Increasing the Fatigue Life of 40Cr Steel in Drilling Muds with Corrosion Inhibitors

View through CrossRef
The fatigue life of 40Cr steel (SAE 5140) in drilling mud and inhibited mud was studied with a self-made, rotating bending corrosion fatigue testing apparatus. A significant improvement was found in the inhibited drilling fluids. As expected, 40Cr steel was susceptible to rapid failure through H embrittlement in drilling muds containing H2S, but chemical control with corrosion inhibitors resulted in a desirable improvement in corrosion fatigue life. Fractographic studies by scanning electron microscopy showed that the toughness of 40Cr was increased by the addition of corrosion inhibitors. In H2S-free drilling mud, the fatigue life increased almost 400% after adding corrosion inhibitors and an O2 scavenger. The mechanism of corrosion inhibition on pure iron and 40Cr has been studied by measuring polarization curves and hydrogen permeation rates.
