In the drawings of the embodiments described below, the same reference numerals appearing in the respective drawings denote the same features or components, and may be applied to different embodiments.
The embodiment of the invention provides a multi-pass drawing forming process of a cladding tube with straight ribs, which comprises the following steps: taking a circular section pipe as an initial pipe blank, and sequentially performing a pre-forming stage corresponding to a first special-shaped die, a transition forming stage corresponding to a second special-shaped die and a finished product forming stage corresponding to a third special-shaped die on the initial pipe blank under the combined action of the die and a core rod to finally form a finished pipe with a straight-rib cladding pipe with a certain characteristic section; the mandrel is used for controlling the inner diameter of the special-shaped section pipe formed in the corresponding pass, and the first special-shaped die, the second special-shaped die and the third special-shaped die are respectively used for controlling the outer diameter and the straight rib of the special-shaped section pipe formed in the corresponding pass.
In a specific embodiment, bright annealing is adopted among the forming stages of the pre-forming stage, the transition forming stage and the finished product forming stage to eliminate residual stress, improve work hardening and further recover plasticity.
In a specific embodiment, the number of the first special-shaped mold and the number of the third special-shaped mold are both one, and the number of the second special-shaped mold is one or a plurality of. When a plurality of second special-shaped molds are adopted, the deformation of the diameter of the pipe, the wall thickness of the pipe, the width of the straight rib, the height of the straight rib and the filling angle of the straight rib in the transition forming stage is realized by the plurality of second special-shaped molds together.
As shown in fig. 1, the drawing step of any pass is as follows: firstly, fixing a mould on a frame; adjusting a nut at the end of the core rod to enable the sizing section of the core rod to coincide with the sizing section of the die; reducing one end of the pipe by a head reducing machine to enable the outer diameter of the pipe blank to be smaller than the size of the inner hole of the die; evenly coating drawing lubricating oil on the inner surface and the outer surface of the pipe to form the pipe; fifthly, enabling the pipe at the warp shrinking end to pass through a die; plugging the mandrel with the adjusted position from the other end of the pipe; seventhly, drawing force is applied to the pipe penetrating through the die, the core rod inserted into the pipe moves towards the direction of the applied force, and the position of the nut at the end of the core rod is fixed by a baffle plate, so that the core rod cannot be changed after moving to the previously adjusted position; and the pipe blank generates plastic deformation under the combined action of the mold and the core rod.
As shown in figure 2, the cladding tube with the straight ribs prepared by the invention has one or more ribs protruding out of the outer surface, wherein the ribs are straight, the height of the ribs is greater than or equal to the wall thickness of the tube, and the tube is a typical special-wall special-shaped tube difficult to integrally form.
As shown in fig. 3, in a specific embodiment, a sectional view of a tube after being formed by different passes in a multi-pass drawing process of a cladding tube with straight ribs is obtained by taking a tube with a circular section as an initial blank, sequentially passing through a first special-shaped die, a second special-shaped die and a third special-shaped die, and drawing a tube blank with a circular section into a special-shaped tube with a certain characteristic section under the combined action of a mandrel and the special-shaped dies, wherein corresponding forming stages are respectively called a first-stage pre-forming stage, a second-stage transitional forming stage and a third-stage finished product forming stage. The drawing process of each pass is a forming process for reducing the diameter and the wall thickness of the pipe, except that the outer diameter and the wall thickness of a final finished product are determined by target dimensions, the selection ranges of the process parameters among the other passes are as follows: the diameter reduction rate is 10-35%, and the wall thickness reduction rate is 10-25%. A reduction rate below the minimum value of the selected range does not meet the rib filling requirement, while above the maximum value of the selected range results in an excessive amount of deformation and snapping.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the tube has a partially enlarged cross-sectional view after being formed in different passes of the multi-pass drawing process of the cladding tube with the straight ribs. Wherein the preformed sizing section is provided with a profiled groove with the width of W1, the height of H1, the fillet radius of R1 and the filling angle omega 1. The selection range of the process parameters is as follows: w1 is (1-1.5) W3, H1 is (0.2-0.5) H3, R1 is (1-20) R3, and omega 1 is 90-150 degrees. The transition forming sizing section is provided with a profiled groove with the width of W2, the height of H2, the fillet radius of R2 and the filling angle omega 2. The selection range of the process parameters is as follows: w2 is (1.5-2) W3, H2 is (0.7-0.8) H3, R2 is (1-5) R3, and omega 2 is 90-130 degrees. Third differential mold parameter (inner bore diameter Φ) in the final drawing stage (product forming stage) 1 Width W3, height H3, fillet radius R3 and fill angle ω 3) and mandrel parameters (outside diameter Φ 2 ) The size of the finished pipe is determined, and the finished pipe is the same as the size of a target product. When the combination is carried out between different passes, in order to increase the rib filling degree and prevent the inner surface of the position corresponding to the rib from flowing into the die cavity due to metal transition, and further, the groove defect is generated on the inner surface, so that the deformation degrees of the rest different passes are different in process design. Values of the parameters below the minimum of the selected range are disadvantageousThe next rib filling, above the maximum value of the selected range, will result in rib and groove defects, all of which will affect the dimensional accuracy of the finished tube.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the profile mold is schematically constructed. The special-shaped dies in different forming stages are used for controlling the outer diameter size and rib size of the formed special-shaped section pipe and consist of a conical inlet section and a cylindrical sizing section. Wherein the conicity of the inlet section is alpha, and a plurality of chutes with the conicity of beta are arranged on the inlet section. The process parameter selection range is as follows: alpha is 5-15 degrees, beta is 2-10 degrees, and both alpha and beta are too small or too large, which can result in poor rib filling effect and pipe breakage in the drawing process. The inlet section is provided with a plurality of special-shaped cross section chutes which are respectively the width W, the height H, the fillet radius R and the filling angle omega. The length of the sizing section is L 1 The selection range of (A) is as follows: l is 1 =0.5~5mm。L 1 Too small will cause the pipe to rebound and cause the pipe to deform and then the outer diameter of the pipe is larger than the target value, L 1 Too much will result in too much drawing force and tube breakage.
