Project Description

AMAGNIT 601 Non-Magnetic Steel Overview

AMAGNIT 601 peeled and drilled round bars ready for downhole integration

AMAGNIT 601 non-magnetic steel is a premium chromium manganese low carbon alloy engineered for the most demanding downhole environments. Utilizing advanced VOD process austenitic steel manufacturing combined with a proprietary rotary hammer warm forging technology, this material achieves a highly stable, ferrite-free austenitic structure. As a highly reliable stress corrosion cracking resistant steel, it delivers exceptional performance where structural integrity and operational safety are paramount.

The core Amagnit 601 alloy steel properties include high mechanical strength, consistent low magnetic permeability austenitic steel characteristics (µ max 1.010), and an inherent non-galling tendency, ensuring seamless operation in magnetic-sensitive drilling applications. Standard supply features Amagnit 601 peeled drilled round bars, precision-prepared for immediate integration into drill string components. For projects requiring elevated metallurgical cleanliness, ESR remelted Amagnit 601 steel is available to further enhance homogeneity and performance reliability.

Applications in Directional Drilling

Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of directional drilling, Oil & Gas extraction, and Mining, AMAGNIT 601 is utilized in critical downstream products. Its stable low permeability makes it the preferred choice for magnetic-sensitive tools. We supply material specifically for non-magnetic drill collars for directional and MWD drilling, ensuring accurate downhole measurements without magnetic interference.

  • MWD and LWD housings requiring precise dimensional tolerance
  • Compressive service drill pipes (flex collars) for enhanced flexibility
  • Stabilizers and heavy-weight drill pipe subs
  • Downhole tools operating in aggressive chloride-rich environments
  • Mining and rock drilling components requiring high impact toughness and non-magnetic properties

Specifications & Standards Compliance

As a proprietary material formulated for specialized oilfield applications, AMAGNIT 601 does not directly map to a single generic ASTM or DIN material grade. However, its testing, manufacturing, and compliance align with the following industry standards, ensuring it meets stringent requirements as a top-tier non-magnetic steel.

API
Compliant with API specifications for drill string components and non-magnetic collars.
ASTM A 370
Standard for mechanical testing of steel products, verifying yield, tensile, and elongation properties.
ASTM A 262 Practice E
Standard for detecting intergranular corrosion in austenitic stainless steels, ensuring SCC resistance.
ASTM G 36 / G 38
Standards for stress corrosion cracking testing in chloride environments, critical for downhole integrity.

Melting, Processing & Heat Treatment

Shunfu Metal offers flexible melting routes for AMAGNIT 601 to match your specific quality requirements. The conventional route utilizes an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) followed by Ladle Furnace (LF) and Vacuum Degassing (VD) or VOD refining. For enhanced purity, ESR or PESR can be integrated. For critical applications, the VIM + VAR route is available. As a chromium manganese austenitic steel, an AOD process can also be incorporated.

Heat Treatment Processes for AMAGNIT 601
Process Type Description / Parameters
Rotary Hammer Warm Forging Proprietary temperature/time cycle combined with chemical analysis to ensure structural stability
Solution Annealing Applied to achieve fully austenitic, ferrite-free structure and optimize mechanical properties
Compressive Layer Treatment Stress compressive layer applied to the bore of collars to increase resistance to SCC

Surface Finish & Machining Capabilities

Shunfu Metal provides comprehensive surface finishing and precision machining for AMAGNIT 601. Standard delivery includes peeled and drilled surfaces via turning and BTA boring. We further offer CNC milling, grinding, and long-distance gunhole drilling for complex MWD housing geometries. To enhance fatigue life and SCC resistance, roller burnishing and shot peening are available for downhole tool bores. Our machining capabilities achieve surface roughness down to Ra 1.6 µm for precision bores, with dimensional tolerances strictly controlled within ±0.05mm.

Quality Assurance & Packing

Shunfu Metal enforces rigorous quality control across pre-production, in-process, and final stages. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) verifies internal soundness. We conduct comprehensive chemical composition analysis, mechanical property testing (ASTM A 370), dimensional verification, and metallographic inspection. Corrosion resistance is validated through intergranular attack testing (ASTM A 262 Practice E) and SCC evaluations (ASTM G 36 / G 38). Material certification is provided under EN 10204 3.1, with 3.2 certificates available upon request. Third-party inspections by SGS or TÜV can be arranged. All processes operate under our API Q1 and ISO 9001 certified quality management systems.

Packing protocols are tailored to product finish. Black skin forged bars are securely wire-tied and blocked to prevent container damage. For bright surfaces and precision-machined components, multiple packaging materials—including wooden crates and shock-absorbing wraps—are utilized to preserve surface roughness and dimensional tolerances. Anti-rust measures, including specialized oil coatings, guarantee zero oxidation throughout maritime shipping.
