  • Publication number: 20240254404
    Abstract: A solid lubricating coating film capable of imparting favorable lubricity and corrosion resistance to a connection for oil country tubular goods. Two or more solid lubricants are dispersed in a binder resin. Graphite is contained in an amount of 50% or more and 90% or less of a total weight of the solid lubricants, and the graphite has a scaly shape and an average particle diameter of 10.0 ?m or less. A solid lubricant made of one or more materials selected from BN, mica, talc, MCA, MoS2, PTFE, PFA, and FEP is further contained as other solid lubricants of the two or more types of solid lubricants. The binder resin contains a PEEK resin having an average particle diameter of 20 ?m or less as a main component, and the PEEK resin is contained in an amount of 70% or more of a total weight of the binder resin.

  • Publication number: 20240218280
    Abstract: A solid lubricating coating film is used to realize galling resistance equal to or higher than a method using a dope compound regarding lubrication characteristics during make-up/break-out of oil country tubular goods. A threaded joint for oil country tubular goods includes a box having a thread and a pin having a male thread. A lubricating coating film including a solid lubricating coating film forms on a tightening surface of a thread portion of at least one component of the box and pin, the solid lubricating coating film is formed by dispersing a solid lubricant in a binder resin, 90 wt % or more of the binder resin is a polyamideimide resin, an average molecular weight of the polyamideimide resin is 20,000 or more and 40,000 or less, 80 wt % or more of the solid lubricant is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and an average molecular weight of the PTFE is 30,000 or less.
