Abstract

Prior to working, tubular metal profiles are filled with a relatively incompressible metal or alloy of m.pt. 60-90 deg.C. Pref. the profile is filled with the molten metal or alloy, cooled to room temp., worked and reheated to melt the metal or alloy so that it can be removed. The method is useful in the bending, perforating, etc. of thin walled tubular metal profiles. Use of a metal or alloy filler, instead of e.g. sand, used in prior processes, eliminates faults in the worked prod. and, in the case of drilling, burrs and turnings are removed during removal of the metal or alloy.

Description

       

  "Procédé pour le travail de profilés métalliques tubulaires" La présente invention concerne un procédé pour le travail de profilés métalliques tubulaires, plus particulièrement du type à paroi mince.

  
Le cintrage, la perforation, le fraisage et autres interventions similaires posent des problèmes lors du travail de profilés à parois minces. En effet, sans précautions particulières, on constate immédiatement des défauts mécaniquement bénins, tels que plissements, affaissements locaux ou autres irrégularités, ou alors des défauts plus graves, tels que criques, fissures et/ou tensions internes rémanantes.

  
Il est connu de longue date de remplir des éléments tubulaires par exemple de sable, avant leur cintrage, dans le but d'éviter des déformations "de peau", des plissures et similaires. Ces procédés ne sont toutefois pas économiquement compatibles avec d'autres opérations, telles que le forage, le fraisage et similaires.

  
Le but de l'invention est d'offrir une solution économique et efficace à ce problème.

  
A cet effet, le procédé selon l'invention consiste à remplir préalablement le profilé d'un métal, respectivement d'un alliage métallique, dont la température de fusion est comprise entre environ 60[deg.]C et environ 90[deg.]C.

  
Pour plus de clarté, les figures 1 à 5 annexées illustrent cinq états successifs d'un profilé travaillé conformément au procédé selon l'invention.

  
Dans cet exemple illustratif précis, il s'agit de réaliser un cadre de raquette de tennis à partir d'un profilé tubulaire extrudé 1 (figure 1) en alliage léger. La première phase du procédé consiste à remplir (figure 2) ledit profilé 1 par un métal 2, respectivement un alliage métallique, dont la température de fusion est comprise entre environ 60[deg.]C et
90[deg.]C. Peuvent être envisagés pour cet usage, par exemple des alliages d'étain, de plomb, de cadmium et de bismuth.

  
Le profilé ainsi rempli est ensuite cintré (figure 3) à la forme voulue, puis perforé comme indiqué en 3 (figure 4) pour permettre le cordage ultérieur de la raquette.

  
Le profilé cintré et perforé est ensuite immergé dans un liquide, de l'eau par exemple, porté à une température supérieure à la température de fusion du métal ou de l'alliage 2, afin d'évacuer ce dernier (figure 5).

  
Le métal ou l'alliage 2 est récupéré dudit liquide pour être recyclé.

  
Ce procédé offre l'avantage d'éviter tout défaut dans le profilé travaillé. En outre, dans l'exemple d'application susdécrit, l'évacuation du métal ou de l'alliage 2 entraine celle des éventuelles limailles et des bavures pouvant résulter des

  
 <EMI ID=1.1> 

  
et d'ébarbage dans ce type de fabrication.

  
Il est évident que l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de mise en oeuvre sus décrit, de nombreuses autres applications pouvant être envisagées.

REVENDICATIONS.

  
1.- Procédé pour le travail de profilés métalliques tubulaires, du type dans lequel lesdits profilés sont préalablement remplis d'un produit substantiellement incompressible, caractérisé en ce que ce produit est un métal ou un alliage métallique dont la température de fusion est comprise entre environ 60[deg.]C et environ 90[deg.]C.



  "Method for working tubular metal profiles" The present invention relates to a method for working tubular metal profiles, more particularly of the thin-walled type.

  
Bending, punching, milling and the like are problematic when working with thin-walled profiles. Indeed, without special precautions, we immediately notice mechanically benign faults, such as creases, local subsidence or other irregularities, or more serious faults, such as cracks, cracks and / or residual internal tension.

  
It has long been known to fill tubular elements, for example with sand, before bending them, in order to avoid "skin" deformations, wrinkles and the like. These methods are however not economically compatible with other operations, such as drilling, milling and the like.

  
The object of the invention is to offer an economical and effective solution to this problem.

  
To this end, the method according to the invention consists in previously filling the profile with a metal, respectively with a metal alloy, the melting temperature of which is between approximately 60 [deg.] C and approximately 90 [deg.] vs.

  
For clarity, the appended FIGS. 1 to 5 illustrate five successive states of a profile worked in accordance with the method according to the invention.

  
In this specific illustrative example, it is a matter of making a tennis racket frame from an extruded tubular section 1 (FIG. 1) made of light alloy. The first phase of the process consists in filling (FIG. 2) said profile 1 with a metal 2, respectively a metal alloy, the melting temperature of which is between approximately 60 [deg.] C and
90 [deg.] C. Can be considered for this use, for example alloys of tin, lead, cadmium and bismuth.

  
The profile thus filled is then bent (Figure 3) to the desired shape, then perforated as indicated in 3 (Figure 4) to allow subsequent stringing of the racket.

  
The curved and perforated profile is then immersed in a liquid, for example water, brought to a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the metal or of the alloy 2, in order to evacuate the latter (FIG. 5).

  
The metal or alloy 2 is recovered from said liquid to be recycled.

  
This process offers the advantage of avoiding any defect in the worked profile. In addition, in the above-described application example, the evacuation of the metal or of the alloy 2 results in that of any filings and burrs which may result from

  
 <EMI ID = 1.1>

  
and deburring in this type of manufacturing.

  
It is obvious that the invention is not limited to the example of implementation described above, numerous other applications being possible.
