Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of steel materials, and particularly to a high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod and a preparation process thereof.


BACKGROUND

A sucker rod is an important part of pumping equipment. During the pumping process, the sucker rod bears various loads and friction caused by the relative movement of the rod. Moreover, the sucker rod comes in direct contact with a variety of corrosive media (such as salt ions, chloride ions, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and others) and abrasive sand in the oil well. In addition, with the increasingly complex oil exploitation environment, the content of corrosive substances such as chloride ions and hydrogen sulfide in a large number of oil fields increases year by year, and the probability of sucker rod fracture will increase when the rods are exposed to corrosive environments for extended periods, which will cause great economic losses to the oil-field exploitation industry. Therefore, a sucker rod with improved bearing capacity and corrosion resistance is highly desirable.


Chinese patent CN107099756A discloses steel for high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rods. The chemical composition of the steel is as follows: Si: 0.15% to 0.25%, Mn: 1.8% to 2.5%, Ni: 2.0% to 2.4%, Cr: 11% to 11.5%, Mo: 0.40% to 0.60%, Cu: 0.20% to 0.35%, Ti: 0.10% to 5 (C %−0.02)%, C: ≤0.055%, Al: 0.010% to 0.025%, P: ≤0.025%, S: ≤0.010%, [N]: 0.015% to 0.025%, the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities. The preparation method of the steel includes: smelting, ingot casting, ingot annealing, billet forging, bar rolling, and steel annealing. However, the content of precious metals such as Ni and Mo in this patent is relatively high, which increases the cost, and the mechanical properties of the prepared steel for the high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rods are poor.


Chinese patent CN104313479A discloses a corrosion-resistant sucker rod and a manufacturing method thereof. The material composition of the rod body is as follows: C: 0.15% to 0.25%, Cr: 0.5% to 1.0%, Mo: 0.1% to 0.2%, Si: 1.0% to 1.5%, Mn: 1.5% to 2.5%, Cu: 0.05% to 0.2%, Ti: 0.05% to 0.15%, Nb: 0.2% to 0.4%, rare earth 0.1% to 0.15%, and the balance is Fe. In this patent, the strength and corrosion resistance of the sucker rod are enhanced by increasing the content of Si, and the corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance of the sucker rod are further improved by introducing rare-earth elements and a reasonable alloy ratio. However, the corrosion resistance of the sucker rod prepared by this patent is poor.


SUMMARY

In view of the above deficiencies, the present invention provides a high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod and a preparation process thereof.


The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies is as follows: a high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod, raw materials for preparing the high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod include: by weight percent, manganese (Mn): 0.70% to 1.20%, chromium (Cr): 9.50% to 13.50%, nickel (Ni): 0.65% to 1.10%, molybdenum (Mo): 0.10% to 0.90%, cuprum (Cu): 0.28% to 0.56%, carbon (C): ≤0.07%, silicon (Si): ≤0.50%, phosphorus (P): ≤0.08%, sulfur (S): ≤0.005%, and the balance is ferrum (Fe) and unavoidable impurities. Mn, as a solid solution strengthening element, can improve the hardenability of steel, but excessive content of Mn will promote the growth of austenitic grains in the steel. Cr can improve the hardenability of steel, make the structure of the steel uniform, refine the grains, and greatly improve the corrosion resistance of the steel. Considering the two factors of cost and performance, a content of Cr is selected to be 9.5% to 13.5%. Ni can improve the strength and hardness of the sucker rod and make it have excellent mechanical properties. Mo can reduce the activity of hydrogen and hydrogen traps in steel, and improve the fatigue resistance of steel. The high content of C will increase the corrosion rate of the sucker rod, but the high corrosion resistance of the sucker rod can be guaranteed when the content of C is controlled below 0.07%. S will produce sulfur compounds when heated, and sulfides in steel will cause hot brittleness and reduce the toughness of steel, thereby making the steel to form cracks during forging. Besides, S tends to form pitting corrosion with chloride in corrosive liquids, so a content of S is controlled below 0.005%. Compared with Cr, rare earth niobium (Nb) and vanadium (V) are strong carbide forming elements. Nb and V preferentially form dispersed carbide particles and high-density dislocation tangles, which hinder the motion of dislocations, thus reducing the stress corrosion cracking sensitivity of materials.


Further, the raw materials for preparing the high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod further include: by weight percent, V: ≤0.50% and Nb: ≤0.30%.


Further, the raw materials for preparing the high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod include: by weight percent, Mn: 0.80% to 1.00%, Cr: 11.00% to 12.50%, Ni: 0.70% to 1.00%, Mo: 0.25% to 0.65%, Cu: 0.30% to 0.50%, V: ≤0.50%, Nb: ≤0.30%, C: ≤0.07%, Si: ≤0.50%, P: ≤0.08%, S: ≤0.005%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.


Further, the raw materials for preparing the high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod include: by weight percent, Mn: 0.90%, Cr: 12.00%, Ni: 0.85%, Mo: 0.35%, Cu: 0.40%, V: ≤0.32%, Nb: ≤0.23%, C: ≤0.07%, Si: ≤0.50%, P: ≤0.035%, S: ≤0.005%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.


Further, the raw materials for preparing the high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod include: by weight percent, Mn: 0.85%, Cr: 11.80%, Ni: 0.90%, Mo: 0.35%, Cu: 0.35%, V: ≤0.20%, Nb: ≤0.12%, C: 50.07%, Si: ≤0.20%, P: ≤0.065%, S: ≤0.005%, the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.


Another objective of the present invention is to provide a process for preparing the high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod, which includes the following steps.


Step S10, weighing the raw materials of the high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod according to the above-mentioned weight percentage.


Step S20, subjecting the raw materials for preparing the high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod with the above weight percentage to a primary refining in an electric arc furnace, followed by a refining in an argon oxygen decarburization (AOD) furnace, a further refining outside a ladle furnace (LF), and a casting to obtain a steel ingot; in which the continuous-casting billet is subjected to a temperature-controlled rolling, and a finished rolling is carried out in a two-phase zone to control fine grains. The initial rolling temperature of the sucker rod is strictly controlled to avoid the impact of high temperature ferrite on the impact energy and fatigue strength of the materials. The finisher delivery temperature of the sucker rod is strictly controlled, and the temperature, deformation amount and deformation speed during the finishing rolling are precisely controlled to control the fine microstructure and properties of the rolled material, such as dislocation density and morphology.


Step S30, first heating the steel ingot obtained in step S20 to 550° C. to 580° C., keeping the temperature for 40 minutes to 80 minutes, heating to 850° C. to 920° C., keeping the temperature for 50 minutes to 90 minutes, then heating to a final temperature of 1,160° C. to 1,200° C., and keeping the temperature for 1 hour to 2.5 hours, and then taking out the heated steel ingot from the furnace for rolling to obtain a high-strength sucker rod bar.


Step S40: putting the high-strength sucker rod bar obtained in step S30 into a sodium chloride aqueous solution with a concentration of 8 wt %-12 wt % for a quenching treatment, and then performing a tempering treatment to obtain the high-strength and corrosion-resistant sucker rod.


Further, in step S30, the final temperature is 1,170° C.


Further, in step S40, process parameters of the quenching treatment are as follows: a quenching temperature is controlled to be 905° C.-918° C., and the quenching temperature is kept for 20 minutes to 40 minutes.
