Description

       

  "Procédé de fabrication de rouleaux de tube en cuivre ou alliage de cuivre".

  
La présente invention est relative à un procédé de fabrication de rouleaux de tube, en cuivre ou en alliage de cuivre, présentant sur leur surface interne une faible teneur en carbone. 

  
Les rouleaux de tube en cuivre ou en alliage de cuivre doivent pouvoir être déroulés sur chantier lors de leur placement; ils doivent donc être malléables et, pour

  
ce faire, il est nécessaire après fabrication de les recuire.

  
D'autre part, pour fabriquer ces tubes il est nécessaire, pour les étirer entre une filière et un mandrin formant un espace annulaire, de disposer un lubrifiant entre cette filière et ce mandrin. 

  
Lors du recuit, dont il vient d'être question, les traces de lubrifiant formées d'hydrocarbures (huiles d'étirage) et se trouvant à l'intérieur des tubes sont mises en contact avec l'atmosphère réductrice du four de traitement thermique utilisé pour le recuit, atmosphère réductrice qui est nécessaire pour éviter l'oxydation des rouleaux de tube lors de leur recuit. Ces huiles sont distillées en atmosphère réductrice et conduisent à la formation de dépôt de carbone. Les traces de carbone peuvent entraîner, lorsque les tubes sont mis en service pour des canalisations d'eau par exemple, en présence d'eau froide et chargée en sels, notamment en chlorure et sulfate, des corrosions localisées par piqûres.

  
Si l'on a pu jusqu'à présent réduire la teneur en carbone résiduelle des tubes, donc après recuit, en injectant à l'intérieur de ceux-ci à grande vitesse un mélange d'air et de particules abrasives, telles que l'alumine ou le carbure

  
de silicium, ce procédé n'est toutefois applicable qu'aux tubes en longueur droite et les tubes en rouleaux ne peuvent être traités par ce procédé d'une façon efficace.

  
Pour les rouleaux de tube est connu un procédé, qui consiste à injecter dans le rouleau avant recuit un liquide dégraissant, tel que le trichloréthylène, puis à faire passer à l'intérieur du tube un courant de vapeur d'eau. Par ce procédé, on réalise sur la surface intérieure des tubes recuits des teneurs en carbone qui approchent d'une valeur réduite, c'est-à-dire de 0,3 mg/dm<2>.

  
Cependant, ce dernier procédé ne permet pas de réaliser d'une façon reproductible une teneur en carbone inférieure à 0,3 mg/dm<2>, teneur qui serait souhaitable pour doter le tube en cuivre ou en alliage de cuivre d'une résistance élevée en présence d'eau froide agressive.

  
Pour remédier aux inconvénients des procédés existants, le procédé qui fait l'objet de l'invention consiste à injecter dans le tube en rouleau, avant son traitement de recuit, un mélange gazeux.

  
Suivant l'invention, le mélange gazeux contient un gaz inerte chimiquement avec le cuivre, tel que l'azote, l'argon, etc., et de l'oxygène.

  
Lors du recuit dans le four à atmosphère réductrice, l'oxygène réagit avec les hydrocarbures résiduels d'étirage contenus à l'intérieur du tube pour former des gaz volatils tels que le monoxyde ou le dioxyde de carbone, qui sont éliminés du tube.

  
Ainsi, il est possible d'obtenir un tube en rouleau recuit, dont la surface interne présente une teneur en carbone résiduelle inférieure à 0,3 mg/dm .

  
La teneur en oxygène est ajustée dans l'atmosphère injectée dans le tube, de telle façon qu'elle ne forme pas lors du recuit de dépôt pulvérulent d'oxydes.

  
A titre d'exemple, on peut citer l'essai suivant :
Un rouleau de tube en cuivre phosphoreux (phosphore

Chaque extrémité du rouleau est fermée par compres- <EMI ID=2.1>

La teneur en carbone résiduelle mesurée sur la surface intérieure du rouleau recuit est de 0,1 mg/dm .

  "Method of manufacturing rolls of copper or copper alloy tube".

  
The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing tube rolls, made of copper or of a copper alloy, having on their internal surface a low carbon content.

  
The rolls of copper or copper alloy tube must be able to be unwound on site during their placement; they must therefore be malleable and, for

  
to do this, it is necessary after manufacture to anneal them.

  
On the other hand, to manufacture these tubes it is necessary, in order to stretch them between a die and a mandrel forming an annular space, to place a lubricant between this die and this mandrel.

  
During annealing, which has just been discussed, the traces of lubricant formed from hydrocarbons (drawing oils) and located inside the tubes are brought into contact with the reducing atmosphere of the heat treatment furnace used. for annealing, reducing atmosphere which is necessary to avoid oxidation of the tube rolls during their annealing. These oils are distilled in a reducing atmosphere and lead to the formation of carbon deposit. Traces of carbon can lead, when the tubes are put into service for water pipes for example, in the presence of cold water loaded with salts, in particular chloride and sulphate, localized corrosion by pitting.

  
Although it has so far been possible to reduce the residual carbon content of the tubes, therefore after annealing, by injecting inside them at high speed a mixture of air and abrasive particles, such as alumina or carbide

  
silicon, however, this process is only applicable to straight length tubes and roll tubes cannot be effectively processed by this process.

  
For tube rolls, a process is known which consists in injecting a degreasing liquid, such as trichlorethylene, into the roll before annealing, then passing a stream of water vapor inside the tube. By this process, carbon contents approaching a reduced value, that is to say 0.3 mg / dm <2>, are produced on the inner surface of the annealed tubes.

  
However, this latter process does not make it possible to reproducibly achieve a carbon content of less than 0.3 mg / dm <2>, which content would be desirable to provide the copper or copper alloy tube with a resistance. high in the presence of aggressive cold water.

  
To remedy the drawbacks of the existing methods, the method which is the subject of the invention consists in injecting into the rolled tube, before its annealing treatment, a gas mixture.

  
According to the invention, the gas mixture contains a gas chemically inert with copper, such as nitrogen, argon, etc., and oxygen.

  
During annealing in the reducing atmosphere furnace, oxygen reacts with the residual drawing hydrocarbons contained within the tube to form volatile gases such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, which are removed from the tube.

  
Thus, it is possible to obtain an annealed roll tube, the inner surface of which has a residual carbon content of less than 0.3 mg / dm.

  
The oxygen content is adjusted in the atmosphere injected into the tube, so that it does not form during annealing a powder deposit of oxides.

  
By way of example, the following test may be cited:
A roll of phosphorous copper tubing (phosphorus

Each end of the roll is closed by compres- <EMI ID = 2.1>

The residual carbon content measured on the inner surface of the annealed roll is 0.1 mg / dm.
