5th International High Manganese Steel Conference - HMNS 2022

Materials used in the oil and gas industry are often exposed to some of the most aggressive industrial environments as the industry has moved towards increasingly more challenging prospects including high pressure, high temperature, ultra-deep water, and severe sour environment. Developing these prospects at a competitive cost while maintaining robust structural integrity is one of the most complex engineering challenges. It does, however, offer the potential to transform existing materials technologies and the opportunity to innovate. High Manganese steels (HMS) have been extensively studied for the applications in automotive industry. This presentation is to highlight the recent development of novel HMS metallurgy for energy industry applications. The proposed paper will describe i) selected R&D and commercialization examples of metallurgical technology development in energy industry with emphasis on unique aspects of industry applications, and ii) emerging opportunities to provide timely and cost-effective materials solutions for future energy industry prospects
