Abstract

Precipitation behavior of P550 steel for non-magnetic drill collars was investigated by microstructure characterization as well as thermodynamic calculation. The results demonstrate that the main precipitate formed at 650–900 °C was cellular Cr2N, and its precipitation depended heavily on the aging temperature. The most sensitive precipitation temperature of cellular Cr2N was 750 °C. At 750 °C, the cellular Cr2N exhibited fast-slow precipitation kinetics with the aging time prolonging. The initial precipitation of cellular Cr2N was governed by the short-range intergranular diffusion of Cr. During long-term aging, its growth was controlled by the long-range bulk diffusion of Cr. In addition, cellular Cr2N induced the precipitation of σ phase ahead of the cell after long period of aging. Increasing the nitrogen content resulted in the increment of both the nucleation site and the driving force for the cellular Cr2N, which jointly promoted its precipitation.
