USE - Graphene-based steel tubes, pipes or risers used for conveying petroleum, gas and biofuels, for use in underwater riser systems for deep water with a direct application in petroleum industry, and for use as a component of complex product, such as pipelines, gas pipelines, rigid or flexible risers, subsea connections, tubular connections in different shapes, columns, wells, oil storage tanks, oil production structures, drilling platforms, semi-submersibles, helipads, towers or mobile offshore drilling units. (all claimed). ADVANTAGE - The graphene-based steel tubes, pipes or risers comprise aluminum, cobalt, copper and chromium, and thus ensures improved characteristics of geometry, chemical composition, microstructure and mechanical properties, like resistance to plastic deformation and residual stress profile with reduced crack propagation, improved surface cleaning and enhanced adhesion of coating layer. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The graphene-based steel tubes, pipes or risers comprise essential alloying elements including 0.01-0.3 wt.% of aluminum, 0.01-2.0 wt.% of cobalt, 0.01-2.0 wt.% of copper, 0.1-18.0 wt.% of chromium, 0.1-3.0 wt.% of manganese, 0.1-0.6 wt.% of molybdenum, 0.1-3.0 wt.% of nickel, 0.01-0.8 wt.% of silicon, 0.1-3.0 wt.% of tungsten, 0.01-0.1 wt.% of vanadium. 0.8 wt.% of nitrogen, 0.25 wt.% of niobium, 0.006 wt.% of calcium, and 0.03 wt.% of titanium are also included. The graphene-based chemical composition has a carbon content between 0.01-21.0 wt.%, which is functionalized with functional groups including poly -COOH, -NO, -NH2, -CN, -CCH, -CH3, -CaC6, YbC6, -C60H2, -OH, -H, -F, -HCl, -HF, -F2 or -NHNH2.
