Data sheet P 530

Revision 12

1. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

„P530“ is a special nonmagnetic, austenitic Mn-Cr-N-steel with a Nickel-content of ≤ 2%.

CMnCrMoNNi

2. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Following mechanical properties (tested at room temperature) are achieved by a special cold-working process over the full length of the collar:

Hardness Brinell: (min.):260-350 HB 260-350 HB

3. MAGNETIC PROPERTIES

Relative permeability: ≤ 1,001.

4. CORROSION RESISTANCE
Transgranular SCC: Prevented by special surface treatments (Hammer peening, roller burnishing, shot peening).

Intergranular SCC: The occurrence of material sensitization is prevented by quenching after warmforging. Each collar is tested according to ASTM A 262, Pract.A and E, last edition.

5. NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

• Magnetic inspection: Drill collars are 100% tested by a proprietary probe-testing process using a Förster Magnetomat 1.782. (“Hot Spot“-test). Magnetic permeability of each collar is certified with the printout of probe-testing.

• Ultrasonic inspection: Each collar is ultrasonically inspected over 100% of the volume according to ASTM E 114, last edition as a minimum level.

6. GALLING RESISTANCE
„P530“ is due to the chemical composition and the special coldworking process less susceptible to galling than Cr-Ni steels.

Non-Magnetic material optimized for MWD-collars and stabilizers (higher strength and endurance) is available on special request.
P530-Non-Magnetic Drill Collars meet all requirements of API Spec. 7.1, last edition.
All tests are carried out according to ASTM-Standards, last editions.