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the mandrel is shown schematically. The core rods in different forming stages are used for controlling the inner diameter of the shaped cross-section pipe after forming and consist of a conical inlet section with the taper of gamma and a conical inlet section with the outer diameter of phi 2 Length L 2 Is formed by the cylindrical sizing section. The selection range of the process parameters is as follows: l is 2 =0.1~1mm,γ=10~30°。L 2 Too small to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the inner surface of the deformed pipe, L 2 If the lambda is too large, the drawing force is too large to cause the tube to be broken, the lubricating effect of the lambda in the parameter range is better, and the drawing force can be reduced. The different forming stages are matched by the special-shaped die and the core rod, and the sizing section L of the special-shaped die is used 1 Greater than or equal to the core rod sizing section L 2 The sizing section of the die should include a core rod sizing section.
The material of the tube in the comparative example is 316L stainless steel.
Comparative example 1
When the diameter of a target product pipe is 6mm and the wall thickness is 0.5mm, the size and the performance of the product obtained by single pass and multiple passes (3 passes) are compared. The maximum rib height obtained in a single pass is 0.284mm, which is only 56.8% filled compared to the wall thickness. The maximum rib height achieved after multiple passes of drawing as proposed herein is 0.496mm, up to 99.2% filling compared to wall thickness. Therefore, compared with the product obtained by the single-pass scheme, the multi-pass drawing scheme provided by the invention has the advantages that the rib height is improved by 42.4%, and the rib filling effect is obviously improved. In addition, the increase of the height of the outer surface rib can improve the tensile strength of the ribbed pipe by 6-12%.
Comparative example 2

By adopting a common multi-pass drawing scheme, namely setting the rib groove width W and the rib groove height H of each pass to be the same (W1-W2-W3 and H1-H2-H3), the maximum value of the rib height is 0.418mm, the defect that the inner surface of the pipe corresponding to the rib is filled with 83.6 percent of the wall thickness, the defect that the depth of the inner surface of the pipe corresponding to the rib is 0.298mm appears, and the defect accounts for more than half of the wall thickness compared with 59.6 percent of the wall thickness. When the multi-pass drawing scheme proposed herein is used, i.e. different rib groove widths W and rib groove heights H are set (W1-1.5W 3, W2-1.3W 3, H1-0.4H 3, H2-0.8H 3), a maximum rib height of 0.496mm is obtained, up to 99.2% filling compared to wall thickness, and a defect depth of 0.076mm, accounting for 15.2% compared to wall thickness. In conclusion, compared with the product obtained by the conventional scheme, the multi-pass drawing scheme provided by the invention has the advantages that the rib height is improved by 15.6%, the defect depth is reduced by 44.4%, the rib filling effect is obviously improved, and the rib groove defect is further eliminated. In addition, the increase of the height of the outer surface rib enables the tensile strength of the ribbed tube to be improved by 6-8%, the reduction of the inner surface rib groove enables the stability and the strength of the combination of the rib and the tube to be greatly improved, and the service life of the cladding tube in the extreme environment of nuclear fuel is prolonged.

The common multi-pass drawing scheme is adopted, namely, the rib groove width W and the rib groove height H of each pass are the same (W1-W21-W3, H1-H21-H22-H3). The maximum rib height obtained in this case was 0.478mm, which was 95.6% greater than the wall thickness, and the inner surface of the tube at the position corresponding to the rib had a defect of 0.364mm depth, which was 72.8% greater than the wall thickness, which was half the wall thickness. When the multi-pass drawing scheme proposed herein is adopted, i.e. different rib and groove widths W and heights H are set (W1-1.6W 3, W21-1.4W 3, W22-1.2W 3, H1-0.35H 3, H21-0.7H 3, and H22-0.85H 3), where W21 and W22 are the widths of the two second profile die sizing section profile grooves, and H21 and H22 are the heights of the two second profile die sizing section profile grooves, respectively, the maximum value of rib height is 0.734mm, 146.8% compared to wall thickness filling, and the depth of defect is 0.136mm, 27.2% compared to wall thickness. In conclusion, compared with the product obtained by the conventional scheme, the product obtained by the multi-pass drawing scheme provided by the invention has the advantages that the rib height is improved by 51.2%, the defect depth is reduced by 45.6%, the pipe with the rib filling height larger than the wall thickness is obtained, and the rib groove defect is further eliminated. The increase of the height of the outer surface ribs enables the tensile strength of the ribbed pipe to be improved by 7-9%, and the height of the outer surface ribs of the ribbed pipe is greatly increased. Furthermore, a tube with a rib height greater than the wall thickness may further increase the positioning distance of the ribbed cladding tubes relative to each other in nuclear fuel applications. By extending the solution herein to different passes, a variety of ribbed tubes of different rib heights can be manufactured, enabling a versatile selection of products of different rib heights in the nuclear fuel cladding.
