  • Patent number: 10329633
    Abstract: A high-strength seamless stainless steel pipe for oil country tubular goods that is excellent in terms of hot workability, sulfide stress cracking resistance, and corrosion resistance, and a method for manufacturing the steel pipe. The steel pipe has a chemical composition containing Cr and Ni so that the relationship Cr/Ni?5.3 is satisfied. A microstructure of the steel pipe includes mainly a tempered martensite phase. Additionally, a surface layer microstructure of the steel pipe includes a phase which looks white when subjected to etching with a Vilella etching solution, the phase having a thickness in the wall thickness direction from the outer surface of the pipe of 10 ?m or more and 100 ?m or less and dispersing in the outer surface of the pipe in an amount of 50% or more in terms of area fraction.

  • Patent number: 10151012
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a high-strength stainless steel pipe includes forming a steel pipe having a predetermined size, the steel having a composition comprising by mass % 0.005 to 0.05% C, 0.05 to 1.0% Si, 0.2 to 1.8% Mn, 0.03% or less P, 0.005% or less S, 14 to 20% Cr, 1.5 to 10% Ni, 1 to 5% Mo, 0.5% or less V, 0.15% or less N, 0.01% or less O, 0.002 to 0.1% Al, and Fe and unavoidable impurities as a balance; applying a quenching treatment two times or more to the steel pipe where the steel pipe is quenched by reheating to a temperature of 750° C. or above and cooling to a temperature of 100° C. or below at a cooling rate equal to or higher than an air-cooling rate; and applying a tempering treatment where the steel pipe is tempered at a temperature of 700° C. or below.
