Abstract

A steel bar for a downhole member is provided that is excellent in SCC resistance and SSC resistance. A martensitic stainless steel bar material for a downhole member of the present embodiment has a chemical composition that contains, by mass %, C: 0.020% or less, Si: 1.0% or less, Mn: 1.0% or less, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.01% or less, Cu: 0.10 to 2.50%, Cr: 10 to 14%, Ni: 1.5 to 7.0%, Mo: 0.2 to 3.0%, Ti: 0.05 to 0.3%, V: 0.01 to 0.10%, Nb: 0.1% or less, Al: 0.001 to 0.1% and N: 0.05% or less, with the balance being Fe and impurities, and satisfies Formula (1) and Formula (2). [Mo]−4×[total Mo amount in precipitate at R/2 position]≥1.30  (1) [Total Mo amount in precipitate at center position]−[total Mo amount in precipitate at R/2 position]≤0.03  (2)

Claims (34)

1. A steel bar for a downhole member, the steel bar having a diameter of 152.4 to 215.9 mm and having a chemical composition consisting of, by mass %:

C: 0.020 or less,

Si: 1.0 or less,

Mn: 1.0 or less,

P: 0.03 or less,

S: 0.01 or less,

Cu: 0.10 to 2.50,

Cr: 10 to 14,

Ni: 1.5 to 7.0,

Mo: 0.2 to 3.0,

Ti: 0.05 to 0.3,

V: 0.01 to 0.10,

Nb: 0.1 or less,

Al: 0.001 to 0.1,

N: 0.05 or less,

B: 0 to 0.005,

Ca: 0 to 0.008, and

Co: 0 to 0.5,

with the balance being Fe and impurities,

wherein:

when an Mo content in the chemical composition of the steel bar for a downhole member is defined as [Mo amount] (mass %), and an Mo content in precipitate at a position that bisects a line connecting a surface of the steel bar for a downhole member to a center of a cross-section perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the steel bar for a downhole member is defined as [total Mo amount in precipitate at R/2 position] (mass %), the steel bar for a downhole member satisfies Formula (1), and

when an Mo content in precipitate at a center position in a cross-section perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the steel bar for a downhole member is defined as [total Mo amount in precipitate at center position], the steel bar for a downhole member satisfies Formula (2);

[Mo amount]−4×[total Mo amount in precipitate at R/2 position]≤1.30  (1)

[Total Mo amount in precipitate at center position]−[total Mo amount in precipitate at R/2 position]≤0.03  (2).

2. The steel bar for a downhole member according to claim 1 ,

wherein the chemical composition contains, in lieu of a part of Fe, one or more elements selected from a group consisting of:

B: 0.0001 to 0.005 mass %, and

Ca: 0.0005 to 0.008 mass %.

3. The steel bar for a downhole member according to claim 1 ,

wherein the chemical composition contains, in lieu of a part of Fe:

Co: 0.05 to 0.5 mass %.

4. The steel bar for a downhole member according to claim 2 ,

wherein the chemical composition contains, in lieu of a part of Fe:

Co: 0.05 to 0.5 mass %.
