Resumo

A utilização de tubos de aço C-Mn na indústria de óleo e gás é muito comum desde o nascimento desta indústria. Mesmo com a grande evolução da metalurgia destes aços ao longo das últimas décadas, o desafio de desempenho em ambientes severos de corrosão devido às características reativas (H2 S, CO2 ) do petróleo e seus derivados, impõem uma nova era para a fabricação de tubos. A solução tecnológica mais direta seria a utilização de aços com alta liga (Ni, Cr) e/ou superligas de níquel. No entanto, os custos de produção tornariam inviáveis pelo alto custo destes materiais. Neste contexto, é crescente iniciativas de pesquisas para o desenvolvimento de overlay e/ou cladding, ou seja, revestimentos de aços C-Mn usando superligas de níquel e aços inoxidáveis. Neste trabalho, foi utilizada a deposição de uma camada da superliga de níquel Inconel 625 através do processo laser. Uma das desvantagens da deposição a laser ou qualquer outro processo de fusão é a formação de uma região de descontinuidade microestrutural no aço, chamada de ZTA (zona termicamente afetada pelo calor). Neste estudo, diferentes rotas de tratamentos térmicos foram investigadas com o objetivo de eliminar a ZTA e preservar as características originais do substrato e do revestimento.

Abstract

The application of C-Mn steel pipe in the oil & gas industry is quite common since starting of this industry. Even with the great evolution of the metallurgy of this type of steel over the last decades, the challenge is to overcome the corrosion severity caused by sour (H2 S, CO2 ) species present in the petroleum and its derivates. The direct technological solution would be to replace the C-Mn steel by Ni-based superalloys and/or stainless steels. However, the high costs of these materials would make several projects impracticable. In this context, there are several initiatives in order to develop overlay and/or cladding, that means, coatings of C-Mn steels using superalloys and stainless steels. In this work, it was used an overlay deposition of Inconel 625 on the surface of a C-Mn steel using the laser process. A disadvantage of laser deposition, as it is for any deposition melting process, is the formation of a microstructural discontinuity in the steel substrate caused by the thermal cycle (HAZ = heat affected zone). In this study, different heat treatment routes were investigated aiming to eliminate the HAZ preserving the original characteristics of the substrate and of the coating.
