The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a spring of a derrick centralizer, which comprises the following
processing steps: (1) selecting an
austenitic stainless steel wire as a material of the spring; (2) performing
solution treatment, namely heating the steel wire to between 1,050 and 1,100 DEG C under the protection of
atmosphere, preserving the temperature for 25 to 35min, and cooling the steel wire by water to normal temperature; (3) performing cold drawing on the steel wire to make the steel wire have a required
diameter; (4) coiling the steel wire on a spring coiling
machine; (5) performing relief annealing, namely heating the coiled spring to between 390 and 410 DEG C in a
tempering furnace under the protection of
atmosphere, and preserving the temperature for 25 to 30 minutes; (6) combining end rings of the spring, and correcting the spring; (7) performing treatment of removing
residual stress, namely pressing two ends of the spring tightly to make the rings of the spring combined and formed, heating the spring at a temperature of between 240 and 270 DEG C, preserving the temperature for more than or equal to 3h, and cooling the spring by air to
room temperature; and (8) performing one-stage or multi-stage shot
cold hardening on the spring. The spring of the derrick centralizer manufactured by the method can strengthen
corrosion resistance and
fatigue resistance under severe working conditions in
oil field, while meeting the requirement on the characteristics of the spring, and.
