  • Publication number: 20230349503
    Abstract: This invention provides an oil-well metal pipe which is capable of achieving both high yield torque and excellent galling resistance in a compatible manner. An oil-well metal pipe of the present disclosure includes a pipe main body. The pipe main body includes a pin that is formed at the first end portion, and a box that is formed at the second end portion. A plating layer is formed on a first contact surface, which is one of a pin contact surface of the pin and a box contact surface of the box, and a solid lubricant layer is formed on the plating layer. An arithmetic average roughness Ra of a second contact surface, which is the other of the pin contact surface and the box contact surface, is 0.5 to 10.0 ?m, and a semi-solid or liquid anti-rust coating is formed on the second contact surface.

  • Patent number: 8557750
    Abstract: A solid lubricating coating formed on a contact surface of a threaded joint for pipes has a matrix of a lubricating oil-containing polymer. The lubricating oil-containing polymer has either a uniform composition or a gradient composition in which the concentration of lubricating oil decreases towards the contact surface and in which there is substantially no lubricating oil in the vicinity of the contact surface.
