Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to containers and more particularly to an improved stock material for making containers and a method for forming seamless drawn and ironed containers from the improved stock material.
- the use of a two-piece container for packaging beer and/or carbonated beverages has become very popular in recent years.
- the two-piece container consists of a container sidewall or body that has a unitary end wall at one end thereof.
- a finished container is produced by initially cutting a disc from a sheet or coil of stock material and substantially simultaneously transforming the disc into a shallow cup in a conventional cupping machine that forms part of a can manufacturing line.
- the shallow cup is then converted into a drawn and ironed container in a body maker wherein the shallow cup is reformed into a cup of different dimensions and then passed through a plurality of ironing rings that cooperate with a punch to decrease the wall thickness of the reformed cup and produce a seamless container.
- the cup may initially have a diameter substantially equal to the final diameter so that the reforming or redrawing in the body maker is not necessary.
- a lubricant-coolant is utilized in the cupper for providing the necessary lubricity between the surface of the stock material and the tooling.
- the body making machinery also incorporates mechanism for flowing a lubricant-coolant to the surface of the container and to the ironing dies utilized in cooperation with the punch.
- the lubricant-coolant consists of a mixture of water and an emulsified oil or emulsified synthetic lubricant, such as a commercially available Texaco 591 product.
- tinplate One acceptable alternative for the drawn and ironed aluminum container is commonly referred to as tinplate.
- This material includes a base plate of low carbon steel, such as black plate which has both surfaces covered with a thin layer of tin.
- the tin coating acts as low friction, ductile material during the ironing process and also resists corrosion. While tinplate has been found to be an acceptable alternative for aluminum, the availability of this material is limited and the cost is high.
- Bethlehem Steel Corporation also has continued its development efforts for producing a beer and carbonated beverages container from black plate using conventional machinery by applying organic coating to the black plate which can then be drawn and ironed at a price which is competitive to the present day tinplate or aluminium container.
- a proposed process is disclosed in United States Patent No. 4,032,678.
- This process contemplates the formation of polymeric thermosetting coating systems that enable container manufacturers to produce drawn and ironed beer and soft-drink cans from black plate.
- the foregoing patent describes two coating concepts that have been developed for black plate, one of which consists of admixing a thermosetting coating and a lubricant and applying this mixture to both sides of the black plate blank and partially curing the mixture before the blank is converted into a finished container.
- the other concept contemplates supplying the coating-lubricant mixture to only the one side of the blank (the side forming the outside of the can), and applying a coating lubricant alone to the other side of the blank (the side that forms the inside of the can).
- Actual tests carried out using such polymeric thermosetting coatings show that containers formed from such coated black plate, but without having an internal lubricant mixed with the coating, retained substantially more coating on the finished container than when the internal lubricant was present in the coating.
- the coating was removed in the form of large flakes or long narrow strips which would be introduced into the coolant and would rapidly clog up the filtering system for the coolant. These flakes or strips would also be carried by the container to downstream areas of the container processing line which disrupted the proper processing of the containers.
- the present invention provides a method of forming a seamless container having a bottom wall and an integral sidewall from metal stock material by cutting a disc from said stock material, drawing said disc into a cup and substantially reducing said sidewall of said cup in a multi-stage ironing process to produce a drawn and ironed container, characterised by applying a thin layer of a lubricant only of between 0.2 mg/cm 2 and 0.5 mg/cm 2 to at least one surface of said stock material before said disc is cut out from said stock material, said lubricant consisting of only an ester of a monomeric polyhydric alcohol having 3 to 6 hydroxyls and a 14 to 20 carbon fatty acid, and forming said seamless drawn and ironed container with at least some of said lubricant remaining on said surface throughout said multi-stage ironing process.
- a metal base of stock material that is to be used for forming a drawn and iron seamless container first has a thin layer of lubricant applied to at least one surface of the metal stock or blank and a disc is cut from the metal blank and formed into a shallow cup without the use of any additional lubricant or coolant.
