As one of the core equipment components of oil and gas drilling rig, derrick is also the main heavy-duty component. Working environment of derrick is quite bad, the material for which should have not only high strength, but also good plasticity, toughness and weldability. In this paper, the chemical composition, microstructure, tensile properties, impact properties and hardness of three typical Q690D high strength low alloy steel manufactured from different methods were studied. The application feasibility of Q690 for drilling derrick manufacture was analyzed. The experimental results show that the carbon equivalent, tensile properties and impact absorption energy of Q690D steel with different thickness obtained by TMCP and Q-T process were obviously higher than the requirement of corresponding standard. TMCP Q690D steel had better toughness, lower carbon content and carbon equivalent, and its micro-structure was granular bainite. Carbon content of Q-T Q690D steel plate was relatively higher than that of TMCP Q690D, and the toughness was slightly lower than that of TMCP Q690D. The microstructure Q-T Q690D was tempered sorbite, and there was certain zonal segregation in center part. The thickness of steel plate used in derrick was usually less than 40 mm, whose manufacturing technology of Q690D was mature. There is broad application prospect in the field of drilling equipment. The application of Q690D for drilling equipment not only improve the strength grade of equipment materials, but also help to optimize the design of components and ensure service safety.

Drilling equipment is the key of oil and gas drilling development. Its manufacturing quality and service performance have important influence on oil and gas drilling development safety. The application of high strength grade steel plays an important role in improving drilling equipment manufacturing level and service performance. In this paper, the chemical composition, microstructure, tensile properties, impact properties and hardness of TMCP Q550D and Q-T Q550D high-strength low-alloy steel were tested and compared, and the application feasibility for drilling equipment manufacture was analyzed comprehensively. The experimental results show that the mechanical properties of Q550D by two different methods were obviously higher than the requirement of national standard. Q550D steel had excellent plasticity and toughness, which meets the requirement of drilling equipment manufacture. The main difference between different steel lied in their chemical composition and micro-structure. Carbon content of TMCP Q550D steel plate was lower than that of QT Q550D, and TMCP Q550 was mainly depend on TMCP technology and micro-alloy elements, whose micro-structure was mainly granular bainite. Q-T Q550D was mainly depend on Q-T technology, and its microstructure was tempered sorbite with obvious banded structure and slightly low toughness.
