Wellheads, X-mas trees, and BOPs require BÖHLER steels with high strength and corrosion resistance. Key quality features include ultra-clean materials, full traceability, controlled heat treatment, and rigorous testing for safe operation.
Wellhead systems, Christmas trees, manifolds (including tubing hangers), and blowout preventers (BOPs) are among the most critical safety components in oil and gas operations. These systems operate under extreme pressures, temperature variations, and highly corrosive environments containing H₂S, CO₂, brines, and hydrocarbons. Material requirements are therefore exceptionally stringent, focusing on high strength, fracture toughness, resistance to stress corrosion cracking, and immunity to hydrogen embrittlement. In addition, reliable sealing performance and dimensional stability under cyclic loading are essential to ensure safe well control and prevent catastrophic failures.
BÖHLER high-performance steels and alloys are specifically engineered to meet these demanding and safety-critical requirements. Advanced quenched and tempered steels, corrosion-resistant alloys (CRA), and precipitation-hardened stainless steels provide optimized combinations of strength, toughness, and resistance to aggressive media. Produced using advanced melting and refining technologies, BÖHLER materials ensure exceptional cleanliness, low inclusion content, and homogeneous microstructures, significantly enhancing fatigue resistance and reliability. Key quality features include strict control of chemical composition, certified traceability, and precisely controlled heat treatment processes tailored to meet industry standards such as API requirements. Comprehensive testing, including fracture toughness, corrosion resistance, and non-destructive inspection, ensures consistent performance. BÖHLER materials enable safe, durable, and reliable operation of wellhead and pressure control systems.

Číst víceBÖHLER N700 is a corrosion-resistant steel in the form of bars, wire and forgings in the solution-annealed condition. It is a martensitic, precipitation-hardenable chromium-nickel-copper steel with high strength and toughness. Further increases in strength can be achieved by cold forming and subsequent precipitation hardening.

Číst víceBÖHLER P511 is a weldable, non-magnetic, austenitic steel with resistance to seawater and intergranular corrosion. This austenitic, stainless Cr-Ni-Mn-Mo-N steel has higher corrosion resistance than Cr-Ni-Mo grades 316, 316L, 317 and 317L and approximately twice the yield strength at room temperature. In addition, BÖHLER P511 has very good mechanical properties at both high and low temperatures. Unlike many austenitic stainless steels, it does not become magnetic when cold-formed or cooled to sub-zero temperatures. Thanks to its excellent notched impact strength at -196 °C (-320 °F), BÖHLER P511 is particularly suitable for low-temperature applications. Typical applications are found in the oil and gas, chemical, fertilizer, paper, textile, food and marine industries for components requiring a combination of excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, e.g. pumps, valves and fittings, fasteners, cables, chains, ship fittings, boat and valve shafts, heat exchanger parts and springs.

It offers the best abrasion resistance of all stainless steels. The corrosion resistance of BÖHLER P513 is better than that of conventional austenitic Cr-Ni steels (type 304), and even better than Cr-Ni-Mo steel (type 316) under standard test conditions against chloride pitting, stress corrosion cracking and crevice corrosion. BÖHLER P513 is an alloy with a high silicon and manganese content and added nitrogen, which also works well at high temperatures around 1800 ºF. Silicon and manganese prevent wear and scuffing even in the annealed condition. Higher strengths can be achieved by cold forming, but this does not significantly improve abrasion resistance. BÖHLER P513 is used in the aerospace, food and pharmaceutical, oilfield, petrochemical, surgical and chemical industries, e.g. for valve stems and valve seats, fastening systems, shielding, chain drive systems, pins, bushings and roller bearings, wear rings and pistons in pumps.
