Abstract
Titanium alloys are usually used as the material of oil well pipes in the petroleum industry for its high specific strength, excellent corrosion resistance, high and low temperature resistance performance and high fatigue strength. However, due to inadequate strength and hardness, titanium alloy oil well pipes often suffer from thread galling during casing makeup. In this paper, the phase transformations in titanium alloys were described. Combined with the microstructural and strengthen mechanism of titanium alloys, the concepts for the research and development of anti-galling titanium alloy oil well pipe materials were also discussed.
