Steel Production Technology Development for the Manufacture of Pipes Used in the Extraction and Transportation of Petroleum Products

Abstract:

The technology has been developed for the production of low-carbon and microalloyed steel for the production of strips in order to manufacture small and medium-diameter pipes for the extraction and transportation of petroleum products. The developed technology allows to obtain stable corrosion properties, according to the NACE Standard TM 0284 technique, in a hot-rolled condition from slab with thickness more than 200 mm and with a content of more than 0.03% of carbon, which is very difficult in terms of ensuring the availability of inclusions and heterogeneity in the structure - as the main reasons for the reduced fracture toughness of steels working in acid media (in environments saturated with H2S). The obtained results allowed, with minimum costs, to prepare the previously developed integrated computer model (STAN 2000) for calculating the structure and mechanical properties. Calculations using the model made it possible to select such temperature-deformation regimes, which would be the minimum structural inhomogeneity over the section of the thickness of the hot-rolled strip. The results obtained: corrosion resistance repeatedly confirmed by the absence of cracks at the beginning after testing in accordance with the procedure Standard TM 0284.
