Abstract

A threaded joint for an oil well pipe in which a conventional threaded joint for an oil well pipe is improved so that sufficient fatigue fracture strength is secured, and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. An axial-direction residual stress of a threaded bottom part is set to −400 MPa or less as a value of X-ray stress analysis between a surface and a part with a depth of 40 μm.

Claims (12)

1. A threaded joint for an oil well pipe in which a threaded bottom part of the threaded joint has an axial-direction residual stress of a −400 MPa or less as measured by analysis between a surface of the threaded bottom part and a part with a depth of 40 μm from the surface of the threaded bottom part.

2. A method for manufacturing a threaded joint for an oil well pipe, comprising a step of injecting and spraying particles having a hardness of HRC50 or more and having a particle diameter of 30 to 300 μm to a surface of the threaded joint to be treated at air pressure of 0.3 to 0.5 MPa.

3. The method for manufacturing the threaded joint for an oil well pipe according to claim 2 , wherein a thread shape of the threaded joint for an oil well pipe one of an API buttress thread and a round thread.

4. The method for manufacturing the threaded joint for an oil well pipe according to claim 2 , wherein the particle diameter is 50 to 100 μm.

5. The method for manufacturing the threaded joint for an oil well pipe according to claim 2 , wherein the particles are injected and sprayed to only an incomplete threaded portion of the threaded joint.

6. The method for manufacturing the threaded joint for an oil well pipe according to claim 2 , wherein the particles are injected and sprayed at 3 sec/cm 2 or less.

7. The method for manufacturing the threaded joint for an oil well pipe according to claim 3 , wherein the particle diameter is 50 to 100 μm.

8. The method for manufacturing the threaded joint for an oil well pipe according to claim 3 , wherein the particles are injected and sprayed to only an incomplete threaded portion of the threaded joint.

9. The method for manufacturing the threaded joint for an oil well pipe according to claim 4 , wherein the particles are injected and sprayed to only an incomplete threaded portion of the threaded joint.

10. The method for manufacturing the threaded joint for an oil well pipe according to claim 3 , wherein the particles are injected and sprayed at 3 sec/cm 2 or less.

11. The method for manufacturing the threaded joint for an oil well pipe according to claim 4 , wherein the particles are injected and sprayed at 3 sec/cm 2 or less.

12. The method for manufacturing the threaded joint for an oil well pipe according to claim 5 , wherein the particles are injected and sprayed at 3 sec/cm 2 or less.