- the shallow cup is then further drawn and ironed to produce a seamless container which again is done without the use of any additional lubricant in the liquid coolant, such as water, in the drawing and ironing machine.
- the present invention contemplates precoating a metal sheet or coil with a thin layer of lubricant to the metal sheet or coil, cutting a disc from the metal sheet or coil with the lubricant applied to it, forming a shallow cup from the disc, subsequently redrawing and ironing the shallow cup into a full sized container.
- a stock material such as an aluminium, black plate or tinplate metal sheet or coil
- a layer of lubricant consisting only of a fatty acid ester as defined above, applied to a surface of the stock material to a thickness of between 0.2 mg/cm 2 (1 mg/in 2 ) and 0.5 mg/cm 2 (3 mg/in 2 ) and preferably about 0.2 mg/cm 2 (1 mg/in2) and the pretreated stock material is then utilised in forming a seamless drawn and ironed container that has a bottom wall and an integral sidewall in conventional cupping and body making machinery that is presently utilized for making such containers.
- the body maker may be provided with a water coolant that has a small amount of rust inhibitor therein to maintain the tooling below a predetermined temperature.
- a commercially available ester lubricant made from a monomeric polyhydric alcohol having three to six hydroxyls and a 14 to 20 carbon fatty acid suitable for use in the present invention is produced by Mobil Chemical Company under the designation S-6661-003.
- the Mobil lubricant was successfully applied to one surface of black plate, tinplate and aluminium plate by a lubricator to produce a thin layer of lubricant having a thickness or distribution of less than 0.5 mg/cm 2 (3 mg/in 2 ) on the surface of the stock material that ultimately becomes the inside of the container. If necessary, to produce the desired thickness of the layer, it may be necessary to either thin the fatty acid ester with a solvent before it is applied to the surface of the stock material, or simply by heating the material before it is applied by the lubricator. A further alternative form of heating would be to heat the rollers that form part of the lubricator.
- Aluminium stock material in the form of plates was coated on one side with a lubricant consisting of only a fatty acid ester, such as the Mobil lubricant, to produce a layer on one surface having a distribution of approximately 0.2 mg/cm 2 (1.25 mg/in 2 ).
- a lubricant consisting of only a fatty acid ester, such as the Mobil lubricant
- These plates were then converted into cups and subsequently cans utilizing a commercially available cupper and body maker.
- the plates were positioned so that the lubricated surface became the internal surface of the cup and no additional lubricant or water was needed to produce satisfactory cups from the plates.
- the cups were then converted to finished containers in the body maker utilizing only tap water.
- drawn and ironed containers can be formed from coated black plate, aluminium or tinplate by precoating the stock material with a thin layer of a lubricant consisting of only a fatty acid ester as defined above and the drawn and ironed containers can be formed without the use of water or emulsifiable oils in the cupper and using only water as a coolant in the body maker or drawing and ironing machine.
- the lubricant consisting of only a fatty acid ester as defined above provides better lubrication for the tooling than the water-lubricant mixture. This is believed to result from the fact that the lubricant is initially located directly between the tooling and the container surface interface and also from the fact that the lubricant consisting of only a fatty acid ester as defined above withstands the high temperature encountered during ironing of the metal body without deterioration. Also, applying the layer of lubricant to the surface which becomes the inner surface of the container is believed to aid in stripping the ironed container from the punch.
- both surfaces of the stock material could be coated with a lubricant and/or the distribution or thickness of the layer or layers could be increased.
- tests have shown that increasing the thickness of the coating on one surface only will not increase the efficiency of the operation but will increase the cost without any additional benefits.
- Respecting the two-sided coating with lubricant it was determined that the additional coating on the second side increased the costs without deriving any benefits from the increased cost.
- tests showed that one side coated material would have enough lubricant transferred to the other side during the processing of the stock material and in the cupper and body maker to eliminate the need for applying lubricant to the second side.
- the lubricant is preferably applied as the stock material is fed to the cupping machine.
- the lubricant could also be applied in other ways.
