Abstract

A high strength Cr—Ni alloy material excellent in hot workability and stress corrosion cracking resistance, and seamless pipe for oil well application which consists of, by mass percent, C: 0.05% or less, Si: 0.05 to 1.0%, Mn: 0.01% or more and less than 3.0%, P: 0.05% or less, S: 0.005% or less, Cu: 0.01 to 4%, Ni: 25% or more and less than 35%, Cr: 20 to 30%, Mo: 0.01% or more and less than 4.0%, N: 0.10 to 0.30%, Al: 0.03 to 0.30%, O (oxygen): 0.01% or less, and REM (rare earth metal): 0.01 to 0.20% with the balance being Fe and impurities, and also satisfies the conditions in the following formula (1). N×P /REM≦0.40  formula (1) where P, N, and REM in the formula (1) respectively denote the contents (mass %) of P, N, and REM. The high strength Cr—Ni alloy material may further contain one or more types of W, Ti, Nb, Zr, V, Ca, and Mg, instead of part of Fe.

Claims (13)

1. A high strength Cr—Ni alloy material which consists of, by mass percent, C: 0.05% or less, Si: 0.05 to 1.0%, Mn: 0.01% to 1.0%, P: 0.05% or less, S: 0. 005% or less, Cu: 0.1 to 4%, Ni: 25% or more and less than 33%, Cr: 20 to 30%, Mo: 0.01% or more and less than 3.5%, N: 0.10 to 0.30%, Al: 0.10 to 0.30%, O (oxygen): 0.01% or less, and REM (rare earth metal): 0.01 to 0.20%, with the balance being Fe and impurities, and also satisfies the conditions in the following formula (1).

N×P /REM≦0.40  formula (1)

where P, N, and REM in the formula (1) respectively denote the contents (mass %) of P, N, and REM.

2. The high strength Cr—Ni alloy material according to claim 1 , characterized by further, instead of part of Fe, containing, by mass percent, one or more selected from the first to third groups below:

the first group: W at less than 8.0%,
