20 times, resistance to misalignment It was also 20 times greater than in the evaluation of in sexual evaluation test. Furthermore, Test No. 1 of the box, rust did not occur even if the salt spray 4000 hours.
[0037]
Compares the test numbers 1 and Test No. 8, Cu-Sn-Zn be Zn-Ni alloy plating layer on the alloy plated layer is disposed, resistance to misalignment of the pipe thread joint, the torque on shoulder resistance ΔT 'and it can not be increased any corrosion. Only by Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer on the Zn-Ni alloy plating layer is disposed, resistance to misalignment of the pipe thread joint, it is possible to improve all of the torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T 'and corrosion resistance.
[0038]
Cause stacking order of each alloy plating layer greatly affect the performance of the pipe thread joint is considered as follows. Zn-Ni alloy plating layer, the sacrificial protection, enhances the corrosion resistance of the pipe thread fittings. When Zn-Ni alloy plating layer is separated from the base material of the pipe threaded joint, the effect of sacrificial protection is reduced. Therefore, corrosion resistance of pipe thread joint is reduced. Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer has high hardness and high melting point. Thus, even if there is a misalignment, to protect the Zn-Ni alloy plating layer under the Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer from damage. Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer is this effect can not be obtained if there below the Zn-Ni alloy plating layer. Therefore, on the contact surface, from the side of the contact surface, Zn-Ni alloy plating layer, it is important to be stacked in the order of Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer.
[0039]
Thus, it threaded joint for pipes, can be enhanced all the first time, resistance to misalignment of the torque on shoulder resistance [Delta] T 'and corrosion by laminating alloy plating layer having a specific composition in a specific order.
[0040]

[0052]
[Pipe thread fittings]

Referring to FIG. 3, the pipe threaded joint is provided with a steel pipe 11 and the coupling 12. At both ends of the steel pipe 11, a pin 13 having a male threaded portion on an outer surface is formed. At both ends of the coupling 12, box 14 having a female screw portion on an inner surface is formed. By screwing the pin 13 and the box 14, the end of the steel pipe 11, the coupling 12 is attached. On the other hand, without using a coupling 12, and one of the end pin 13 of the steel pipe 11, and the other end with the box 14, there is also a pipe thread joint of integral form. Pipe thread joint of the present embodiment can be used in the coupling method and the integral form of both pipe thread fittings.
[0053]

Box side of the contact surface 140, the shoulder portion 18, a metal seal part 19 and, includes a female threaded portion 20.
[0054]
Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the contact surfaces 130, 140 of the pipe thread joint according to the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 5, the pipe threaded joint has a certain surface roughness (not shown) on at least one contact surface 130, 140 of the pin 13 and box 14. Pipe threaded joint, the contact surfaces 130 and 140 having a specific surface roughness, comprising a Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21, Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer 22 and the solid lubricant coating layer 23. These are the contact surfaces 130 and 140 side are laminated in the order of Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21, Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer 22 and the solid lubricant coating layer 23.
[0055]
Specific surface roughness of the contact surfaces]
arithmetic average roughness Ra of 1 ~ 8 [mu] m, and a maximum height roughness Rz of the surface roughness of 10 ~ 40 [mu] m (the specific surface roughness), at least one of the pin 13 and box 14 formed on the contact surfaces 130 and 140. Specific surface roughness is formed by blasting. In this case, the contact surfaces 130, 140 has an uneven. Therefore, adhesion of the Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21 to be described later is improved by the anchor effect. If adhesion Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21 is Takamare, increases resistance to misalignment of the pipe thread fittings.
[0056]
If the arithmetic average roughness Ra is 1μm and less than the maximum height roughness Rz is less than 10 [mu] m, no sufficient anchor effect can be obtained. On the other hand, if the case the arithmetic mean roughness Ra exceeds 8μm and maximum height roughness Rz is more than 40 [mu] m, sometimes galling resistance and airtightness is deteriorated.
[0057]
The lower limit of the arithmetic mean roughness Ra is preferably 1.5 [mu] m, more preferably 2 [mu] m. The upper limit of the arithmetic mean roughness Ra is preferably 7 [mu] m, more preferably 5 [mu] m. Maximum minimum height roughness Rz is preferably 12 [mu] m, more preferably 15 [mu] m. Maximum maximum height roughness Rz is preferably 35 [mu] m, more preferably 30 [mu] m.
[0058]
Arithmetic mean roughness Ra and the maximum height roughness Rz in the present specification are measured in accordance with JIS B0601 (2013). Measured using the SII Nano Technology Inc. scanning probe microscope SPI3800N. Measurement conditions, in the region of 2 [mu] m × 2 [mu] m samples as a unit of the number of acquired data, which is acquired data number 1024 × 1024. Reference length is set to 2.5 mm. As an arithmetic mean roughness Ra and the surface height roughness Rz is large, it increases the contact area between the Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21. Therefore, adhesion between the Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21 is increased by an anchor effect. If adhesion Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21 is Takamare, increases resistance to misalignment of the pipe thread fittings.
[0059]
Blasting, pursuant to JIS Z0310 (2016), may be a known method. For example, sand blasting, shot blasting, and the like grit blasting. Depending on the object, by adjusting the abrasive grain type and size, spraying pressure, the projection angle, the distance between the nozzle, and the time zone, it is possible to obtain a desired surface roughness. Be about the size of the abrasive grains 100 mesh, it is possible to obtain a specific surface roughness relatively easily present invention.
[0060]
[Zn-Ni alloy plated layer 21 '
on the contact surface 130, 140 having a specific surface roughness to form a Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21 made of Zn-Ni alloy. Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21, for example formed by electroplating.
[0061]
Zn contained in the Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21 is a base metal. Therefore, by forming a plating layer containing Zn in contact surfaces 130 and 140, preferentially plating layer is corroded than steel (sacrificial protection). This increases the corrosion resistance of the pipe thread fittings. And Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21, if Irekaware the order of lamination of the Cu-Sn-Zn alloy plating layer 22 to be described later, can not be obtained the effect of sacrificial protection due to Zn. Thus, Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21 is formed on the contact surface with a specific surface roughness.
[0062]
Zn-Ni alloy contains Zn and Ni, the balance being impurities. Preferred Zn content of Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21 is 85 to 90 wt%, preferably Ni content is 10 to 15 mass%. Zn-Ni alloy plating layer 21 has a large content of Zn. Therefore, a large effect of sacrificial protection.
[0063]
