Method of producing steel pipe material for oil well

摘要

The method of producing steel pipe material for an oil well is characterized in that, as for the chemical composition of steel, B contained steel is adopted avoiding the addition of Ti which increases the values of non-metallic inclusions to decrease machinability, the value of N is limited to not more than 0.003% to be decreased in content of nitrides, coarse crystal grains due to the decreased content of N are prevented through austenizing of steel under rapid heating, so that such a steel pipe material for an oil well can be obtained that which has resistance to sulfide stress corrosion in addition to satisfactory strength and machinability.
