The invention discloses high-strength and high-
toughness steel for a
drill rod joint and a preparation method thereof. The high-strength and high-
toughness steel is prepared from the following chemical components in percentage by
mass: 0.35 to 0.38 percent of C, 0.20 to 0.30 percent of Si, 0.90 to 1.10 percent of Mn, less than or equal to 0.010 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.004 percent ofS, 0.90 to 1.20 percent of Cr, 0.25 to 0.35 percent of Mo, 0.05 to 0.15 percent of Ni, 0.01 to 0.04 percent of Nb, 0.010 to 0.030 percent of Ti, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. The preparation method comprises the procedures of electric furnace
smelting, LF refining, VD vacuum degassing,
continuous casting, rolling, segmented
forging and pressing, normalizing,
quenching and
tempering, wherein in the LF refining process,
niobium is added into
molten steel to control the
niobium content to be 0.01 to 0.04 percent by weight; and after the VD vacuum degassing, a
titanium wire is fed for
titanium alloying to control the
titanium content to be 0.010 to 0.030 percent by weight. According to the preparation method, a reasonable
alloy element component design is adopted to obtain the steel for the
drill rod joint with the yield strength of larger than or equal to 920 MPa, the longitudinal
impact absorption energy of larger than or equal to 100 J at the temperature of 20 DEG C,the longitudinal
impact absorption energy of larger than or equal to 90 J at the temperature of 20 DEG C below zero, and the
performance requirement of an ultra-deep well on the
drill rod joint is met.
