Abstract
An oil-well steel pipe according to the present disclosure includes: a pipe main body that includes a pin which includes a pin contact surface, and a box which includes a box contact surface; and a Zn—Ni alloy plating layer which is formed on at least one of the pin contact surface and the box contact surface. The chemical composition of the pipe main body contains, in mass %, C:0.01 to 0.60%, Cr:0 to 8.0% and Fe:80.0% or more. In addition, when a region containing C in an amount that, in mass %, is 1.5 times or more greater than the C content of the pipe main body is defined as a C-concentrated layer, the thickness of the C-concentrated layer in the wall thickness direction of the pipe main body is within the range of 0 to 1.50 μm.
Claims4
An oil-well steel pipe, comprising:
- a pipe main body including a first end portion and a second end portion;
- a chemical composition of the pipe main body containing, in mass %:
- C:
- 0.01 to 0.60%,
- Cr:
- 0 to 8.0%, and
- Fe:
- 80.0% or more;
- wherein
- the pipe main body includes:
- a pin formed at the first end portion, and
- a box formed at the second end portion;
- the pin includes:
- a pin contact surface including an external thread part;
- and
- the box includes:
- a box contact surface including an internal thread part;
- the oil-well steel pipe further comprising:
- a Zn—Ni alloy plating layer formed on at least one of the pin contact surface and the box contact surface,
- wherein
- when a region containing C in an amount that, in mass %, is 1.5 times or more greater than a C content of the pipe main body is defined as a C-concentrated layer,
- in the Zn—Ni alloy plating layer, a thickness of the C-concentrated layer in a wall thickness direction of the pipe main body is within a range of 0 to 1.50 μm.
