OREANDA-NEWS. September 20, 2011. TISCO No.2 Steel Making Plant successfully produced a certain specification steel used for nonmagnetic drilling tool, which fill the blank of this steel grade in TISCO, reported the press-centre of TISCO.

This steel grade is high strength austenitic nonmagnetic stainless steel, mainly used to make key components of nonmagnetic drill collars and stabilizer for oil well orientation measurement in oil industry, is a kind of stainless steel material with technical content and high added value. At present, in China only Bao Steel can produce this kind of high grade nonmagnetic drill used steel. Because of the characteristics like high strength, high toughness, nonmagnetic and fatigue resistance, this steel grade can resist the bad environment for drilling of measured oil well and satisfy the requirement of oil drilling, therefore, it gains popularity in oil industry.

To ensure this steel grade get success in one trial production, No.2 Steel Making Plant has founded Task Team, under close attention of plant leadership and substantial support of Technology Center, through tackling key problems of ultra-low carbon, high manganese and high nitrogen smelting control and low superheat mold multiple disk casting technology, the Task Team has realized the innovation in aspects of nonmagnetic drill steel smelting and mold casting.

At present, the factory continues to improve the innovation process to make each index of high value-added product on a higher level, further seize market share of high-end products, and make TISCO achieve fast and sound development.
