Abstract

A seamless steel pipe has a carbon equivalent Ceq of 0.50% to 0.58%, and contains specified carbides containing Mo at a ratio of 50 mass % or more, V, and at least one selected from the group consisting of Ti and Nb, and having a size of 20 nm or more.

Claims (27)

1. A seamless steel pipe comprising, as a chemical composition, by mass %:

C: 0.02% to 0.10%;

Si: 0.05% to 0.5%;

Mn: 1.0% to 2.0%;

Mo: 0.5% to 1.0%;

Cr: 0.1% to 1.0%;

Al: 0.01% to 0.10%;

P: 0.03% or less;

S: 0.005% or less;

Ca: 0.0005% to 0.005%;

V: 0.010% to 0.040%;

N: 0.002% to 0.007%;

at least one selected from the group consisting of Ti: 0.008% or less and Nb: 0.02% to 0.05%; and

a balance comprising Fe and impurities,

wherein a carbon equivalent Ceq defined by the following Formula (1) is 0.50% to 0.58%, and

specified carbides containing Mo at a ratio of 50 mass % or more, V, and at least one selected from the group consisting of Ti and Nb, and having a size defined by an average value of major axes of 20 nm or more are contained,

C eq =C+Mn/6+(Cr+Mo+V)/5+(Ni+Cu)/15  (1)

here, into each of the symbols of elements in the Formula (1), the amount of a unit mass % of a corresponding element is substituted, and in the case where an element corresponding to the symbol of the element is not contained, “0” is substituted into the corresponding symbol of the element,

wherein a yield strength is 550 MPa or more, and a Vickers hardness at a position on an inner side 1 mm away from an inner surface is 248 HV10 or less.

2. The seamless steel pipe according to claim 1 , further comprising

at least one selected from the group consisting of Cu: 1.0% or less and Ni: 1.0% or less in place of some of Fe.

3. The seamless steel pipe according to claim 2 ,

wherein the seamless steel pipe is produced by a process including a quenching and a tempering at 660° C. to 700° C.

4. The seamless steel pipe according to claim 1 ,

wherein the seamless steel pipe is produced by a process including a quenching and a tempering at 660° C. to 700° C.

5. The seamless steel pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the size of the specified carbides is 20 nm to 70 nm.

6. The seamless steel pipe according to claim 1 , wherein a tensile strength is 653 MPa or more.
