Abstract

A martensitic stainless steel oil country tubular good contains, by mass, 0.005% to 0.1% C, 0.05% to 1% Si, 1.5% to 5% Mn, at most 0.05% P, at most 0.01% S, 9% to 13% Cr, at most 0.5% Ni, at most 2% Mo, at most 2% Cu, 0.001% to 0.1% Al, and 0.001% to 0.1% N, with the balance being Fe and impurities, and the pipe has a Cr-depleted region under the surface. The martensitic stainless steel oil country tubular good according to the present invention does not have a passive film on the surface and corrodes wholly at low speed. In addition, the Ni content is reduced, which allows uneven corrosion to be prevented. Therefore, SCC can be prevented from being generated in spite of the presence of a Cr-depleted region.

Claims (4)

1. A tempering-omitted martensitic stainless steel seamless oil country tubular good, comprising, by mass, 0.005% to 0.1% C, 0.05% to 1% Si, 1.7% to 5% Mn, at most 0.05% P, at most 0.01% S, 9% to 13% Cr, at most 0.13% Ni, at most 2% Mo, at most 2% Cu, 0.001% to 0.1% Al, and 0.001% to 0.1% N, with the balance being Fe and impurities, said oil country tubular good having a Cr-depleted region under the surface, which is a part having a Cr concentration of 8.5% or less by mass in a region from a surface to a depth of less than 100 μm toward an inside of the tempering-omitted martensitic stainless steel seamless oil country tubular good.

2. The martensitic stainless steel seamless oil country tubular good according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one of 0.005% to 0.5% Ti, 0.005% to 0.5% V, 0.005% to 0.5% Nb, and 0.005% to 0.5% Zr.

3. The martensitic stainless steel seamless oil country tubular good according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one of 0.0002% to 0.005% B, 0.0003% to 0.005% Ca, 0.0003% to 0.005% Mg, and 0.0003% to 0.005% of a rare earth element.

4. The martensitic stainless steel seamless oil country tubular good according to claim 2 , further comprising at least one of 0.0002% to 0.005% B, 0.0003% to 0.005% Ca, 0.0003% to 0.005% Mg, and 0.0003% to 0.005% of a rare earth element.
