Abstract

The seamless steel pipe according to the present disclosure includes a base material and a decarburized layer formed on the surface of the base material. The chemical composition of the base material consists of, in mass %, C: 0.20 to 0.50%, Si: 0.05 to 0.50%, Mn: 0.01 to 1.00%, P: 0.0300% or less, S: 0.0100% or less, Al: 0.005 to 0.100%, Cr: 0.30 to 1.20%, Mo: 0.30 to 1.50%, Ti: 0.002 to 0.050%, V: 0.01 to 0.30%, Nb: 0.002 to 0.100%, B: 0.0001 to 0.0050%, N: 0.0100% or less, O: 0.0050% or less, and with the balance being Fe and impurities. The base material has a yield strength of 655 MPa or more, and a yield ratio of 85.0% or more. The decarburized layer has a depth of 150 μm or less.
