Abstract

Derrick and substructure is one of rig’s core equipment components, and it is also the most important weight component of rig. The working environment of derrick and substructure is very serious, whose material should has high strength, excellent plasticity, toughness and weldability property. In this paper, the chemical composition, micro-structure, tensile property, impact property, hardness and weldability of high strength pipeline steel with strength grades of X70 (485MPa)~ X100(690MPa) were systematically analyzed. The analysis and study of the service environment of rig derrick and substructure as well as the technical requirements of the material, showed that the performance of high strength pipeline steel was obviously better than that of the same grade high strength low alloy structural steel used in rig derrick and substructure at present, and it can fully meet the technical requirement of rig derrick and substructure. The application of high strength pipeline steel to rig derrick and substructure will improve the service property, optimize the design , and fully ensure the service safety of rig derrick and substructure.
