Abstract: Tubular metal products and methods of making tubular metal products for use in sour gas wells, which are characterized by resistance to hydrogen sulfide embrittlement at temperatures up to about 600.degree. F., are provided based upon an alloy having the composition up to about 0.035% maximum carbon, up to about 0.15% maximum silicon, up to about 0.15% maximum manganese, up to about 0.010% maximum sulfur, up to about 0.015% maximum phosphorus, about 19.0% to about 21.0% chromium, about 33.0% up to about 37.0% nickel, about 9.0% to about 10.5% molybdenum, up to about 1.0% titanium, up to about 0.015% boron, up to about 2% iron and the balance cobalt, said tubular product having been heat treated in the range 1350.degree. F. to 1500.degree. F. after cold working up to about 75%.

Abstract: This invention provides bearing parts and a bearing steel characterized by rolling contact fatique life many times that of bearing parts and steels now in use. The steel composition is broadly about 0.7 to 1.0% carbon, up to 0.50% silicon, up to 0.50% manganese, about 3.75 to 4.75% molybdenum about 3.75 to 4.50% chromium, about 0.20 to 1.00% vanadium and the balance iron with usual impurities in ordinary amounts.
