The paper presents the results of tribotechnical studies of anti-wear properties of iron-based coatings for light-alloy drill pipes made of aluminum alloys. The description of the tribotechnical stand simulating real processes of drilling in a wide range of conditions is given. Also, the analysis of corrosion resistance of coatings by electrochemical analysis was carried out. The results showed that there is a potential for the use of this type of coating.

Abstract Sandvik Ti-3Al-2.5V Grade 9 titanium-aluminum alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance, especially to chloride media, and has a high strength-to-weight ratio, which is especially suitable for use in aerospace applications. Tubing can be produced having a CSR (contractile strain ratio) that enhances the fatigue endurance limit. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength as well as fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, machining, and joining. Filing Code: TI-109. Producer or source: Sandvik.

Abstract Magnesium alloys are now widely used for various purposes due to their unique properties despite the significant disadvantage associated with low corrosion resistance. The plasma-electrolytic oxidation (PEO), which allows the formation of ceramic coatings on the surface of magnesium alloys, is the most advanced and effective method for their protection. But firstly, PEO process of magnesium alloys has some difficulties, and secondly, PEO coatings affect the thermophysical characteristics of the modified materials, in particular they reduce thermal diffusivity. The presented work is devoted to the development of the technological parameters for formation of protective coating on the ultra-light alloy Mg-8Li-1Al-0.6Ce-0.3Y by the PEO method. The results analyses of electrolytes acidity and specific electrical conductivity before and after PEO process and also investigation data of the coatings structure and surface morphology are presented. An integral assessment of the ability of thermal diffusivity and corrosion resistance of the modified alloy was made. Studying of protective and thermophysical characteristics of the obtained coating showed that it provides a sufficiently high corrosion protection, despite the relatively small thickness, and the presence of pores and slightly (not more than 5%) reduces the thermal diffusivity of the magnesium ultra-light alloy.

Special aluminum alloys appear to be promising materials for manufacture of high-strength light-alloy drill pipes (HSLADP) that can be used in areas with a severe climate and challenging geology. The effect of using light-alloy drill pipes (LADP) depends directly on the properties of the aluminum alloys from which such pipes are made. As the wells become deeper and horizontal wellbores get longer, use of LADPs becomes more relevant. Since light-alloy pipes are 2.8 times softer than steel pipes, LADPs offer the same performance as steel drill pipes of the lowest strength grade even in the case of rotary drilling. The materials from which such pipes are made have a number of unique advantages: extra light weight in the drill mud, allowing the coefficient of sliding friction between the pipe surface and the borehole wall to be reduced; high corrosion resistance in aggressive media with A high concentration of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide; and high magnetic inductive capacity that allows LADPs to be used as a housing for MWD (measurement while drilling) and LWD (logging while drilling) telemetry systems during well-drilling operations. This study suggests methods for industrial production of submicrocrystalline (SMC) structure in aluminum alloys with the help of severe plastic deformation. Through the example of model aluminum-lithium alloys 1420 (Al-Mg-Li-Zr) and 1460 (Al-Сu-Li-Zr), the researchers demonstrate that SMC structure helps significantly increase resistance to wear and reduce the rate of corrosion depending on the pH value. The research team also states that severe plastic deformation methods may be used to develop highly promising technologies for manufacture of high-strength LADPs with advanced strain-stress properties for use during operations in the Arctic.

Petroleum and natural gas exploration and development are deepening, and the environment and stratum conditions encountered are becoming more and more complex. There are many high-temperature, high-pressure, high-corrosion wells, and the number of ultra-short horizontal directional wells, ultra-deep wells, and extended reach wells are also increasing. The steel drill pipe has not been able to meet and adapt to these requirements. Titanium alloy drill pipe has a series of advantages such as low density, high specific strength, excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, fatigue resistance, non-magnetic and good flexibility. It is suitable for the development of modern petroleum industry. This article discusses the use of titanium alloy drill pipe in domestic and foreign drilling in horizontal wells with short radius, the design of alloy components in titanium alloy drill pipes, body pipe processing, joint connection and corrosion resistance. Combining the practical application of titanium alloy drill pipe points out the current problems. Finally, from the aspect of drilling cycle, production safety and cost saving, the development and application of titanium alloy drill pipes in deep wells, ultra-deep wells and deep-sea drilling operations are prospected.

The paper investigates wear resistance and corrosion resistance of protective coatings of D16 aluminum alloy under conditions that simulate operation of drill pipes. The paper also presents microstructure of coatings, electrochemical potential and corrosion rate of D16 aluminum alloy with various coatings. We evaluated adhesion and wear resistance of these coatings. D16 alloy with a tungsten carbide coating has the widest range of service properties and can be used to effectively protect the surface of aluminum drill pipes during operation operation.
