Abstract

A method for making a downhole tool material for a hydrocarbon well that includes solution heat treating a precipitation hardening nickel alloy; cold working the alloy following the solution heat treating; aging the alloy following the cold working and the material made therefrom.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for making a downhole tool material for a hydrocarbon well, comprising:
 solution heat treating a precipitation hardening nickel alloy;   cold working the alloy following the solution heat treating;   aging the alloy following the cold working.   
     
     
         2 . The method for making a downhole tool material as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the solution heat treating is at a temperature range of from about 1600F to about 2000F. 
     
     
         3 . The method for making a downhole tool material as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the solution heat treating is at a time range of from about ½ to about 4 hours. 
     
     
         4 . The method for making a downhole tool material as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the cold working is flow forming. 
     
     
         5 . The method for making a downhole tool material as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the flow forming cold works the material from about 20%- about 90% 
     
     
         6 . The method for making a downhole tool material as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the aging is in a temperature range from about 1000° F. to about 1500° F. 
     
     
         7 . The method for making a downhole tool material as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the aging time is between about 2 and about 25 hours. 
     
     
         8 . A downhole tool material produced by the method of  claim 1 .
